This is long. I couldn't find the thread about what we are doing during the quarantine so here goes.
Using Berger jackets right now in bucket. I measure out 1,000 and then wash them in camp gas. First one jar, drain, 2nd jar drain, ect. 3 jars. Then put on towel and dry overnight. I always leave the temp at 70 degrees in my shop when making bullets. The next day put the jackets in a jar, place the 1 grain of lube in with them and tumble for 15 minutes. I take them out and start filling my bullet boards which hold 252 pcs. Once the boards are full I put the blind piece on top of them and the border on top and dump a bunch of lead cores on there and shake them around until all the holes are full. Then I pull the blind piece out and the cores drop down into the jackets. Now we're ready to core seat.
