HA! No.... none of that...

Thanks! I appreciate it👍🤠🇺🇲

A hand full, at least!

Awesome! Thanks for watching👍🇺🇲

I'm not sure how bad it can get, but I did it to avoid leading in my barrel and chokes 👍👊🇺🇸

Sorry, sometimes the words don't come out of my mouth in the way I imagined it in my brain🤣

@@DummyRound 😂

Awesome, just grabbed a bag of those wads and they fit nicely by 2s. The 3x3 load seems tight in some hulls. Do you use buffer at all?

@@DummyRound No , with my luck they'd leak buffer in the action and mag tube . I keep them simple and reliable .

@@jamespollard1670 I hadn't thought about that. Good to know, thanks.

Awesome! It's very rewarding to be able to produce your own goods. Just start with the Ford Blue and you shouldn't have any issues. Good luck!

Yes sir! Also another tip with the Lee buckshot molds. The best tool for snipping them stringers of 3 apart is a pair of K9 nail trimmers and the little nipples won't be there no more! Try them out and let me know how it works for you!

Picked up a pair after I'd already cut them apart. I'll have it for the next round, though.

Thanks. Awesome! Good luck to you👊👍🇺🇸

It can increase hardness a few points depending on the alloy👍🇺🇲

I was using the Mini FART, so it doesn't have a rubber lining like the big FART or HF drum tumbler. This would only allow me to put maybe 3lbs in at a time and still have the drum turn. I put in enough water to cover barely cover them to keep dust and residue down. 4-8 hours was pretty meh, but 12-24 hours worked much better. Somebody else commented that quenching them makes it harder to tumble, which should have been obvious to me(but, I am dummy) Overall, very pleased and the next batch will be even better🇺🇸👍👊

@@DummyRound Ok I can see that. I currently use the HF 2 drum rubber tumbler with just 1 tumbler, dry, 1/2 to 3/4 full with the other empty. They only handle 6lbs total, I think. Still playing around with times. 1 hour seems to shine them up to a ball bearing look, not finish, with the flashing and nipples removed, yes, I said nipples, and 2 hours seems to beat them to a duller finish. I PC after 2 hours of tumbling. The way I'm looking at them is if I'm PC'ing minor defects will be smoothed by the coating. The other thing is we're making buckshot rounds not precision rounds. They should work fine at the distances intended for. My buckshot makes the same sound if I use W/W's and quench after PC'ing. I only quench the one time. BRO did a video on dog nail clippers for separating the pellets. I got one off Zon, they're excellent for doing that step. after a little practice you can make them nipple free, so a long tumbling time is not needed. I just cast up a pile like yours of #4 last week, took me about 3/4 hours to cut them apart. Keep up the good work DR 👍

I had a pair of the nail clippers somewhere but couldn't find them and ended up with the wire cutters🤣 I'll probably air cool them next time to ease the tumbling process. Then, the final quench after PC should be sufficient. Like you said, it's buck shot, not a precision round👍

Thanks!

Thanks, brother. I appreciate that. Nothing is really original any more, just how it gets delivered. I'm just trying to show people what works for me and have a bit of fun with it at the same time. Hope you have a good extended weekend!

Range Scrap + Linotype + Water Quench

Thanks!👊👍🇺🇸

💥🔫👊👍🇺🇸

Just need some of that beloved range time👊👍🇺🇸

Thanks!

Lol no

It's a polymer, by the way.
