All about cartridge reloading and some wildcating
Frankford Arsenal F1 press review and comparison to RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme
F1 single stage press review and head to head comparison with the rcbs rock chunker supreme.
We test load cartridge runout and shoot some groups with ammo loaded on both presses. Complete loading process from start to finish using my 6mm dasher as the base to determine which press might come out on top. Take everything you see with a grain of salt and come up with your own analysis. Thanks for watching!

Gun room / “safe room” wall penetration test

Here i am performing a little experiment. I have recently finished my new house and am getting the chance to start on my gun room / safe room and I use safe room loosely. I understand the best thing would be concrete but that wasn’t an option or fundable at the time. So here we are enjoy the video.
6.5 Creedmoor Ar-10 load process (start to finish)

Finding a good solid load for my Ar-10 creedmoor with a 24” mcgowen barrel on it. Using 140gr bthp Hornady to duplicate the accuracy I hd when breaking in the barrel with factory ammo.

Checking O.A.L of bullets in your chamber
Просмотров 281Год назад
Checking your over all length of your cartridge with different bullets. If loading different than the load manuals you will want to check to see where the bullets hit the lands at. They are all different and you don’t want to jam them on accident with a high pressure lid catastrophic failure with rapid disassembly can occur. Disclaimer I am not a professional.

