![]() Having a bit of spare time over the last 8 weeks; I decided to write up my case preparation process for .303 brass. Please feel free to comment and advise me of any errors or improvements that could improve my method. |
I am glad some one else is like me, I modified my father-inlays old beer bottle caper (same as drill press action), but to clean my cases I put them into a small plastic bucket with cheap household vinegar (white or brown cover the cases, when done put the vinegar back in container for next time) for about an hour or so then empty the cases into old stainless dog dinner plate wipe out side of case dry and place it on top of the wood heater, after an hour or so they are dry inside, if it's summer time place out in the sun to dry out.
For annealing I use a similar torch and hold the case in a gloved hand and turn the case as soon as the colour blue goes just past the neck (like yours) I just put into the stainless dog dinner plate (no dog food at the time) to cool.
thanks for your effort, my son lost his Lee decaping base, I'll tell him to find a nut like you.![Clap Clap]()

I mean a nut to use, not as I wrote "a nut like you"![Embarrassed Embarrassed]()
