Hmmmmmm I think you are on to something Tony! lol

cool....sounds good John. Thanks again!

Yes, the 357 will absolutely be stopped by a vest. The theory behind the .22lr is there is a lot of energy, in a small space as opposed to it being spread out and allowing the kinetic energy to be absorbed by the vest. Same reason a knife will penetrate a vest. Someone told me like this...if I stomp on your bare foot while I'm wearing a boot, the energy is dispersed across the whole heel of the boot and a wider part of your foot is absorbing the energy. Now, if I were to stomp on your foot wearing a high heel woman's shoe, the same amount of pressure and energy would be in a much smaller area, possibly even going through your foot. Or, the same way you can walk on mud and you will not sink, because the energy is dispersed. If you stick your finger in the mud, it will go right through. Believe me, I am no expert on any of this stuff...this is all second hand info. I've never done any experiment with regards to this theory.

I was always led to believe .22lr will penetrate a vest, unless it strikes the trauma plate obviously. A .22's size and lack of energy allows it to slip right through the threads of level I and level IIA vests when tested from any gun with a 10" or longer bbl. Who knows, this very well be urban legend. Perhaps this was true with old school Kevlar? I know I will most likely get chastised for this...so I am looking for documentation as we speak, before everyone asks.

My first batch is sifted and clean. Dull, but clean. I polished it with a towel just to see and it was shiny. I guess the polish really makes a difference. I had no dust at all while sifting. I went slow, all came right out. With the exception of some residue inside the bowl, there was no mess at all. Because I'm reusing the media, do I need to add the polish to every batch, or just add it to the media once?

lol...oh okay. I got one of those covered hand crank tumbler things to sift...looks like there is a decent seal on it, we shall see.

So, I got my stuff in the mail today, and I'm cleaning brass as we speak. Its pretty cool. How do you get dust with the lid on? I didn't have any dryer sheets and I wanted to give it a shot for a few minutes. I just screwed the lid on and there is no dust at all...? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? How much media should be in the bowl? I have it about 3/4 of the way full. It has been running for about an hour now, brass looks much cleaner. I did not pick up the nu-finish either, I didn't have a chance to pick it up today. The outside of the shell is nice and clean, but the inside still has some black crud all the way at the bottom near the primer, will that eventually come out?

Wow...and to think he wants me to employ him in a architectural capacity for a project. I prefer people who are affluent in, at minimum, 4th grade reading, punctuation and grammar. Master that pinky, then we'll talk. Don't you attend planning board meetings? For goodness sake man, I hope you have someone proofread for you.

Ok, very good info John, thanks! PS....hahaha!!!

lmao John I'll bet they go nuts when you say that!!!! People say that all the time and its so frustrating....when they are not joking like you of course lol. My reply is yes, the blue, yellow and pink foam smothering your car from top to bottom is fake, its not really there. :roll: Thanks for the tips gentlemen, I will pick up some nu-finish today. How much should I add? Add it right to the media? Great idea with the dryer sheets.

Right, that is what I was told also.

Do any stores carry the polish locally?

wow dryer sheets? Cool...will do....I'll order up the polish...2 hours it is. Thanks Tim.

I collect my brass and my father in law reloads it for me. . . I'd like to at least clean it for him first. So, I purchased a RCBS vibratory tumbler, as well as corn cob media & a hand sifter thing with the crank arm. Here are my questions... 1. Just dump it in and let it go? 2. How long does it have to run for, or just until its clean? 3. Will the corn cob media polish the brass as well or do I need an additional additive? 4. Leave the primers in while tumbling right? They get removed after cleaning? I don't have a press so I can't remove them anyway.

Yeah, the hunting rounds are a little pricey, just like every other ammo. UMC is available around $12-$13 per box of 20 rounds / $25 bucks for a 40 round box.

More space on TiVo?

Cablevision? Why not just use the DVR boxes?

@ "Bulk" Have you not realized it is just about all muscle Daniel? I only have 4% body fat. :?

AMEN Jon....Mine turns to 1999 every time I turn on my boxes too. I had it set, but since this new channel 7 bs it changed to go to ch 1999 alert. :roll: You can change it tho, on the remote.... Settings>>>Settings (again)>>>>>arrow down once to "Viewer: Power on">>>>Right Arrow>>>>then select the channel you want to be on when you power up the box. 704 for me

+1000. I'm speechless, is this cuntry ever going to toughen up? Or is the pussification just going to continue until we are all huddled on the ground in the fetal position crying for our mommies? Am I the only one that wants to puke every time I read one of these stories? I can't stand these fkn conservative puzzy jakoffs. It is disgusting how these anal yuppie super dads and frail soccer moms are so incredibly over-protecting their children from EVERYTHING. Helmets for everything, sanitizing wipes, grief counselors, psychiatrists, knee pads, elbow pads, child proof cabinets, child proof medicine bottles, child proof door locks, child proof every effin thing. Stove protectors, door protectors, toilet protectors, stair protectors, foam glued all around every table and every corner in the house. We are raising generations of overly soft, overly fruity kids who are going to grow up to be an embarrassment to our country. GET TOUGH and let nature run its course. Let kids be kids, they get hurt, it happens. Leave them the hell alone. What happens when they are introduced into the real world and mommy and daddy softy are not there any more talk about shell shock. A LOT of people are going to be in for a VERY rude awakening some day.
