That ragged old brass is now out of the tumbler.
It looks good, but I will not use this brass. I don't see any signs of corrosion on the brass, but those bullets were so stuck in the brass, that several casings were damaged by the force needed to dislodge the bullets. I found several cracked case mouths because many times, the bullet did not come cleanly out of the brass. It broke loose on one side of the case mouth, but was still firmly attached on the other. I had to "crack" those loose like cracking an egg.
and you can still see that black stuff on the inside of the case mouth where the bullet was seated. I don't know if it's something that was put there when the round was manufactured, or if it's the result of a chemical reaction between the brass & copper if these bullets were stored in a damp environment.
Also, since I used the Lee Shell holder in the RCBS kinetic puller, and so much force was needed to break the bullets free, some of the head stamps were actually deformed. This brass is for scrap. I recovered all of the LP primers, but I have no idea if they are any good. They'll go in a plastic pill container, labeled as to where they came from, and never used...
This was interesting. I managed to recover around 100 very reusable bullets, gave the bullet puller a workout & had a little fun with the tumbler as well.
