Dangerous Brian Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Got the MEC out last friday thinking I would load a quick couple of boxes of shells for the following morning. Wouldn't take long so I could do it on the dining room table and the missus would never know. Just goes to show what happens when you try to rush something. Can't wait till a stray pellet goes up the vacuum cleaner. Need to find my ear defenders out ready for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo33 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yup, done that. Once tipping the bottles back and forgetting to put the cap on the shot bottle, the second time, I had remembered the top, but it popped off under the weight of shot.....you're not alone How are the crimps coming out now Brian?

Guest cookoff013 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 tights, vacuum cleaner time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwizard Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I did same thing and got the hoover out - Vax upright cleaner , shot went in but disturbed internal filter ended up having to strip the cleaner as it lost most of the suction !

Lord Geordie Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 You need an OLD decent suction bagged vacume cleaner! Then use the crevice tool to concentrate the suction power! Should work spot on. Expecially when you need to vacume Powder spillage! Bagged vacumes stop the powder getting into the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimps are coming along fine now thanks. I have just about finished up my bag of brand new cases so will see what the mod is like on once fired ones. or simply do it in the man cave (shed) and make as much mess as you like I would do it in the man cave but there are too many projects on in there at the mo, so very little bench space. Just need to be a bit more careful next time (or get off my backside and clean the garage out). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerous Brian Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just don't suck up a live primer! Luckily just pellets as my primers are all fed in singly. It was a horrible feeling as I watched the bag of shot slip out of the funnel. With both hands holding the bag all I could do was watch and imagine the fun I was about to have picking them all up.
