I wasn`t surprised by it. Primers are very powerful. It flat out blew the rice out of the way. Maybe a test with teriyaki sauce in a wet tumbler in the future John? 😁

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

🤣

@terrycostakis6284 3 года назад

My takeaway is that there are probably quite a few things that we obsess over which are not quite as important as we think they are.

@toddscholze6168 Год назад

Like deburring flash holes? If a hole plugged with rice don't affect it much, what's a little burr gonna do?

@mpccenturion 3 года назад

Adding rice to my deer load! LOL - You know - the fact you keep asking the Why's! Leads us to an additional answers! Now for testing in my lab. Thank YOU!

@snakeman48 3 года назад

Interesting test. But remember it was the Chinese that invented gunpowder. A little rice here and there will add to the combustion. LOL

@juliusjames5577 3 года назад

Never underestimate the power of a primer. I’ll seat a foam earplug into a .40 s&w case with just a primer. It comes out with enough power to dent a coke can pretty good.

I also use rice as a tumbling media. I use medium kernel rice to minimize rice in the primer holes. Long Grain will stick all the time. But it still happens with medium, due to breakage of the kernels. The scarier occurrence was to discover that kernels were staying in the case and rounds being fired with a kernel of rice mixed into the powder. I was unloading some rounds and out pops a kernel of rice with the powder. Now I air blow my cases after tumbling. There were more than a couple of stuck kernels inside 50 cases. I'm not sure this is safe to fire rounds with rice kernels mixed in the powder. Also not sure if it's static electricity or dirty/sticky rice.

@Kevin-oe9ps 2 года назад

I watch all yours and Erik’s videos. Love them. Would you be willing to share what rice you use to tumble in. I have tried so many I could supply an oriental restaurant for a year. I googled what you mention in this video(lucky #1 sweet rice) with really no luck. Thanks either way.

@Jeff_Seely Год назад

Un-freaking-believable. I just knew youd get a pack of random squibbers out of that. You need to rename that rifle the rice rocket🤣. I unabashedly admit how wrong I guessed these results.

@ewathoughts8476 3 года назад

Not that surprising. Try seating your primers through very thin paper. Keeps small powder granules from clogging the space between the anvil legs. Old BP trick from the old days. Berdan primers sometimes give better SD/ES numbers due to the small holes. Just a PITA to reload.

@Dwayne7834 3 года назад

Good information and video. Never thought about such happening. Never thought about using rice for tumbling brass. Did the cases show any sign of pressure problems. Thanks for the video

@SD-vr6nv 3 года назад

really interesting,just deprimed berdan .303 and tumbled in corn cob,quite afew had one flashhole blocked so I meticulously checked and cleared with compressed air.did not enter my head to think about ignition consequences.

@pauljessup5818 3 года назад

John, rather than taking the time to visually inspect the flash holes for rice, consider running them thru your Lee App Decapper setup. I would imagine that would be much faster and achieve the same result. No rice in the flash holes.

@rustynut1967 2 года назад

Rice shooting! Rice-Brass John

@tjgrossman 3 года назад

I did this same test with corn cob media in the flash holes about 15 years ago. Was shooting at 600, also did runout tests on the same day. Could not see a difference at that range.

That’s good to know. So opposite of what you’d expect for sure. I was shocked.

@1clnsdime1 3 года назад

I'm at the 3 min mark and my guess is it shoots fine. I think the primer has enough power to blow the price out and fire the round.

@michaeldoyle5001 3 месяца назад

Do you add cut up dryer sheets to the rice?

@papasplace2 3 года назад

Just curious why you don't wet tumble your brass... does a much better job cleaning the brass(including the promer pocket) and a lot less messy/dusty.

@markmeyers4459 3 года назад

Makes you wonder if all the deburring and chamfering of flash holes is worth while

@williamheft2177 3 года назад

Interesting. I use wet tumbling with SS pins. Fired case necks on my 6.5's are just the right size where sometimes pins get wedged in the necks and are a pain to remove. There's always something.

@FClassJohn 3 года назад

Yeah for sure. For your situation you may want to try the ‘football’ style pins. They don’t get stuck in the mouth.

@jumpboots101 3 года назад

@Boomerfootball1 2 года назад

When using rice do you add any type of wax to it and how long you tumble for? Thinking of trying rice out

@FClassJohn 2 года назад

Nope. Just bare rice and go

@madman432000 3 года назад

How about an inverted cone above the flash hole so the flame would have to flare out upon entering the case.

ANY THOUGHTS ON WET TUMBLING THE RICE IN A ROTARY TUMBLER?

@maxcoatlhunter4322 Год назад

What if or why not tumbler first then depriming?

@FClassJohn Год назад

It can go both ways. Some people like pulling the primers first so that the media can clean the pockets. Others leave the primers in and clean the packets later or not at all. Just preference.

Rice hmmm … knowing you there is a very good reason why you don’t use wet tumbling with steel pins. Can you share your personal resin why you don’t like wet tumbling?

@Johnny-jr2lq 3 года назад

He did say in the audio when another guy said “ only you would test rice in the flash hole “ to which John replied “ why wouldn’t you” at that point the other guy said “ because I don’t use rice “ then John replied “ then do it with stainless “ after that they went on to say rice burns stainless don’t stainless pins fused to your barrel. And apparently someone they know had it happened to them. What I gather out of that quick conversation was. One of them missed some stainless pins and it jacked up a expensive barrel. And I can see that happening it makes sense also there barrels can’t be cheap. I have a Krieger m110 barrel for my AR10 and it wasn’t cheap. The barrel and JP bolt combo was 1300 bucks. So could you imagine spending that kind of money just to completely destroy it because you missed a few stainless pins.

Hey John, no one who's anyone cleans their brass anymore. I haven't cleaned my brass for years & I 100% recrystallize my brass & it looks like shit, shoots no different. Cleaning brass is for amateurs. Everyone knows it makes zero difference & is one less shit thing you need to do.
