The post whore thread.

Is it that pmc bronze? That stuff seems underpowered.

Yep. I've got a shit load of xtac but the range wouldn't let me use it. I need to get up to Pawnee to try it out.

Stoner,

You are welcome to try some of the PCI 55gr (group buy) stuff, I've chrono'd it at NATO MV. I'd be happy to let you have 20 rounds for testing, or swap 100rds for anything you have. We can also head out to BLGC one day this week if you like and can find the time.

PM me if you like, or if you still have my number, call.

I might be free later this week. I'd be willing to try 20 and if it works if trade you some.

Noob question for the reloading post whores: I just tumbled my first brass with some Lyman tufnut media and it left all of the brass polished, but with a reddish dust coating, so the brass looks pretty dirty, almost a bronze color. Did I do something wrong? It wipes right off, but it seems like a huge PITA to wipe every case clean. What is the secret here? I did a bunch of searches and it seems like maybe a dryer sheet or two would have prevented this?

Yup, you forgot to add a dryer sheet. I usually tear them into 2-3 pieces when I tumble, and toss them out after each tumbling session.

I also have a pasta strainer that I put all of the brass in after tumbling and swirl it around a bit to get the last of the tumbler media off and also to knock off any dust. If you haven't figured it out too, you might want to do the tumbling outside because dust gets everywhere if you do it inside (although some people do tumble inside and deal with it).

Added several dryer sheets and it is still leaving all my brass with a fine coat of reddish dust... More dryer sheets?

When you do call me. I have standard, H and H3? buffers.

Were they already used dryer sheets or brand new? Sorry, should have clarified. If you use new sheets, they are coated with crap that makes your brass clingy. If you use sheets that were in the dryer/clothes already, it works better.

Could just be the media you are using too. I haven't changed my media in a LONG time, and it still gets my brass super clean and super shiny in 2-3hrs.

Just my luck.

Was driving down the mountain from work last night, and my check engine light came on in my car. Pulled over, stopped engine, started it back up and it was still there. Drove home. After waking up this afternoon, I checked it and still there. Checked all fluids, everything good. All fuses good to.

Drove over to Oreilly's, light still on the entire drive over. The guy comes out with the code reader and we hook it up. He then says, it won't read a code if the CEL isn't on. The stupid light went out the SECOND I go to the auto parts store.

Oh. I've been using new ones...