Wildcat cartridge basics (my 8 step process)
Made in CHINA!!!!!
Would like to see you build a load like that with 6.5 StaBall. I think there's some bad data in the app. I put some numbers in that I know are pretty mild and show in indications of pressure and the app says I'm way over pressure.
I have a SIG SLH 762 Direct Mount. From what I understand, ECCO can cut the Direct Threat off and make it HUB? It’s what I wish to have done. ECCO can do this?
Yes that is a service he offers as long as his weld on piece is compatible with that suppressor he can do it just drop him an email and he will answer all your questions
I was watching this video again and saw something else that will bump up you performance on the 25-45 Sharps. I run cci 41 primers which are supposed to be a magnum. This has the effect of about 1/2 a grain of powder. Also you can cut some of the ballistic tip off and seat your bullets further out. Just like the boat tail, the ballistic tip has little if any advantage inside 300 yards. Dont be afraid of compresed loads. They are usually more accurate and will give lowes SDs.
I have thought about going with a 6x45... it pretty impressive for what it is....I did pick up some brass an dies for the 6max... look for a new coyote 🔫
Can you do a video on how to make a cartridge? Looks like they don’t have 22arc on there. I’d like to try and develop a load with different powders
I was running into the same problems with not getting the speed that I wanted till I switched to Accurate 2200, 24 grains, Speer hotcor 87g out of my 16” barrel I’m pushing around 2700fps, it’s a great caliber but for sure needs some playing with powders and bullets to find the best combo for your rifle and needs, best of luck
Oh man, do I hear you. My reloading area looks like a tornado hit it. I've been doing a bunch of crimped stuff I've swaged about 3500 cases mechanically! That creates a lot of brass swarf (shavings, chips, etc), I'm constantly brushing them up. I also run a 3d print version of a WFT also on the same press, even more swarf!
your wrong do your home work
Been reloading for 55 years, have owned Lyman, Lee, and Dillon, sold all but my 550 & 650. You've sold me on the F1 for my interest in precision shooting. It's in the mail!
Does the zero stop of the Athlon stop at exactly 0 or can you put it like a couple of clicks below?
It will stop where ever you set the ring. I set the ring to stop .5 tenths under zero
@@theaveragereloader7222 nice, thanks a lot!
Using that tablet is a pure nightmare😂
Do you know anything about the 30 Herret?
If you trim as the first step you probably won't have to chamfer the case mouth after expanding the neck and sizing the outside of the neck after trimming
I've had my 6x45 for years and when loading 75gr I've used mid load for a 223 75gr and went up and it's well below pressure i do like the mongoose just get a little more speed
Well, I don't know about RCBS vs FA. But I will say that the .003 bump did better than the .006 bump did. Unfortunately, the moment that you allowed that to happen, the press comparison ended.
I quit with runout a few yrs ago, it doesn't rhyme with me, good bullets, good powder, good barrels, and good glass in the 45x range so you can see your .125 or .250 movements Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Nice video man. The note inside the box is such a solid tip, I started doing that recently and it helps alot. If I’m moving the stuff from one container to another I write out all the steps that it still needs and they get crossed off, and the note travels with the brass. Easy to think you won’t forget where you were at while you’re doing it until you go back later 😂
100% true
What was the other case you had with your 300 aac when doing your powder dumps?
Poor job, poor video.
Did this load work up ever get proved-up? Hoping to see the ballistic gel testing and final accuracy of 168gr ELDM.
Built a bolt gun in 25 Sharps getting 2868 SD 7fps with 87gr sub MOA at 100 yards.
Old video, I know but just found. I have gad & been shooting this caliber since 2016. I LOAD DOWN from factory as I find factory abusive to brass. I Load 90SGK past 2850 & MOA with Benchmark, 2230 & 2200. AR Comp is not to shabby @ 2800+. ALL sub moa. Six deer with this bullet in 18 & 20" bbls. Hornady makes a 110 FTX thats AWESOME @ 2650fps Im in new England. I see the same kinds of temp swings. Been loading for 50 years. This is not such a big deal.
This is not reloading its another excuse to play on the computer. What a waste of time watching this.
thanks for promoting organization of the bench :)
What is the bolt pattern on the FA F-1 press, from center to center? I was needing to know if i have the room on my mount before ordering this rig. Much appreciated
25-45 Sharps bolt gun here 87gr of Rel 7 getting 2868 fps ES 18 SD 7 sub moa groups.
Would a 25 Grendel void those problems?
100% yes
I have been using a Lee Single Stage Challenger for my bolt action 6.5 and 308 and with a stock Tikka T3 barrel and action I can get .25 moa with no wind. I always wondered if I need to invest into a RCBS or other more modern exp presses, but will I get any benefit out of it? Your test shows that if you use the same dies and loading process you will end up with almost if not identical results.
I have all brands of shellholders and this press prefers Lyman shellholders. I don't know if it's due to Lyman's having a larger diameter than any other brand or not, but that's what I think makes this press prefer them.
Thank you for this information I will order some to see if it helps!
@@theaveragereloader7222 They fit mine tight with no wobble or movement. All the others like RCBS, LEE, Hornady, Redding are basically the same dimensions externally and have wobble. Lyman shell holders are larger in diameter and have less height or at least visually they don't look as tall, but I've never measured them, regardless they're larger in diameter. They'll work with any press, but really shine in my F1... if I recall correctly they wouldn't work with the RCBS hand priming tool though. I'm really liking this press! I'm currently using it with the breechlock system to bulge bust and size bullets and for 12 ga. shotshells. I have large series die sets for brass and plastic/paper shells and this press has excellent clearance to use them.
Don feel bad brother, I just got 1500 pieces into a 15,000 round project of .223 but failed to have an expander ball in my RCBS die so I had to re-lube and resize all of them :-( keep up the good work I am going to buy a set of Hornady dies and an 18" 6mm Mongoose barrel form Mad Dog Weapons this week. I appreciate all that your doing.
loading for a .270 is easy, load 52.5gr of H-414, or Win 760 a CCI-250 primer, and any 130gr bullet, 3000fps, and if it won't shoot sub moa your rifle is defective
He did great work on my 762 SD and M4 2000!
Your right hand is changing runout readings on rcbs test so to be fair 😅
Impressive studio or work shop. I’ve read that your shell holder should be what the die manufacturer is. I’m not as fortunate as you to have so many higher items in my arsenal. One thing I suggest you get is a primer pocket gauge so you can tell what cases are getting sloppy pockets. Like your video as I need a press. I do 6 BR on a Savage action so I can change barrels as I have 3.
Nice .. 👍
Great song, true Americana
What a beauty
That’s beautiful
Oh Yeah
Gearing up for this wildcat. Are you using 223 data for this or 6x45 and working up?
I mainly use 6x45 data to start but if I can’t find any 223 data will work also
First reasonable test on the FA I've run across, being a new press, suspected that would be about the result,. Have to admit, they priced it to sell. Wondering if the ram brgs are replaceable if necc., and how it handles a stuck case ( there are those folk who do that out there, you seem unlikely to do it), as their M press can somewhat self destruct doing that. Who knows on the expander issue there, may just have been something in the shellholder socket. Personally, I like floating shellholders, have two presses with them.
Blue narrow painters tape it the way forward!
The notches in the barrel nut got full of epoxy and that was likely where it was stuck and why that section of bedding broke out. It’s also suggested that some wood be removed and some shallow holes or grooves be cut in the wood to help the epoxy bond to the wood. If it were me I’d cut that all out and re-do the bedding and I’d take the scope and trigger off it does not take much to ruin them.
Second group was only better because you got the jitters out on the first group.
It’s possible I will say conditions sucked as the sun was at my 2 o’clock shining right at me
Either press will make accurate ammo , IMO . It has more to do with the guy pulling the handle and him choosing the right load .
Looking snazy!! Looks like lotsa room on this one! ❤
Wildcatting sure has changed a lot. What is described in this video is just reloading known loads. Wildcatting used to mean doing something that had not been done 10000 times. Loading 6mm PRC isn't any different than loading NATO spec 556. I have been work with 17 cal wildcats for years. Everything from a WSSM length magnum to 17-06. Built from scratch with pretty much no load data. I am not trying to be a dick, but I don't understand why everything under the reloading or handload umbrella get called wildcatting.
So far I’ve loaded for 4 cats that had absolutely no load data had to come up with it on my own. Not everyone has the mentality to load with a wildcat process obviously since you have wildcated that you carry that mentality into all loading process. I would venture to say that 60% or more just look data up and load it. As I do Cary this process into all of my reloading I was just giving a general overview to someone who wants to buy has no idea to go about it.
your bedding too much, bed the lug. the point is for the action and barrel not to move when firing. by bedding the lug you stop all movement. you have clearance on the barrel now seat the lug in glass and that's it.
So that a quick way to imitate the 6.5 tcu.
No idea but if it works then it’s a multi cartridge video I guess. I’ve heard the tcu named but never looked into it.
