Whats the story behind the aspirin?

The aspirin is only necessary with large cartridges.

It's purpose is to ease recoil headache.

A friend of mine told me he puts a dash of salt in his reloads just before stomping the bullet.......

Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, so I guess the person who recommended it uses it as a mild acid. When I was a kid, my dad would add several aspirin to each cell of a weak battery to give it a bit more life. It worked as long as the battery did not have a bad cell.

Neither common sense, nor common courtesy ............ are very common any more!

I checked and the aspirin has nothing to do with a headache and lots to do with neutralizing the PH of the water when wet tumbling with SS pins. From what I read, you want a neutral PH and most water, especially well water isn't.

There you have it.

OK, I'm convinced now. Got a bottle of aspirin and will try it along with the Lemi-Shine on my next batch. We have fairly hard water here in the valley of the sun. Thanks for the tip there Flip.
