A Bit Of Pistol Ammo Reloading Trivia

[oldguyguns]

Was getting ready to clean and polish some 44 mag pistol brass and decided to add some 380 acp to the tumbler. Low and behold, once I cleaned tham and separated the cleaning media--some of the 380 were inside of the 44 mag brass. They fit perfectly. Learned a lesson there---even though they came out easily--LOL

Consider yourself lucky they came apart. Sometimes they will be so stuck you have to destroy them to get them out.

Same thing happens with 45acp and 40s&w brass, yet another reason to hate 40

I don't need a reason, I just hate 40.

I've had to scrap a fair number of 9mm, fused into 40 S&W with cleaning media.

You might try putting your larger caliber brass in tumbler first and running a minute so the brass fills with media. The put in the smaller brass. Since larger brass filled with media, smaller brass can not get in. Works for me 99.9%. Useful when I have small amount of two sizes brass I want to run together.

I agree you were lucky to get them separated.

I love that idea. Would love it more if they would sell it to me. They don't do direct sales; and the two outlets given on the "Find a Dealer" page have links that lead to the dreaded "404" page.

How/where did you get yours?

I’m 99% sure I got mine direct from them. Otherwise I’ve seen them in Dillon’s catalog

When it comes to brass - segregation is not such an evil thing.

Bought mine at Midway, years ago.

Amazon has them for a much higher price. I still need the .380 and 38 Super plates to get some day.
