Anybody ever try these? The brass sorting thread got me to searching and I ran acrossed these and wonder how they'd work on smaller batches of different caliber brass to keep them from telescoping with other cases.
Seem like I've alway got a few of this and a few of that that always need tumbling, but I hate to just fire up the tumbler for a few of each and have it run awhile for this small batch and that small batch.
Solution looking for a problem? What say you?

I always run smaller seperate batches and bought a 2nd tumbler for that reason. Wish I would have tried this first lol.

Looks like a great idea

I run a Thumblers model B rotary and just wonder how they fair in it, guess I could always try and see.

For $8, you can't go wrong. I think you might need to tie them off loose or the media won't be able to work it's way all around the case. Trial and error I guess.

Might have to try them, but I'm searching here at the house first, seems I remember seeing something like these around here somewhere.

No onions here right now, but I remember seeing them around here on something of my wife's. She probably saw me typing about it and hid them.

Yep, that's what I was seeing and I got slapped down for thinking it. Too flimsy anyway. Guess I'll be ordering one. :thumbsup:

I seldom have ever had more than two batches of the same cartridge/brand with a different number of firings so I wanted to keep them separate. When that happened I just left the primers in one batch but not the other.

I'm not so much worried about that, more the wedging of 9's in 10mm's and so forth.

I just worry that they might be to bulky and take up to much space in the tumbler, but good catch on the substitution. :thumbsup:

I inspect every flash hole for media after a tumble anyway. Since I have to touch each case, might as well sort them then.

I'm not looking to these for sorting purposes, but to keep different size cases from getting wedged inside other cases.

Buff, you and I seem to be the only ones that get it. :sad20:

I was beginning to think that too.

I just don't tumble different size cases at the same time.

Congratulations, glad that works for you. :rolleyes:
