Great results! This looks like it could be quicker, cheaper, and offer a higher capacity than stainless tumbling. Are the primer pockets and the inside of the case as clean as the outside? Are there particular settings and detergents that work well?

-you're thinking too much about it! Any wash cycle and washing powder/liquid that you do clothes in will do.
The primer pockets are not as shiny,but are still very clean regardless.If i use my pocket cleaning tool afterwards no dirt ever comes out.Because they're rattling around inside the hiking sock this i suppose acts like tumbling media and makes the brass shiny shiny (bad times behind me)*.

Great, thanks!
Any thoughts on (or experience to suggest) how many cases you could clean in one load? (assume you can control how much space is taken by 'clothes', and assuming rifle cases like 303/308 etc)?
Damn, I just threw a washing machine out that was repairable but occasionally chewed a hole in clothes - that could have been relocated to the cave as a dedicated case processor :(
Double-Damn, The cave even has a hole for a washing machine that needs filling.

The most i've personally stuck in the washing machine (still inside hiking socks though) was 80 cases (20 in each sock),but i think i could go more. However,i did edge on the side of caution and put each sock inside a pocket of a pair of combat trouser and buttoned them up.Purely so they moved in tandem with the dirty clothes and the drum wouldnt get out of balance like they often do when you're washing heavy towels.
Perhaps i ought to approach Dragons Den with my idea. :lol:

Not sure, might have been, but I wasn't there at the start. What target were you on?
There was also a lot of F/TR shooters at 600 in the afternoon; so possible there were other FB members there....
...might have to get a FB cap or something, so that forum members can say hi if they want.

GazMorris(SM), ZeroVees, SteveE and myself were there all weekend shooting the Welsh Open (Gaz shooting excellently, as usual).
Has anyone seen the big news in TR world? GB made the first ever 1200 ex 1200 in an international match over a Kolapore course, as well as taking 1-2-3 in the Governor General's (Canadian Queen's), and the Canadian Grand.

Who do we contact for this again?
I was thinking of a 'tag line' to be added - how about 'TR...the best by far!' ...or would that put people off from saying hi? :P
...also, I'd need a different one for other disciplines...which could get expensive...
