Dustin Checotah Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I found one of those pesky 9mm lung blower-outers in with my .38 special brass after a wet tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Dustin, you must have a big tumbler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Checotah Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 Birdgun, I did clean that in one of the large thumler tumblers, with stainless pins. but I did it only. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned since 1906 as the head stamp suggests. It is a 37mm X 137?? 1 pounder case. I think from a Hotchkis or Browning Naval gun. Not sure witch. A friend from work gave it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 We burnt down a garage for firefighting practice many years ago. It was a sorrowful burn, they didn't tell us there was a brand new 30 gallon drum of motor oil inside, we could have salvaged that and put it to good use! I was raking through the ashes and hot coals with a ceiling hook and fetched one of the illustrated hulls out: it was an empty, but we didn't know it was in the structure when it was fired ... and we sure as hell did not know it still had a live primer! The primer cooked off when I flipped it around, the primer blew out and caused a minor eruption. I beat the dropped ceiling hook to the ground and cussed the snaps on myturnout coat for holding me so far off the ground, to the mirth and merriment of my fellow firemen!

Bugler Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Just use your inertia hammer to get the 9mm out.....might have to look for a different shell holder though. Bugler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Looks kind of like a giant 44-40 case to me. Otto… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Checotah Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Pat Riot, It is a bottlenecked case. In actuality the .44-40 is what I shoot in cowboy action. The .38s were for action pistol. I thought I would try a revolver for the action pistol and had been reloading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Checotah Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 Watab Kid, I have a sort of collection of cases and ammunition, no specific direction in it though just what I find cheap and interesting at gun shows and some range pickups.
