kibster Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So after years of rifle reloading I tried cleaning a mixed batch of .45, 9mm, and .40 along with some rifle cases that were in a mixed bucket. Out the ALL in the tumbler and when i pulled them out I had a total mess of 9 stuck in the 40, and those stuckin the 45s. Total freakin mess. The walnut shells all holding it all together like glue. Had to sacrifice a bunch of 9 cases with a needle nose to get them apart... Lesson learned not to mix the pistol brass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranger Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Done that too. They never all would have stuck together if YOU WANTED them to................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASE772 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sorting brass is a great time for a beer and some tunes. Some good micro beer and "80's Hair Metal" and I can sort brass all damn day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I've found that if you get these types of cases stuck together(also had 223 and 32-20 stick in 45-70, and a 9mm case go so far in i didn't catch it til the sizing die told me), if you don't want to ruin a case, you can use a kinetic bullet puller and get the small case out without ruining anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfrank Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 You couldn't design a machine that can stick a 9mm in a .40 better than a vibrating case cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thermobollocks Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 It took me a while to figure out it's a lot easier to just clean a half gallon of the same caliber/lot at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partyboy424 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 These little devils are worth a lot more than they charge for them: Seconded, worth their weight in gold. We have a member who brings them to USPSA practices and matches as well. I wouldn't get half my brass back without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
