  1. Tom,

    There was an ad earlier in the Classifieds for .40 Brass:

    1 large flat rate box packed to the gills.

    Brass is twice fired at most, all has been sized/deprimed and tumbled.

    $130 shipped

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  2. From looking at the brass it appears the exterior is clean and shiny. However, looks like the interior of some of the brass appears dingy-hard to tell. Once you get the stainless steel media the entire casing will be completely clean and shiny like new brass. I alway deprimed before cleaning and the primer hole was completely clean. I don't know whether you want to go to that much trouble or not. Do you plan on selling brass?

  3. Looks real nice. However, once you add the stainless steel media it's gonna add a lot of weight to the unit. Do you have any information on the motor running the mixer? Maybe you could buy a better, durable motor for it. Or maybe if the brass meets your satisfaction like it is you may decide not to get the stainless steel media. Are the insides of the brass clean? How about the primer holes? Would be interested in seeing the cap you are getting for it. I may think about buying one if everything goes well for you.

  4. Yes, you can use the same data but start at the bottom of the load chart and work your way up developing your load. Your OAL could be different for different bullets depending on their ogive. Make sure you chamber check your bullets to make sure they fit correctly-use dummy loads to make sure the ammo cycles without any hangups.

  5. I know of some individuals who have used the cement mixer to clean large quantities of brass but by using the dry method. I really don't know how the mixer would work with liquid. The weight of the cases, pins, and water might be too heavy for the motor on the mixer. Also Harbor Freight stuff doesn't really have a good reputation for quality and stamina. Were any reviews available for the mixer. Have you read the other threads on BE concerning cleaning with Stainless Steel pins? You might try to find a sturdier model and take the HF mixer back for a refund.
