Good to hear Al, wonder why the 41's cycle a longer cartridge than the 44's?

Decapped some .223 brass and then into the wet tumbler. First 600 yd F Class practice is March 18th so I had better get going....... :D

You tumbler looks like mine. Did you add those two gray bands on the bucket, or did you do that yourself? Good idea, may add that to mine. Better traction.
Yes I did, it’s self adhesive grit tape. I was getting too much slippage and this made a great difference.

From the looks of all the empty tumbled brass I have on the bench, I better get started soon.

I watched the spent brass pile up on the bench. Yikes, I've got some work to do. I'm still waiting on that heavy snow day, but it looks like Spring is close. The Poplar trees are budding, iris's are poping up, and the Birds seem to be back. It got up to 61° today.

Gonna start back reloading some 9mm, I had put aside for a while. Looks like it going to be rain the rest of the week. So, something to pass the time. I've got about 400 pcs of brass left, so I'll have something to do 'til Spring, then I have plenty to do outside.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Loaded 100 .223 Rem match loads. 600 yard F Class practice is next week. I also replaced the scope rings going from high to medium so I’ll have to re-sight in the rifle. Shucks. :D
