Couldn't sleep so I loaded up about 900 rounds of 22 Jet.

What do you use that for? Critters?

Just about anything. That little bullet going fast will put the hurt on most things.

But the big boom and massive fireballs with zero recoil is kinda fun too.

Discovered that I had a few hundred sized trimmed and primed .308 cases.

I?m not sure how Or why I did it, but They?re covered in case lube and tarnishing. So today I?m hand polishing .308 brass with a drill and steel wool.

Scored some primers and projectiles recently so threw together a couple hundred more rounds of 9mm in anticipation of an upcoming range trip.

Might do some more 223 but I probably should trim some brass and I just haven?t felt like it. Plus, another 500 or so rounds and I?ll be hunting for more powder anyways.

dry media tumble them for about 30 min. Then check to see if any media is stuck in the case.

I?ve noticed that corn cob media sticks in the primer holes pretty bad, walnut doesn?t or hasn?t thus far so I?m willing to give it a go when the tumbler is done with the current batch.

Deprimed a bunch of range pickup brass, marveled at what a shithole my tiny little space has become. I need a 2-car garage just for my reloading and brass monkeying.....

People over obsess about media in the flash hole. There?s no way a piece of corncob or walnut that small could impede anything in the ignition process. Just my opinion though. Maybe someday I?ll do an experiment to prove out my theory.
