    Cleaned out my storage closet... It was getting hard to walk in there!

    I found all kinds of stuff I was missing. As much as I really procrastinate cleaning up stuff, it is great when everything is organized and you find your old stuff.

    One thing that is in that closet are my bins for dirty brass. Last time I did the "big" brass cleanup was about 8 months ago. So, it was interesting to see my shooting habits over the course of the last 8 months.

    UPS dropped off a lot of work today.



    The last of the brass is in the tumblers now. I should have broken out the cement mixer but I didn’t have enough dirty media for initial cleaning. Didn’t want to kill that much new media. Not looking forward to the processing to come.

    I forgot - last week I resized/deprimed/trimmed/deburred 300 44 mag cases...
    While cleaning out my storage closet, I had about 200 44 mag cases all trimed/primed/ready to load.

    I've used my Kubota and front end loader several times to move or unload lead. I wish the bucket was a quick change one because I would have a set of forks if it was.

    I'm still trying to get my room straightened up. As I have felt like it I have been sorting, tumbling, prepping and storing away a bunch of brass. I have coffee cans and boxes of brass sitting everywhere and its a mess. I even came across a bucket of weights that I sorted.

    I have plans for a heavy duty shelf for my loaded ammo that should help in keeping my room neater.

    I got a couple of those NSF Restaurant shelves from Costco for $90. 18x48x72 tall or 2 half height, 6 shelves rated for 600 lbs but I've seen restaurants exceed that by a lot. I built plywood cabinets to fill the space in between but that didn't go near as fast as the NSF Shelves.

    I bought a pair of thickness gauges (attach to Verniers like yours) some years back.

    I just last night scored a brick of Australian Winchester 42g SUBSONICS I have been looking for for most of a year!!

    Im gonna bust out my gauge and do as you Charlie!!
