Default Glass Tumbling jar

My glass tumbling jar had a little accident. I need to find a new one.

Since I am going to have to replace it, I have a few questions that would have never come up otherwise.

Is glass a better than any other material?
I am not asure what you call the "glued in wooden lip" in the glass jar that causes the jackets to roll over, but is wood the best material for that? Wouldn't wood absorb the lube?
Should there be 2 of those, or is just 1 better?

hope you have a friend in food industry one gallon pickle jars, wrap with duck tape. as for flipping jackets lowes has clear plastic edge guards 3/4" angle squirt r.t.v. and place inside let dry. I prefer two..p.s glass is better than plastic as plastic seems to hold dirt, but they will work if you can't find glass...

Are you saying just to wrap this ne in duct tape? Or get a new one, and wrap that one in duct tape? I am too scared to keep this one. The thought of glass breaking and ruining a whole bucket of jackets seems very likely.
Can you define r.t.v.?

No that one needs replaced then wrap, r.t.v. = silicone glue from auto parts store

Default Found it

And it was much cheaper than I thought. So guess what the soccer team will have for snacks after the game this weekend?

Yeah - and yaz don't need the ""bumps" at all - just get the jar 3/4Ths full of jackets.
George, those new .224s are, "tearin' it up" , at 500 Yd., out of a new Hawk Hill barrel (7.5" twist) chambered for an 'altered' .22 BR case!
Countin' the days for those 7s - those jackets are talkin' to me!
Thank you for sharing the jacket info, AND, the GREAT dies! RG

Tested both out of bucket and drawn back, per your advice regarding temp and time- the softer version are terrific - ZERO bullet failures, and the first three 5-shot groups, at 500 Yd., all went under 1.5" - the two three-shot groups at 200 Yd. were a .23xx & a .28xx! And all three had four shots @ 1.0" or less, with three of the four 'touching' - I'd label the "fliers" as missed condition!

Have yet to make the "third" version per your advice. The out-of-bucket bullets were somewhat prone to failure - about 8% - but, those that, "made it to the target", shot well. That was a REAL eye-opener!

Still a LOT of testing to complete - the BC (based upon measured drop from 200 to 500 Yd.) seems 'too good to be true' - got me scratching my head; we'll get that figured out, and then some! Tim was launching them (72 Gr.) at 3550 FPS via a Hawk Hill 7.5" twist barrel . . . with his case capacity, this is case-wrecker pressure - he's a velocity freak.

Again, Thank You for the GREAT dies and USEFUL advice! RG
