    I'm using a Model B Thumbler to make mine. I was using hard lead balls, but recently made up some lead filled .308 cases with the ends peened over to try.

    I'm using the rubber drum rock tumblers from Harbor Freight with .45 caliber FMJ bullets as the media.

    Do any of you have a download of Ulrich Bretcher's recipe paper you would be willing to share?

    Cosmic_Charlie,

    Do you want a printed hard copy or a pdf file?

    When looking at Bretscher's Recipe Page with your browser you should be able to "print" a copy from your browser.

    When you click "File" at the top left of your browser window you should have an option like "Print Preview."

    When you click "Print Preview" you should have an option to "Save as PDF File."

    Enter a title for the file and select a location to save it to and you'll have it quickly.

    If not, I can send you a copy of the file. Or all of them if you'd like.

    Thanks SM, I got out the laptop and then the page works properly. Ulrich's wet grind method looks like an easy way to dip your toe in homemade.
