Somehow the idea failed in the implementation. Don't blame me. I voted for Trump. Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I had an industrial accident, spilled maybe a teaspoon of water into my plating tumbler drum unaware I'd done so. What a mess. But, after I retumbled the bullets in a dry spare drum with some sacrifice shop rags, they were the shiniest, slickest things ever. No neck welding EVAH. Shortly after, Mic McPherson wrote of his similar discovery, more deliberate. But since then, I've tumbled bullets with a pinch of moly and a sneeze of water. It's usually pretty dry where I live, if I don't shoot or don't plan on it for a while, I'll dampen a patch with Kroil or even just good old 9 and that takes care of any rust fuzzing. Did have that once. I've got a bunch of good loads, a bunch of good rifles that shoot fine and clean easy, so I guess it works for me. TROUNDS! Oh yeah. Them. Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.
