Hornady Concentricity and Frankford Arsenal bullet seating die test!
Here I test some of my handloads and factory loads for concentricity. I use a Hornady tool to test. My handloads have tighter tolerances than many factory loads because i use the Frankfrod Arsenal tool to seat my bullets. I find this very important to produce good loads. Even though I use my bullets for hunting, I still like perfection of what ever I do. I tested some 300 of my own handlods and found 6 bullets that were up to 5 th out of concentricity while all others were under 3 th. Factory loads vary between 4 and 16 th and consistently between 4 and 10 th. Maybe I was unlucky, but i do think the FA seating die is a much more accurate and consistent seating method than seating using yo...

Frankford Arsenal bullet seating die
Просмотров 5392 года назад
I use the FA die to seat 7mm Rem Mag with 150 gr Nosler Partition, and 140 gr Nosler Balistic silvertip bullets. The 140 grain has a different ogive setting. With this FA seating die, the adjustment took couple seconds to get to the right setting. This die is simple to use on all calibers and all bullet types. I find it easy to set up, for my .223, .243, .270 and the 7mm rem mag. Any rifle, any...
Powder measuring fast and accurate, on automatic or manual, best of all inexpensive!

I prepared my electronic powder measure to measure out 13 bullets at 3 different measures. Once set up, which only takes a few minutes, fast and accurate dispensing. I ran the powder calculation on the powder I am using, and after that the tricler works to perfection to give a accurate measure. Very happy with this make and model, especially at the price compared to other untis on the market!

Here I demonstrate the differences in ogive distance to rifling, ie., the jump with factory loads and my own loads using simple tools to determine where I want to place my bullets in relation to my rifling. I am using my Sako 85 in 7mm rem mag! I use Nosler 150 gr partition and 140gr Nosler balistic tip. Both bullets seat at different ogive settings, I also compare Norma 150 gr, and 2 Federal 1...

While driving back to Salt Lake City, i was caught in a storm and winds between 40-60 miles per hour on Nov. 11th, 2020. Crawling along the I-80 freeway 20 miles out of Evanston, I noticed the multitude of wind mills (cost of each around U$200 K. On this windy day, most were not spinning and generating, but they did spoil the nature and look ugly, high and dead still! If you believe in wind ene...
CZ .22 lr using 1435 f/s 40 gr at the indoor range 100 yards

Nothing to do, went to TNT gun range in Salt Lake City to fire a few shots in my new CZ-455 .22 lr . I had fired around 150 rounds so far testing different bullets, but i felt i could do much better than groups around 2" for 10 shots. I know the rifle is capable of doing much better. My scope is a Nikon 3-9 x 40 Prostaff, not the ideal for shooting 1 MOA. I thought I knew everything, having ove...

