[QUOTE="smokey3, post: 2074618, member: 94479"] I was not trying to be rude. I just assumed that most reloaders would have that equipment on hand. I too sometimes will inspect my brass and polish by hand, but in some instances, a tumbler comes in pretty handy if you are doing large batches of brass. Most people that shoot a lot just do not have the time to hand polish their brass and speaking for myself only, I can not stand dirty brass going in my dies or my rifle chambers. Brass inspection is very important, especially when doing load development and checking for pressure signs. You are doing it right, keep doing what you are doing and be safe. I have a lot of money tied up in my equipment and saving money by reloading takes many years to even break even, so I have just always bought what I thought I needed and didn't worry too much about the cost of it. PS, I have had many years to purchase my equipment also. I started out in the early eighties with hand-me-down equipment from my father. Enjoy your new hobby and remember that most on here handload for the custom ammo and accuracy that is achieved by doing it themselves. With the price and availability of components in todays markets, it is hard to save money but it is very gratifying. [/QUOTE]
