Difficulty tumbling and re-sizing my brass, any ideas?

[Rightwinger]

New caliber for my AR build. Giving me a few issues prepping the brass.

I'd definitely try to find some carbide dies. Otherwise, you'd go through a ton of lube...

You need a bigger gun

[Rightwinger]

:pKeep it on topic and don't bring personal issues into the discussion please!

[mikegideon]

Sorry... you need a bigger rifle

[deerslayer]

You might want to look into a muzzle brake...

[Rightwinger]

I could modify two Hyundai's and barrel I reckon, help take the edge off the recoil?

[Okey]

Anneal the brass before you size down the neck.

Okey

Brasso would do nicely!!

Keep up the good work!

Might want to check the adjustment on your sizing die. As for tumbling, take it to the laundry mat and tumble in the dryer. You can get large bags of media at the pet store. Just leave it in the dryer when you are done so the next person can use it.

This reminds me of an all day, fun filled seminar I attended on bolts. I think the same principle would apply here. The only thing I took away from that torture session was "the larger your shaft, the better grade of lubricant you'll need." (This guy wasn't attempting to make a joke).

Anyone out there, especially an old tanker, want a piece of history? Or just a honking big piece of brass? Fired from a M48A5 by yours truly on Summer annual training as platoon leader, H Co., 278th Armored Cav, summer 1984. Target, cease fire.

As you can see, it's just being a door stop for me. It does clean up nice and shiny but I'm out of Brasso. Holler if interested.

I think it'd be a neat relic to have. If you were closer, I'd take you up on it!

I can use that!

[Good_Steward]

56Fordguy is getting the brass. It got me looking for videos on Youtube and this one was pretty cool.
