I mistakenly bought corncob instead of walnut. I find it is slow and doesn't do the best job. With walnut, I usually tumble 4 hours with better results than shown here at 6 hours. This is with NuFinish and new corncob:
I am polishing first, because I will be pulling a bunch of these bullets and intend to reuse the primed cases. The cases had a very even patina from firing and handling. I weighed the factory loaded cases and they were extremely close to 332 grains. The pictured reloads were all very close to that weight.
I have two smaller lots that were either around 340 grains, or 310 grains. I plan to pull samples of each group and weigh.
You can see my tiny crack scale in the powder photo. It is priceless to quickly weigh all of the things.
Here are some prices from times gone by, if only we had a time machine:
ETA: out of the entire group, there was only one high primer. Out of the ones that weighed on the lighter side, the projectiles had some odd scratches, almost like plier marks, but not so deep. Almost like wire brush marks. Both boxes of projectiles are full, as well as the large pistol primers and powder. This is the the reason I hit yard sales, but I never have any luck.
This was an excellent day!