Rest in peace Tom
Hey brother, very logical, practical presentation, your style is appreciated deep in the South of Tasmania, Australia mate. Do forward me
Rest in peace Tom you absolute legend.
I thought it would be nice to just let Tom’s subscribers know that Tom passed away unexpectedly Christmas Eve 2022. He had so much more to share with the world. He will be sorely missed.
Rest in peace Tom. Fellow pc emp and he had a huge impact here.
Rip Tom. Loved his browning .22 video
When you state the price per round. I hope that you have a stockpile of Primers, powder and brass. Bullets seem to be more readily available. If not, you're gonna be severely disappointed in the readily available supplies. I am a hunter and Long range shooter. I got caught with my trousers down, in the last scare....(Obama) I couldn't get powder or primers.....I made sure that would NEVER happen again. Great video and long live the Handloader.....!
This is a very good video thank you
Very commendable view of the hunt! I like that!
Great job explaining the technique..
Very good information on seating to ogive. I would like to get a copy of your Excel sheet to use, Thanks
I would love to get a pdf for the spread sheet to print out. Tnx for the videos.
I'd like to have your data sheets thanks
I'd like to have your exell data sheets if I could can't see an email for you thank you
Wish you lived in the kentucky area, would like to go target shooting with you!
G'day mate, I would love hear some hunting stories of your 22 Hornet days. I hand load for the Hornet here in the UK, lots of rabbits and foxes here and little deer like the Muntjac. For bigger deer the legal calibre is .243 but this might change with the lead ban. I can get a 40 gn hornaday v-max to 3240 fps from my 20" barrel hornet using Remmington cases with 14.5 gn of Lil'gun powder. Please do a video about your experiences shooting the Hornet back in the day. Cheers.
OK, ill do a video on the hornet and skinning foxes in under 3 minutes!
Yo those wood casing holders look cool!
I like the way you weighed twice to be sure. I also love the die you're using, i have the die set and use for my 270 win.
Great video sir. I have been sitting on the fence with my reloads on whether I should measure the ogive using an OAL gauge, but I'm not sure if it is necessary for hunting accuracy. I have a comparator so that I can at least consistently seat at each reload, but I was wondering whether it's worth the extra tool for something that I might not use all that often. I also don't chronograph my reloads, rather I note down what I'm doing, what I've changed, then go and test shoot them at the range. Might be worth noting that Hornady do have a drill and tap kit for about $25. That would be a economic way of handling your initial setup for multiple calibers I would think. Anyway, a great watch. Thank you 😀
Sean, It probably is not for a guy with one rifle who just occasionally hunts with it - but he will buy ammo off the shelf anyways. Once you step up to reloading you open a door to a larger world, and you haven't quite seen it yet. SAAMI makes specs for cartridges so they fit in everybody's rifle, which means, no two chambers are alike. I am not making bullets back to SAAMI spec (I did that 40 years ago); I am custom making bullets for my hunting rifle with its unique chamber and bore. And yes, it is most definitely worth it for hunting too. The handloading books that you buy today are the same as they were 40+ years ago, and all of them teach you to load back to SAAMI specs. By applying some of what precision rifle shooter do in their reloading processes can make a rifle off the shelf shoot a whole lot better than most people think it will. Having said all that, each different bullet type you load will jam in the bore differently, so you will use it more than you are thinking. If you don't know where Jam is, and then set a jump, that comparator is not giving you a number that has any real meaning. Jump is a very import number to know; sure, it is probably going to land somewhere between .020 and .040 thousands, but if that rifle likes say, .028 or .031 thousands - that is the number you want to seat that bullet to every time. This is where the comparator comes in, but it starts by knowing where Jam is. You spent time and money at this point and are probably at where I was 40 years ago. Had I sat down with some of the bench rest shooters and asked questions about my reloading, I would have been ridiculed profusely about what I was doing. Being safe and cautious is important always, and today the information is out there on the internet if you weed through it with your growing knowledge and experience. I have never owned or used a chronograph, and never recall needing to go to a max load in a reloading data book to get where I needed to go with any rifle load for hunting. If I got a 'warmer load' in the shoulder than a factory load, I never saw any advantage to go there; they never shot any better, only hotter.
Hi Tom, thank you for some useful information. I gather you once lived in Australia but you mentioned Salt Lake City and White Tail Deer so assume you moved the US at some point? Hope to see more from you in the future. Regards from Adelaide.
I hope to retun back soon and keep on hunting sambar, my favorite!
Thanks for the video. If I was going through all the precision effort to calculate and seat via OGIVE, I would definitely trickle exact powder weight.
Tom, I have come to the same conclusions about hunting loads and what I did in the past some 40 years ago; it is nice to have the tools to measure bullet jump and shoulder bump when sizing our cases. I have also learned the value of annealing for casing life and bullet seating consistency. I was missing a lot back 40 years ago.
Likeways, 50 years ago when I started with my first rifle a .222 and i used 55 Nosler Partion for all my hunting, goat, pigs, even deer. Then Australia passed the law min .270 and min 130 gr bullets. So I stepped up to a .270 for deer. Hunting foxes professionally I used a Tikka .17, then swapped for a Anschuts .22 Hornet using 40 gr soft Speer bullet. How everything has changed. Now i use a .270 and a 7mm rem mag. Love both callibers. Have a .223 24" H barel on the way!
Nice, love handmade stuff
GREAT VIDEO!! Old Man!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Tom. Makes me want to measure the ogive on my 6.5 Swede. 🤠👍
Those are some nice looking cherry reloading blocks! Clever idea.
I have that seater also . I really like it .
I reload different bullet weights for the same rifle, so getting the correct seating is important to me! Thanks for watching! I reload 4 different calibers and some i use 3 bullet weights. This is the best seating system I know of and why i did this video!

@@BlueTJay thank you
Can it crimp if you want one?
No! Thanks for watching, sorry for the late reply!
I want to learn how to do it
The instructions are simple and included with the kit. But, if you have some idea how to re-load and seat the bullets, this is the next step in learning to get more accuracy in your reloading and eventually accuracy at the range! Thanks for watching!~
Nice and organized! Good job.
Glad you liked it! A reloading bench does not need to be pretty, but needs to be heavy especially when resizing the bigger calibers, such as .270 and up to larger sizes. Shelves above the bench are a must to store components and the many tools i have!
Wow that was a lot of times through the barrel!
Looks good, real good.
Hi Tom can you contact me on skype Jack
Oh so you can reuse the shell casings ! Cool. How many times can you use the casings?
Dude that’s awesome. Is it cheeper to together your own shells?
No, but if you want to shoot precisely, you will have to load your own.
You even look like you know what you are doing there Tom😂🤣. Nice work👍👍. That little pistol there has always had my interest. I hope you are well mate.
Took you long enough but you finally got a good grouping.
That's pretty good Tom. Can you do it while eating a Subway sandwich
Without removing the grips you can't call this a dismantle :)
In the military the grips are never serviced. The idea of the 1911 was to be able to be serviced in the dark without any tools out in the field. To remove the grips and the trigger required tools. That was done on a bench indoors. But, thanks for offering your opinion!
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Tom nice Gun, I had a Colt 1911 45, very nice, Take care, my friend
Wow very nice this Shoes was made a year before I was born.
