    Hi ho a trimming we will go

    HI,
    As my luber bit the dust, I started trimming brass, had quite a bit that needed trimming between found, fired, bought 1x fired.
    Took 3 days.
    So now am deburring it all.
    That will take 3 days too.

    What went wrong with your luber?
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    Ya, what happened to your luber? Hate trimming, but I found that the lee trimmers, in a bat operated drill, in your lap while watching T.V. makes two things happen at the same time and makes trimming less boreing. And, you can trim and deburr at the same time. In in easy chair with a cloth to catch the shavings in your lap you can get a lot done in a fairly short time.

    HI,
    Under estimated the deburring time, cast 2 pots of 158 gr. 38 boolits. Took 3 + hrs. then got in a bunch of boxes of firewood. Ate a peanut butter & banana sandwich & took a couple hrs break, as was tired. During commercial on TV I went in to reloading room & did outside deburring. All tired out & sore so will finish up the outside deburring tomorrow.

    And what's wrong with PB & Bananas? Personally I prefer mayo, but to each his own

    HI,
    I answered the questions you posted about my lube/sizer on the HURA FOR RCBS thread.

    Never had a PB& Bannana sandwich until I went to Ga. They are great! Lots of southerners have never had a PB&Bacon sandwich, which was a hunters favorite in western N.Y. where I grew up. Have always got a kick out of people from one part of the country being critical of the food from another part of the country. The only complaint I have with that type of thing is how they seem to cook steak in Texas. It usually comes from well done to chared. Want mine at least pink in the center.

    BOOM BOOM the reason I asked is because I have a RCBS and really like it I also have a Lyman and some 28 years ago I tried to lube/size boolits in a cold basement the lube was cold (about 40 F) and it did not flow into the size die it blew the cast front off the sizer instead! I did Braze it back together so I can use it but bought a RCBS shortly afterwards.

    Most of the Texans I know prefer their steak medium to medium rare to rare. One fellow I know will eat steak raw, not me, I'm a medium fan.
