I'm Ready To Start Reloading

kmw1954, No, I haven't done anything with the room under the stairs other than clean it. My daughter came over to visit the other day and she thinks it's creepy that I'm going to use that space. She says it's too small, but what does she know? LOL Long as I keep the door open, e'erthing's gonna be just fine! :D
 
Yay! Midway sent me an email this morning, and I got the order placed! Woohoo!


Someone mentioned a method to clean my brass. For at least the first run or two I am just gonna use dishsoap and vinegar. I may find out that I don't like reloading as much as I think I will, so I'm holding off on a few things. I've got a closet under my stairs to turn into a reloading room, and will probably go ahead and get a bench mounted press, regular powder dispenser, and a tumbler when I'm ready to move the operation there.
 
Keep in mind that everything you buy doesn't have to be new. My presses, dies, scale and powder measure were all bought used from ebay. Saved a good amount of money that way and the stuff still works great.

For cleaning brass I just use dish soap and Lemishine in a small plastic jar and tumble it on it's self. Comes clean enough for me.
 
Another easy way to clean, first deprime, then mix about a tablespoon of citric acid used in canning and a squirt of Dawn. Add this to about a gallon of hot tap water and stir for a few minutes. Let them soak for about ten minutes, then drain and rinse thoroughly in cold water. Then roll them mostly dry on an old towel, put them on an old cookie sheet in the oven at 220 degrees for a half hour and your good to go. You can find the citric acid in the canning dept. at Wally World.
 
Well, my goodies arrived today! Woohoo! I did manage to forget one important piece though--the little bowl thingy the powder goes into before weighing. Oooops! lol Maybe they'll have one at one of the local gun shops. At any rate, I'm very happy that I will soon be able to start reloading.
