Mate of mine copped that....its a fear of mine as well!

I've been a convert to Wet Tumbling now for some years and its the best thing since the proverbial line about sliced bread. They come out brilliantly clean inside and out, cleaner than new brass - dazzling! I really like how that black water (and oh boy is it BLACK) goes down the sink and I'm not breathing in lead dust or primer dust and its not contaminating EVERYTHING in my reloading room. Only thing is now and again, say 1 - 20 loads the shells come out black and gunky (100% no nickel cases in there) and I do the SAME thing every time. I always scratch my head why it happens and haven't worked it out yet. Yes I use pins (a double lot of pins in my Lyman tumbler) yes, they can be a pain in the backside, but with a turn handle separator.....less so.

I've taken .32 S&W Longs outta' 38's and 9mm I've taken 38's and 9mm outta' .45s And I've taken 32's 38's and 9mm outta' 45-70's and boy oh boy do all the smaller cases get stuck HARD!

I've ridden in one as a youngster around 10 or 11.....I do remember getting very seasick!

Ya' just had to didn't ya' lol 😊

La Cockaroach?

Cicadas..... Billions and billions of 'em and the loudest on the planet

Well....... 45-70 sure don't sound as potent now as 50-70 Next someone will come along flaunting there 50-120!

But but but they say "it's the way you use it" 😊

I instantly feel undergunned now with my 45-70

I hate leeches as well but much rather a leech than a tick

Golly I HATE ticks..... The Paralysis Tick is one of the biggest killers of dogs (and other animals) on the East Coast of Australia

I thought going to the outside toilet would trick 'em and I'd at least get 5 minutes of peace

Cobb & Co Cobb & Co was formed in 1853 by American Freeman Cobb, operating horse-drawn mail and passenger coaches between Melbourne and the Victorian goldfields. The company made their maiden journey, from Melbourne to the Forest Creek gold diggings near Castlemaine, on 30 January 1854. Travelling about 15 miles per hour, they arrived in half the time of their competitors. Routes to Bendigo and Ballarat soon followed. Cobb & Co was renowned for their speed and reliability, delivering passengers and mail on time despite rough roads and often poor weather conditions. By the 1870s they operated in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, harnessing some 6,000 horses a day and covering 45,000 kms of road per week. Unlike their competitors, who often delayed departures waiting for bookings to fill the seats, Cobb & Co ran to a regular timetable. They also offered passengers a more comfortable ride. Most coaching companies used English vehicles, with rigid bodies and stiff metal springs — ideal for paved city roads, but entirely unsuitable for country Victorian ’tracks’. Cobb & Co imported American coaches. The coach bodies were suspended on thick strips of leather called thoroughbraces, which helped to ‘isolate the passenger and driver from the jolts and bumps of the rough unmade country roads.’ Finally, Cobb & Co was much faster than their competitors. The company established ‘change stations’ every ten miles along the coach routes, where they changed horses. Fresh horses meant the coaches could maintain high speeds across long distances. The company employed hundreds of stable hands to ensure the swift and safe exchange of horses at each change station. With the development of the railway and the introduction of the motor car the horse-drawn coach disappeared, as did the many jobs it engendered.
