1st 75th Ranger

Добавлен 13 май 2020
I'm an old school Army Ranger, retired law enforcement officer with 20 years on a SWAT team in South Florida and I performed security as a member of the guard force for US diplomats at US Embassy Kabul Afghanistan. I was a firearms instructor in the use of handguns, shotguns, rifles and submachine guns. I`m a shooter and have competed as well. I reloaded my own ammo to become a better shot and increase my knowledge in the shooting sports. My desire is to pass some of that knowledge on to future shooting enthusiasts.

Start to finish reloading of mixed range brass in 45 Auto. Cases were cleaned and polished in Lyman Turbo 1200 case polisher prior to loading. Prior to loading any ammunition, you should have your dies adjusted to manufacturer's specifications and your powder measure set to drop the recommended amount of powder for the load you've selected.

Discussion of using mounting plates and or stands to increase the strength of your bench by the added benefit of spreading force across a larger area. If you wish to learn the area your press is applying force to the bench, I’m posting a link in the comments to an area calculator to assist with the math.
Review of Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo Tumbler.
Просмотров 12 тыс.4 года назад
Today we review the Lyman Pro 1200 Turbo Tumbler that’s fresh out of the box, using your standard Lyman treated corncob media. We’ll be adding Jet stainless steel shot, that is used to polish jewelry for an extra measure of cleaning capability. 100 45ACP range brass in average condition were cleaned using this combination.
New reloading bench setup and tour.

After over 15 years away from the bench, I’m back at it. A motivational tour of my bench featuring all Lyman products. Descriptions and links of everything you see will be provided in the comments
I was watching a bunch of videos on how to mount an rcbs rock chucker on my work bench and just saw that you have the exact same work bench I have!
I have an old Lyman Spar T press and need to mount it. I have a Lee Turret Classic press with mounting plate kit. I want to use the Lyman press mainly for depriming pistol cases on range brass. I wonder if the Lee system will accept the Lyman press? I hate to drill more holes for the Lyman press.
I really wouldn’t know the answer that until I took the press in question and try Ed to pre fit it, IE see if it lines up with a bolt pattern on the plate you want to use.
I was curious as to how you mounted the riser to your workbench. I’m assuming you picked a spot and drilled a hole and screwed some bolts in. I’m just getting into reloading and was looking into a husky wood top bench and a riser. There’s no real info i can find on how other reloaders mounted their setup from essential start to finish. I don’t want to take the chance and ruin the wood top when i eventually buy everything. Any info would be fantastic!
Partner, I’m so sorry I’m just getting to this and I hope you’ve successfully mounted your press by now to your satisfaction. I will answer your question now though in case others are curious as well. I selected a spot on the end and you can see so as not to interfere with opening and closing the front drawer. I made sure the bolt pattern was far enough away from the edge, so plenty of wood was around the bolt so as not to fracture/splinter. I also made sure the ram of the press would clear the edge of the bench as well. I then took the recommended drill bit and using an electric hand drill, I drilled the four holes that I marked using the stand as a template. I secured it using the bolts recommended, making sure the length was correct to clear the drawer, yet provided a good bite for the nuts and washers I used to complete securing the stand. I took some black fingernail polish my wife had and painted the top of the bolts gloss black and it dried with zero brush strokes in it. It looks good.
Right On! Hooahsemperfi!
does it still work today
Yes it does, I’m not reloading as much lately because components are so scarce but the addition of the stainless steel shot still works quite well. You have to refresh the corncob media periodically to keep the best possible results.
Sadly, as I discovered last night, increasing the height also increases the leverage... Literally ripped my Husky tool cart's wood top in half doing a FLR on some 45-70 last night to test out my new inline fab mount hahaha!
Ouch! My bench top is made of birch. It doesn't flex in the slightest nor does the press move. Maybe the top was compromised in some way before you mounted your inline fabrication mount,,,,, hate to hear you bench broke like that.
Lol 😅
@@1st75thranger5 late to the party (missed notification) but I put a piece of 3/4" plywood on top and ran bolts through. No more flex :)
@@reddawng43x91 see above!
Greetings from fort Hood Killeen, brother! Thank you for your videos. You learn a lot over the years of hand loading and it looks like we've learned similar practices. Thank you for your service in the Rangers and your commitment to law enforcement! Peace is definitely the better option 😁. Keeping calm with the objective to neutralize oppositional deadly force is what we are after, if placed in that situation. I pray to God I am never placed in situations I spent a life of preparing for. God bless you!
Appreciate the comment. Drive on and stay safe out there.
My reloading bench is way too close to our quiet area of house . This unit needs to be far away from anyones bedroom . Maybe some sound suppression with cardboard !!!!
I just turn up the TV :^)
3 square inches ??????????????????????????????????????????
The bolt pattern of the press is approx 3 square inches. Actually, it’s just over that by about 1/10th of an inch. The base of the press is larger of course
@@1st75thranger5 ahhhh understood :) and the bolt pattern of the stand ???
I believe I state in the video it’s approx 73 square inches.
Airborne! I served 10 years in the 82nd and I earned Master Parachutes wings. Back in the day my room mate was my Artillery Battery's Armor. He was also a certified Gunsmith and his family owned a gun store in Blackfoot. Idaho. One weekend I helped him reload 1,000 357 rounds in our barracks room. We both could have done time at Leavenworth for that. When I discharged his Smith & Wesson 44 Mag in our room while waiting for a Bn TA50 layout inspection I was sure we would both pay serious UCMJ charges. The worst that happened is that he nicked named me Quick-Draw and the few who were in on the story took great delight calling me that in-front of people who would have charged us and locked us away it they knew the story. That's a long story and not so great a memory, but one I will never forget. My Question. After more than 20 years being retired from the Army and now retired from corporate America, I'm shooting again. Availability and cost of ammo is obscene. My questions are: Do you save any money reloading? Do you have difficulty finding, primers, powder, and bullets for 45ACP & 5.56?
There is some savings once you have all the gear to load ammo. Components are more scarce now and more expensive as well. Primers are the rarest component at the moment. 4 times as expensive as they were before this virus mess. You have to search every day online and get on notification lists. Once notified strike fast.
New sub, enjoyed the video!
Welcome aboard.
What's going on hooha?
I really like that bench! Is that a prefabricated model? If so what brand and where did you purchase it? Thank you
It is a prefab and it went together easily. Sturdy too. You can locate one here, www.sevilleclassics.com/uhd-workcenters.html
@@1st75thranger5 awesome! Thank ya
Funny how we all have a different way of this process but the outcome is the final product. TY Good Plinking.
I have a similar idea for my press. Im fabricating a plate to go under the bench top that mounts to the frame and the press bolts through the top into
Enjoyed watching your process. Reloading for me is what I refer to as old man knitting. Salute brother!
1st 75th Ranger I do enjoy the tinkering part of reloading. 'Preciate your comments. Drive on!

