Just an FYI... I knocked out the primers ( I'm saving them for a buddy that shoots plastic bullets in 45 Colt for practice over the winter ) & wet tumbled the 100 cases I had pulled, over the weekend... 1st time through gave the cases a bronze color, I then changed the water, added 1/2 as much soap, & another dose of citric, & they came out yellow & nice again... so I think I'll do that for the other 150...

will probably have to use the powder for fertilizer, since I just dumped all the powder into the same container, & there were those 7-8 smokeless loads, in that 1st 100 rounds...

right now I'm finishing up loading the last of 650 rounds of 38 S&W, then will pull down the last 150 of the 44 Bulldog
