I power washed my truck a couple months ago. It has been a about 2 years.I can't say tumbling bullets is a bad idea if you like shiny bullets. I have not taken the time to wash my pickup for over eight months, so I probably won't take the time to tumble my bullets either.
How does the whisky get it sharp?Nothing gets me ready for bed like sharpening a good knife or broadhead with a glass of whiskey and watching a hunting show!
Takes some time before you can do it by feel and not watch what your doing though
More than likely it lessons the perception of doing tedious work...How does the whisky get it sharp?
I still have two hunting seasons of blood in the bed of the truck. It has a canopy, so the snow doesn't get in there.I power washed my truck a couple months ago. It has been a about 2 years.
I wanted to get all the blood out of bed and tailgate
I used to detail clean my truck. That clean look only lasts about 3 days with my lifestyle use. So I quit that silliness.I power washed my truck a couple months ago. It has been a about 2 years.

I've found the longer it stays on there the harder to get out. Not too worried about inside bed. It's the bloody hand prints on tailgate I worry about .l have two hunting seasons of blood in the bed of the truck. It has a canopy, so the snow doesn't get in there.
Agreed. It's my theory that the reloading community has taken/borrowed the term "cold welding" and used it as sort of an analogy to a problem they haven't fully understood. It's since become the standard/common term, even though it's not actually an accurate term for what's occurring at all.That article has a whole bunch of BS. The dude just flat out doesnt know what he's talking about and mischaracterizes a bunch of stuff. For some reason people on the internet have started propagating the 'cold welding' myth and have even heavily edited welding videos to make you think there's little to no heat involved. Make no mistake, spot welding is done with heat and the only reason it works is because the metal is hot enough to become liquid for a split second.
I will say this- I think what y'all are talking about with regards to bulet to case sticking is from galvanic corrosion due to a combination of dissimilar metals in direct contact with each other, and an electrolyte in between (salt in the sweat from your fingers), accelerated by exposure to humidity.
I've not had it happen to me but I'm in a dry climate.
Want to keep it from happening? Wear gloves when seating bullets, and brush some graphite powder in the neck.
No comment!No...how about your wife?

All it ever did was make me chase the wire from one side to the other!Makes a man more confident in his abilities as well
I agree. The carbon in the neck probably helps more than it hurts. Never heard of problems like that until everything had to be so shiney.I honestly don't ever worry about it. 10 year old reloads and no problems.
I think part of it might be over cleaning. Seriously.
I just tumble my brass in untreated corn media usually. I cannot see my reflection in it nor is it so shiny as to damage my retinas. It is functionally clean. The insides of the cases are still "carbon coated"…I beleive a thin film of residual carbon inside the neck is a good thing.
I don't leave it in because I have no way to measure it. I want the bullet seating and seating feel to be consistent.I agree. The carbon in the neck probably helps more than it hurts. Never heard of problems like that until everything had to be so shiney.
