UPS says my SS media is on the truck and being delivered today, Ready to tumble tonight, (hey that's sounds like more fun after reading it a second time).

I considered loading yesterday when we had no power as a way to pass the time, but thought priming and charging by candlelight would be a very poor decision.

I've been researching reloading equipment lately and am set on I want to buy.

 

I had no power for a bit over 30 hours this weekend, and my whole life revolves around power this or Internet that, so I was sitting on my couch reading a book (how quaint!) part bored and part frustrated. And all I could think was "hey, reloading doesn't require power...if only I had my reloading equipment I could be pushing out a couple cases of .45 right now!"

 

I'm thinking about reloading and I'm not even reloading yet. Now that's hardcore!

 

On a side note...have you guys ever heard of anyone using larger qty's (say, 10-15 lbs) of stainless media in a small concrete mixer to do large batches? The tumblers often sold with stainless media seem to be a bit on the small side.

Never heard of that but there maybe some that do something similar. I have the Thumblers unit with 5lbs of media and thats just fine for me. I used to use large tumblers at my fathers machine shop and was thinking something along those lines but for a tried and true workhorse I say why bother at least for how many rounds I will be reloading.

 

I did see there were some other tumblers out there that in pictures looked a little bigger and you might be able to get away with more media but for the cost of them to the benefit I didn't see a need.

 

Either way, let us know how you make out, but an open concrete unit might be a little much.
