Why tumble brass - Page 3

Ripnbst, I reloaded the same .308 Win case 47 times with max loads shooting the bullets through a chronograph. Velocity spread was about 25 fps about the same speed for all. No signs of pressure at all. I don't think powder and primer residue build up was significant.

I do it because of all the above statments as to why, but also I do it because I like the look of my finished product.

I have many people ask if my reloads are factory rounds. The only draw back I have is sitting and decaping every thing befor it hits the thumblers tumbler.

But the results are well worth it.
