I'm with Steve. Don't second guess anyone. Just do it.

I also have the HF unit, and it works well to do large amounts of dry tumbling. I tinkered with running it wet, but like you, I was less than impressed with what it was doing. I think you're best to stick with rotary tumbling if you're wanting to run it wet.

I've got two 1050s, and had a 650. Go with the 1050. You say money isn't an object and you're not doing conversions to other calibers, though that doesn't bother me at all.

I started with a shorty 9, but have been shooting a full length 38sc for some time now. I honestly liked the balance and my shooting using the shorty better, but I made M with the full size.

Let us know how many cases you're able to load into the larger tube.

Thanks guys for the links and feedback. I too use Dillon case lube, but I tend to go through enough to notice the cost. I just wanted try my hand at making my own since I've seen before that it is the same as the Dillon case lube.

I'm having a tough time finding the mixing amounts for the homebrew case lube. Can anyone help?

I use the Dillon 1200 and the Giraud. For some hoser ammo, I may just trim with the 1200, but the Giraud is extremely fast at prepping the case mouths if they've already came off the 1200.

If I were ordering new brass, it would be from Starline simply because of how much they do to support USPSA.

+1 on Solo 1000. I've been shooting primarily open for the past couple years, but Solo is loaded behind everything that goes through a gun with irons for me.

I'd love to hear your method spideysteve. Kevin c is correct about giving old brass the credit that it deserves. I'm still always interested in what is working and not for others.

It's a wet tumbling method using stainless steel pins and a rotary tumbler. If deprimed prior to tumbling, it returns the inside, outside, and primer pockets of the brass to a like new appearance. You should be able to search for stainless steel tumbling and find some info about it. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks really nice.

No, it's not necessary, but those stainless steel tumbled cases that are clean throughout sure do look nice.

Just go to the link that I left on here and write in the "Write something..." bar under the pictures at the top. It won't be anonymous and will show that it was from you, but either the admin or yourself can delete the post as soon as you've gotten the addition that you were seeking to the page.

I thought you were looking for: www.facebook.com/USPracticalShootingAssn Or is that the same admin?

I don't see any way to figure out who is the admin for the page. If you post it on the wall with a request to add it to the events calendar, they'll be able to delete the post as soon as they do it, or you can delete it yourself at that point. It looks like that's the only way that FB wants individuals interacting with page admins.

That is a great post. It's exactly what I get when reading on some of the other sites.

@Skydiver: I'm not sure who "they" is, but try calling USPSA and see if they're running from there. I'm betting that they can help you there. @Corey: I don't believe that you can send a message to a page. I think that's why Skydiver is trying to find the owner, so that he can message them.

I bet you can post it on the wall of the page, and they'll get it directed to the events.

I pull with a lot of pressure toward the shoulder. Like Dyno, more on short targets than long.

I've been a big fan of the SJC Titan for a long time, but the Firebird Dominator has my attention. I can't wait to hear more feedback on it.

This is about as silly as it gets. I'm with Ty, I don't know many people who would have a problem with it, but know of nobody running film that would post someone against their wishes either.

Bedell 38SC 49.12oz

Very nice setup. I like the way the brass looks out of these, and best of all is the lack of dust. That alone is almost worth getting one of these.
