Are you wet tumbling and possibly not drying the cases enough after?
-
I had trouble with a powder measure. had a questionable production run and tried weighing to avoid taking apart a couple hundred rounds. Variations in cast bullet weight and the weight of cases made by different manufacturers compared to relatively light powder charges was enough to call the method into question. Your call, I took them all apart.

A descriptive term of the day, I was surprised it was still available. I had considered Major Rip Snorter, but thought that might be a difficult standard to meet. It also let me have a gun cart with a tombstone shaped back piece, RIP cut into it.

Schooling in Australia compared to the USA
Rip Snorter replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
In the city, grade school, a very long time ago, it was basically business attire. When my parents relocated to a pleasant suburb, it was definitely not. Jeans, sneakers any kind of shirt. Took about a week to convince my Mom. Fortunately the city neighborhood was a tough one. -
Attractive little gun, but I thought it a Kid gun when it came out. When I had kids a lot of years on, there were other options.

Pretty quick! After a bit! Later!

No Doubt A Fine, Upstanding Citizen

By the standards of this site and others I am not impressed other than by his low IQ. -
Don't recall what mine cost, it was several years back. Absolutely no regrets! You do need to get or do the service regularly. The only problem I had was a battery failure. It self tests once a week and has green / orange / red warning light system. I called on orange, got the repair shortly after it went red. Fortunately no power failure.

You will not regret it! The difference is, with whole house, when the power goes down (you do have to restart and reset clocks) you count and smile and the power is back.

Whole house is Generac, been excellent annual service scheduled and performed. Small is a Honda - had it since Y2k, has been serviced a couple of times. Mid size is a dual fuel - have never needed it / used it. It has never had gas in it, so should run with propane. Got it just before the whole house. A little windfall financed that.

Man, I can't imagine living without a Whole house generator and an auto switch. In total I have 3, small, medium and Whole House. Power goes down, 15 seconds, comes back, generator online. We have a great power company, so rarely an issue. Y2K I was without power for almost a week in the suburb of a major city. Haven't been without a generator since. Like guns, have it when you need it. Even a small one makes a BIG difference.

We even did airbursts with cherry bombs and M80's - talk about risky, slingshots for the CBs, M80s taped to arrows! That was Freshman year college!

There is that, maybe go with the flow. -

That boy woulda worn out his welcome on maybe the second visit, if not the first! -

Track of the Wolf appears to have 50 70. -
I had a friendly pharmacist who would order chemicals for me and occasionally make suggestions. Long gone but fondly remembered!
-
I wonder if fireplace color chemicals would work, NOT a suggestion, a question.

Ditto on the fuse.

Brit Manual? Don't think there was much U.S. Bren use. I almost never watch Youtubes, apologies if the answer is there.