Soo awesome thanks.
You really like Lyman.
Tnx! Will try it as well!
First, thank you for your LEO service! You are spot on. I didn't go with the pre-fab Inline Fabrication, but made my own using mdf base and hardwood riser. Rock solid with any press. My bench is two 3/4" layers laminated together with bottom being mdf and top being furniture grade oak plywood. Base structure is 4x4 legs and 1x3 honeycomb that is Kreg screwed to the top. Each of my base plates are 10"x11" with riser 0f 5" out of solid hardwood. I drilled parallel holes along the top in two rows and inserted brass inserts. Each plate is then secured with knobbed bolts. Quick to change and incredibly rigid due to the geometric principles you described.

Can you reuse the corncob media multiple times? Thanks for the video!!
Yes you can, but it does have a lifespan. You can extend it with additional polishing agent. Follow the instructions of the media you use and you should experience good results. I always was curious of the use of stainless steel as a supplement to the corncob in a dry tumbler and it did improve the performance in my opinion.
@@1st75thranger5 thanks man!!
Great job!
I have the same 1200 Turbo Tumbler. I use corn cob media with a little bit of Ultra Shine car polish. All it takes is about 1 hour and my 44 magnum brass comes out super clean inside and out, also polished so nice it looks like brand new brass.
Love my 1200, I use lizard litter-ground walnut cheaper and easier to find with Turtle Wax chrome polish and rust remover, then run ground corn cob to shine like new, 45 Colt cases get pretty smoky with cowboy loads. Then use a wire mesh wastebasket to seperate, fast and effectively separates.
1st 75th Ranger Increasing the area your press applies force to the bench makes it stronger without re-engineering the bench. Here’s a link to an area calculator to assist you in learning how much area you’re applying force. www.calculator.net/area-calculator.html?triedge1=2.5&triedge1unit=inches&triedge2=2.5&triedge2unit=inches&triedge3=3.25&triedge3unit=inches&calctype=triangle&x=42&y=19#triangle
Another excellent video brah!!!
First I've heard of using stainless for dry tumbling, but these results look good, particularly inside the cases.
Damn it man that is a great looking table
I had this bench planned in my head for quite a while. I wanted something that was sturdy, yet could be moved about if need be. I wanted a clean, efficient work space that would be free of clutter. I think I accomplished my mission.
What is the capacity to the amount of media you put in to the amount of brass?
The manual for this tumbler suggests 2lbs corncob media to 100 spent cases. I added 1 lb. of Jets stainless steel polishing media for extra cleaning capability. My hope was to reduce cleaning time and get at the inside of the cases a little more.
Is the clean brass for performance or appearance
Polishing the spent cases can aid in the reloading process. The residue on the cases from the cleaning media can act like a dry lubricant which eases insertion into your various reloading dies. Heavily contaminated cases can cause feeding failures in firearms if not removed. And finally, who doesn't like the appearance of carefully loaded ammunition with a polished sheen, ready to be loaded into a fine firearm? Pride in your work is a good thing
Here’s the link to the stainless steel polishing medium I used in tandem with the Lyman treated corncob. jetsinc.com/polishing-and-finishing/tumblers-and-media/mixed-stainless-steel-shot-1-pound/

All the way!
