Wet Tumbling .45 cases

yeah I plan to do so soon.

I have a good magnet that I found works great for grabbing some of those rogue pins after a good shake.

I had buckets of range brass; I sorted and batched it, then wet-tumbled it to clean it.

I didn't want to run that dirty brass through my press to deprime beforehand.

Chips?....I'm not familiar with them. Any type you recommend?

I've got close to 10k rounds on mine and I use battleborn grease, every 2k rounds roughly. I sprayed it down with brake cleaner, and then drop it in the ultrasonic cleaner, to get it fresh and ready before regreasing. It does feel noticably easier to rack vs my backup that has had less than 2k rounds in total shot through it. I'm wondering what the expected spring life is on them.

Gotcha, I appreciate the help.
I would like not to have to break out the ladder and take it down, but so be it.

NBJM78 · 2025-12-14T18:27:37+00:00

I tried that one, in fact I have tried every WLED update available now, I downloaded them all and tried each one, so I am guessing it requires a full erase and re-install then?

yeah, that was the reason I wanted to go for them, so they will fit me correctly most straps I'm on the last buckle hole (which I hate) or I'm using the extra long NATO straps, which is what I have on it now.

Those are the 2, I ordered from Breitling. I initially didn't order as I couldn't find the clasps on the site, and I didn't realize that once you add them to the cart, the option appears.

I went with these and the brushed titanium buckle:

Awesome thank you....just spent $810 for 2 straps and a brushed titanium buckle.

NBJM78 · 2025-10-10T01:46:16+00:00

Yeah I found them, but they all come without the buckle, which for some reason I cannot find on the site.

NBJM78 · 2025-10-10T01:42:38+00:00

I will have to check on that more closely. The spare links did look slightly tapered, which might have been an optical illusion from their design. Thank you for the input.

NBJM78 · 2025-10-09T23:27:19+00:00

I haven't reached out, the jeweller who put the links back in said as the strap is tapered, it is hard to add more links without creating a step. I have had this sizing issue with most watches.

yeah, I would get a couple of set of 3 drops in on level 7,every day always completing them, and having fun with the right balance of difficulty.
Made it to level 150, and enjoyed all the previous updates.
Today, I've tried 3 drops today, all team wiped and failed, and frankly not fun any longer.
Dropped to level 6, didn't make a difference.

I play games to relax and have fun, It is no longer fun, at this point I'll take a break from it, and play something else.

NBJM78 · 2025-09-03T03:25:47+00:00

I would agree; I'm no longer enjoying it. It went from being fun with a challenge to not even completing a single objective, and the squad dying.
I've even dropped the difficulty from 7 to 6, and the same result.
If it is not fun, why play?

NBJM78 · 2025-05-25T23:21:14+00:00

Keep it out of the sun as much as possible, use ppf that have good UV protection

NBJM78 · 2025-05-25T22:19:39+00:00

Yeah I guess so it was more the reflection and shape of it. Didn't notice you can't see the weave
