Yes very true I am starting to get very tempted to buy my self a 30-30 for thick scrub hunting. Oh and by the looks of it the case tumbler could be becoming a thing of the past as hornady is releasing a sonic cleaner for case cleaning next year aswell.

I prefer my 0000 steel wool and a cordless drill with the lee case trim shell holder. I do have a home made case tumbler but that darn thing gets me into trouble with noise control every time I turn the SOB on and you need hearing protection just to get near it and the worst thing is it jumps around and tries to take the leap of faith off the bench but it does work well when you can get it to stay put.

Well, shooot, you boys just don't have enough brass to tumble properly. If you get real serious about it, a nice small size cement mixer makes a dandy tumbler. Get one of them truck mounted models and you can drive to the gun shop while tumbling your brass.

That word is TRUCK, mate, not trunk. You know, those great big things that go on down the road from one place to another, usually hauling several yards of cement to build a bridge or something.

What's a nissan primer anyways? I always use Winchester or CCI myself. Are those nissans easier to find on your side of the world?

Thats Primera mate not primer but I do use PMC primers in my loads though
Can't seem to find a good ford without the big window price tag these days so I have to settle for the next thing on the list. Now for the truck thing I will be able to get away with that once I have my truck license

I see Hornady still refuses to release the 140gr .357" bullet as a component. I'd like to think it's because they're barely making enough to fill the demand for loaded ammo; but I'd sure like to try some in a Maximum.
