Greetings from The Buckeye State

Greetings fellow reloaders!

I started out with the Lee Challenger single stage press, toyed with a Classic Cast clone from an unnamed manufacturer modified to use LNL quick change bushings and recently acquired a Lee Classic Turret press.

I mainly load pistol caliber cartridges and currently process my brass using the Lee Universal Deprimer, wet tumbling my brass using a Harbor Freight rotary rock tumbler in a soapy mix of citric acid (drink mix) and water, followed by hand priming.

I only have one four hole turret and two disk powder measures. I assume my collection will grow...

Merry Christmas!

Welcome. Sounds like you followed about the same path as myself, starting out. Gotta love wet tumbling in those harbor freight tumblers with stainless pins.

Haven't tried the stainless media yet, but have heard it make the brass look very shiny :-)

Hi Buckeye-
Welcome
I have a 4 hole Classic Turret Press You may not need to grow too much. Just for convenience get a turret for each pistol caliber you are loading and keep the dies set in each one. You shouldn't need more than the two disks for the powder unless your loading .44 mag
Good Luck

It does. I also deprime before tumbling. Gets primer pockets really clean.

Hey Buckeye, welcome!

Herzlich willkommen from Germany, too!

Wet tumbling without pins is only half the fun. Add some pins, and you'll have brass that you couldn't tell from factory new.
