Little brass shavings *solution*

Post by Riva9999 »

Hi all,

After loading ammo I used to paper-towel wipe each piece in case those little specks or crescent-shaped chips of brass were on the rounds. Today I packed a bunch of 9mms and there was no way I was going to do that due to volume, so I dumped them into a 30" wallpaper trough with a few cross-ways ribs in the bottom of the floor. Then I took a small shop vac with the round brush head and vacuumed them in a quick circular motion, including shoving them between valleys in the pan's bottom. This did really nicely and is way, way faster. Why didn't I come up with that 20 years ago??

Enjoy,
Aaron

Maybe think about belling the case mouth a little more?

equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
