Speaking of chiggers, for the medical facts of the day, yes, fingernail polish will get rid of the pesty little vermints. 

BTW, chiggers don't bite and run, they burrow under the skin and itch like crazy, the more you scratch, the worse it gets.

Another medical fact to remember.  For the nasty little cuts or breaks in the skin, especially those on the hand, use super glue to seal them up.  No pain, no mess, no infection.  Bythe time you wear it off, problem is healed.

I like Sundowns method of doing clock reloads. I don't know how many folks use cases of different material, but I have noticed over the years many really good shooters do that. They will use a nickle case for the reload and it seems fast. I do the same with a twist. One of my RVs has a free spin installed. I just go backwards a bit ( no clicks with free spins ) and I can do it fairly fast. I shoot a lot of C&B and of course unless I stage a seperate whole gun I need, and it is for safety reasons, to cap all six before even the first shot. I have to change the scenario of the stage and it is legal to do so, so long as there is a frontiersman class, that is. Capping takes time and I personally can't cap a sixth cylinder as fast as I can reload one cartridge, but it has to be that way.
Speaking of top shooters, many and I mean many, of them use brass for rifle and nickle for cartridge. That would be because of different loads and bullet weights. Lot's of folks I have observed go to the trouble and effort of different loads for rifle and revlover in the same caliber. I like BP and I shoot big lube bullets in rifle, but not always in pistols, so I always load my rifle brass with the big lubers in 38 or 45 in brass cartridges and it keeps my stuff seperate.
