    Do you have to measure for headspace when reloading for semi-auto ar15?

  • @lmbear
    @lmbear День назад

    I love the first suggestion: Put a Hornady lock ring on a RCBS die. Exactly right!!!! One thing I'll say in regards to tightening the lock ring down, once you tighten it in the press, unscrew the die, and then finish tightening that lock ring. When they are in the press, sometimes you can't tighten it all the way. That way, it never moves!! 2. Wrong way to adjust the seater die. Always use a piece of properly sized brass: Run the ram up, screw the die down, until it lightly touches the brass case, then back it off an 1/8th to 1/4 turn. Then tighten the lock ring. This is generally where you get the least runout on the loaded round too, which is very necessary in developing accurate/precise loads. Setting up your die set is a one time thing. Once set, you never have to worry about them again. The only time you will adjust the seater, is when you switch bullets. But then you are only going to loosen the seater stem, and move it up or down, depending on where you want the OAL of the loaded round. 3. Your press is wobbling all over the place. To make good consistent ammo, you want that press as rigid as possible. Don't just mount it on a flimsy table!!!! Good video, otherwise..

    • @k2defense
      @k2defense День назад

      @lmbear - I’m working with RCBS to see if they can do something different with their locking ring. Your suggestion on #2. You are correct if you don’t want to apply a crimp. You can stop at that point and lock it down for good. However, if you want to do seat and crimp together you need to adjust like in the video. I just don’t want the viewer to be confused by your comment. But you are spot on if you only want to seat the projectile. Appreciate your comments! 👍🏻

    I run a Lee Perfect Powder Measure, regardless of AA#9, Titegroup, I find running some gunpowder thru it ten times or so helps to make the drops way more consistent. Not running powder thru the measure makes .1 grain inconsistencies consistently. Not a problem with light plinking loads, but working with near max loads that will make a hell of a difference between near max, max, and over pressure loads.

    Is it necessary to use the pocket uniformer after taking out the crimp?

    • @k2defense
      @k2defense 12 дней назад

      @Deadleg1-502 - I have found that if you take the time to remove the crimp, you might as well clean up the primer pocket. Having a clean uniformed primer pocket and flash hole allows the primer to detonate and ignite the powder without restriction. Hope this answers your question! 👍🏻

    • @Deadleg1-502
      @Deadleg1-502 12 дней назад

      @ it does answer it mostly. And I agree with taking the time while I’m at it. But, I’m still in my research phase of learning reloading, most of all my saved brass is 5.56. Just starting out, is it absolutely necessary for bulk storage ammo and plinking on steel? Knowing me, I’ll likely go ahead and uniform the pocket, but, could skip that and not have reliability issues? And thank you for taking the time to help me.

    • @k2defense
      @k2defense 2 дня назад

      @Deadleg1-502 - here’s what I noticed in my journey of reloading. My process is always evolving. I’m at the point in my reloading journey that I’m doing micro adjustments to the way I reload. Meaning, I have a system in place that makes sense to me. I have labeled containers that I use to keep my brass in so I know where I left off. I don’t always have a full day to sit down and reload. Sometimes it’s just turning on the tumbler. For the first couple of years I had a white board to help me keep track of things. You need to figure out what works for you. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

    Interesting, the VihtaVuori website shows that their min charge for a 123 grains bullet using N120 is 23.6 grains and max one 26.5 grains, it's the one that I'm using and they average ~2406 FPS from my rifle with no sign of over-pressure. Maybe Hornady is being very conservative?

    • @k2defense

    Hello there - I found out I have a Franklin Arsenal tumbler with media, polish, etc., that came with my Dillon 550C. In your professional opinion, how many times can you / do you re-use media before tossing it away? Appreciate you putting this together. It is helpful, you got another sub! I see below the question was asked previously below, in case someone asks after me. Great question/answer below. Very collaborative forum.

    • @k2defense
      @k2defense Месяц назад

      @theociba3762 - I use my media until it turns blackish or it takes a long time to just knock off the particulates. I fall victim to the shiny brass syndrome even though shiny brass doesn’t make the projectiles go faster. 😂 you can “recharge” your media with Nu Finish car polish or any of the media recharges you find at your local store or online. I also use, used dryer sheets to help remove some of the grime out of the media as well. My father-in-law uses the same media basically all year long. Some folks use lizard bedding, rice, etc. the main take away is that you want your brass free from debris and not have any chemicals on it that can corrode it. If you need shiny brass, you’ll need to replace and/or recharge your media frequently. Dry sheets are optional but in my opinion help with reduction of particulates. I’ve had others email me saying that the comment section is a great place to share info so I encourage people to ask questions and reply and reply back to others with their experience. I certainly do not know everything and have learned many new ways of doing things by interacting with all the viewers. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

    • @k2defense
      @k2defense Месяц назад

      @johnmontana8540 - I go through a lot of .223/5.56 so I have what I call an assembly line. I use big containers and label them, clean, cleaned and resized, cleaned resized ready to reload, etc. it’s a great system if I have an hour or so I can grab the “ready to be primed” container and hand prime them while watching tv or what have you. I usually have a couple of five gallon buckets full that always need cleaning so I just dump them in when I know I’ll be around a few hours and keep an eye on them. I’ve always have something going on in the background keeping me busy. Personal organization is not something I typically try to teach others since everyone has their own method of madness. I have a system that works for me that I’m continually improving to save time, energy, and money (if possible). I really should make a video of how I do it. I just figure people figure out their own way with the space they have. Great question! 👍🏻

Perhaps you can explain to the viewers why my OAL is exactly the same and you suggest that it will be all over the place? I’m sure the viewers would LOVE to know what you’re doing differently. I’m guessing what you’re referring to is the CBOT and not the OAL? I don’t want to assume anything but your post is a bit confusing. Thanks for your expert opinion! 👍🏻
