If you think this Cronovirus19 thing is contagious, wait until you get a good case of reloading and casting virus. Nobody yet has come up with a cure. I was able to quit smoking but I have never come close to shaking the shooting/reloading virus and it companions contagions. my .02 anyway. james

It must be the lock down thing that we think about cleaning brass
I was given two 5 gallon buckets full of once fired .38 SPL. brass. Well I filled two coffee cans full and de primed them and put them in the Frankfort Arsenal tumbler with SST pins and a jell blob of Cascade dish washer soap. One of those cans hold more than 1000 cases Now I better cast some .38 wad cutters for my 52 S&W Master. Maybe some day I will get to shoot and make those shiny cases all dirty again.
I have a couple buckets full of plated .40's also but I think they will stay in the shed, don't have a .40.

my wife told me If I could show her that I could shoot a 223 for free she would not choke me for buying another firearm. So, Istarted piking up brass from the range 1600lbs later (took one season) and one trip to scrap dealer, I had enough to buy powder, primers, dies, and some other toys. Showed her my fiscal sheet bottom line were I would be able to even buy gas to go and shoot. With out so much a scoff those words we all hold dear came out " well if you think you can use it go ahead" so I took her out bought her flowers and dinner and then took her to the lgs where she bought me my prize.

when i first joined here i found out that all the brass that i didn't load for other people could use here.I picked up brass while cleaning around my range for years. If i didn't reload that cal or know someone who did, i threw it in a 5 gal bucket when it was full or close it went to the scrap yard.I started reloading in the Late 80s started to help around the range in the 90s. Thanks to this site most of the brass i pick up gets put to good use. Learning how to cast has saved me a lot of money (thats what i tell my wife) i spend more time shooting at the range ,recycle all the lead from the back stops,have developed a cast load for almost every gun i own.

Boy do you fit in around here! More ideas and more opportunities - I didn't even know Uberti made a 41 Colt until HarryO posted pics of his. Now I have one! Now when I see an unusual rifle I think of what I could do - even to the point of making brass - because of the guys on this site. Course, I had the 8mm-06 long before the internet so I guess it comes natural to me - but these enablers showed me how I can take advantage of orphan guns!! Or have one made, I now have a 25 Krag AI barrel for my Encore and have the reamers if anyone else wants one. Welcome to the addiction.

Welcome!
I have buckets of 357sig, 45gap and 40s&w I joke that they are part of my retirement fund, I’ve never owned a gun in any of these.
You ever get something in your head and even when circumstances change you don’t shake it? Well that’s how I ended up with 29 50cal ammo cans of 45acp LPP all cleaned and prepped.
I must have been a crow in my past life; lf it's shiny, I'll pick it up. Plus we have lots of non reloading blasters at some of my clubs. So I train for a while, then I clean up. Some stuff I had kept for years only to discover it wasn't any good. Like TW 73 223 brass. I went to load it recently for the Bolt gun and found all primer pockets loose. The Federal 223 was the same. big letters FC 223. The primer pocket web was thin too. Yikes, more scrap.
Wet or dry tumble on the 40 brass? They sure got nice and shiny!
Women are complicated....men just need a little shiny brass to be happy....
Casting and reloading are easy to get into... Light up the coleman stove and throw on a pot!
