@@sammycardoso2244 how much pewter I add, all depends on the properties of the lead source I’m working with. Since pewter is about 90% tin, I use it in about the same amounts I would if I were working with a straight source of tin. So whether I’m adding tin or pewter, I always give my alloys at least 5% of it as this will aid in mold fill-out and help prevent wrinkly bullets. But on that note, the BEST thing you can do to prevent wrinkly bullets is keeping a good coat of soot on the inside of your mold using a Bic lighter. But anyways, back to lead alloys: if you have an alloy that already has a decent amount of antimony and is reasonably hard (about 14-15 bhn) such as clip on wheel weights, you shouldn’t need to add more than about 5% pewter/tin. BUT, on the other hand, if you are working with something that you are pretty certain is mostly pure lead and has low antimony and thus low hardness, (such as fishing, weight lead) it could aid you, in bringing up your hardness, by making that alloy about 10% pewter/tin.

Nice video. I too have loaded a bunch of 9mm home cast bullets over Unique. Great combo for medium to full power 9mm ammo. CCI is also my go-to primer. I do prefer powder coating, however. No smoke, zero leading. 1200 rounds of ammo on a single stage! That's a lot of pulls of the handle! I loaded my first 12k or so handgun rounds on a Rock Chucker, but added a progressive press to save a lot of time. More time for dry fire practice and range time.
N.500's are the best primers out there. Ive loaded millions of rounds in my years and the CCI N.500 is by far the most consistent. A close second would be Fiocchi
A good place place to start is a starter kit by RCBS or Hornady. They usually go on sale every Father’s Day and Christmas. Start by getting set up to load your favorite centerfire high powered rifle cartridge such as .308 or 30-06.

I hope this helps and good luck to you. -SLMC🔥
The actual awareness and mentioning the video won't be complete and where to go done in such a cool way got major respect from me! That's actual class right there.
This short makes me happy to see that the art of loading your own ammunition is still alive, grandfather showed me how, still have the press and work bench if he was still alive he would like this video 10 times over.
I think reloading, and learning how to reload correctly, and what to use. Because in today world you never know when your last chanch will be for you to run down to bymart, or where ever one may buy their ammo. Never hurts to start being smart today.
Im pretty sure that bottle of ALOX isn’t supposed to be warped severely in the middle 🤦♂️ also wtf are you doing trying to make a bullet pretty? Lmao you buy the propaganda saying it flies better? 😂🤦♂️
Liquid Alox gets firm when kept in a cool area, so per the instructions, you are supposed to immerse it in a cup of hot water before use so it’s runny as it should be for even distribution. It doesn’t take many times of doing this before the bottle will develop a little pooch, which is never a problem. As for the rest of your incoherent jabbering, I have no response because I honestly couldn’t make any sense out of it. -SLMC🔥
Start using Hodgdon’s CFE-223. It is also for pistols (I load my .38s and .357s and .223s with it) AND it burns much MUCH cleaner than UNIQUE (dirty burnin stuff!) do keep the cci primers and of course… we cast our own. I been reloadin since 15yo and I’m 60yo now. Just check out a pound of CFE-223 and I promise you will love it. (Ya don’t have to use as much either.. if your projectile is a 124grain about 5.5 grains of powder should do ya. But DO check you manual!) happy shooting brother.
@@staggerleesmancave8987 where do you get your primers from. I live in north central florida and the primer is the most elusive creator ever, around here!
Right on 👍🏽 that’s exactly how I do it . Yes 1200 rounds in army can and doing it on single stage with cast bullets. Wash,deprime ,case mouth, prime , set in loading tray Rcbs dropper , Load,plunk test, You end up handling each piece 6 times .. I powder coat then size . my question to you dose the alox stick all the bullets together in can?
FINALLY! Somebody who understands. 🤝 I get so much ribbing from the progressive press guys but this system is soooo much more efficient than they’re giving us credit for. No issues with Alox sticking: I wipe the noses off real quick with a mineral spirits rag after seating. (Because the Alox only needs to be on the back half of the bullet with the lube grooves, which all remains neatly concealed inside the case. ) With my COAL there is one visible lube band/groove above the case mouth but that doesn’t amount to much exposed Alox at all. Like every other step you listed, I do it in batches of 100-200 so it’s more efficient (wipe noses ). I only plunk test every 50th round or so just to make sure my die is still in proper adjustment. 👍 -SLMC🔥
One definate TRUTH, NO SCREWING AROUND when it comes to the powder amount!!!! 1200 rounds, start to finish. I can do it in about an 1:30:00.00 using my Dillon. I could go a lot faster, but getting the first primer tube full takes a couple minutes, and I usually start with at least 6 tunes ready to go.

Using a hand primer for 9mm is insane hats off to you
Thank you for counting. I have 5+ .30 cal cans full and four .50 cal cans nearly full of 9mm. That gives me an idea of where I sit.
The actual awareness and mentioning the video won't be complete and where to go done in such a cool way got major respect from me! That's actual class right there.
This short makes me happy to see that the art of loading your own ammunition is still alive, grandfather showed me how, still have the press and work bench if he was still alive he would like this video 10 times over.
Yes sir 🫡
you got yourself a new subscriber😂❤
Subbed, looking forward to more of this kind of content
This is Eugene, who never lost the urge to make rounds for Negan
Makes me miss the old days with my dad. I hated the smell of the gun cleaner, but it was cool watching him make .22 rounds.
he definitely won’t making 22 lr lol
Bro likes to talk man to man 👊
Its always a sad feeling when ya get back from the range and watch gun videos.. damnit i’m going back out with the .22 for some plinking haha.
3k 22’s fit in a 30 cal can
Given today`s political climate, having reloading skills (and supplies) is a valuable commodity. Thanks for sharing this !
My pleasure! 👊 😎

I think reloading, and learning how to reload correctly, and what to use. Because in today world you never know when your last chanch will be for you to run down to bymart, or where ever one may buy their ammo. Never hurts to start being smart today.
I really did subscribe just because of the knowledge he dropping
Im pretty sure that bottle of ALOX isn’t supposed to be warped severely in the middle 🤦♂️ also wtf are you doing trying to make a bullet pretty? Lmao you buy the propaganda saying it flies better? 😂🤦♂️
Liquid Alox gets firm when kept in a cool area, so per the instructions, you are supposed to immerse it in a cup of hot water before use so it’s runny as it should be for even distribution. It doesn’t take many times of doing this before the bottle will develop a little pooch, which is never a problem. As for the rest of your incoherent jabbering, I have no response because I honestly couldn’t make any sense out of it.

Make the bullets pretty? Heaven forbid a man takes pride in his work
Oh no, a bottle has a bulge in it, whatever will we do 😱
Dudes who have no idea what they're talking about always yap the loudest

Bro is the voice of COD Campaign tutorials back in the day
Damn, glad Billy Bob Thorton found something he's passionate about.
Useful during a zombie outbreak.
One of the only times that I feel like a part 2 was actually needed to properly explain everything
You ask great questions with great answers. PLUS... how to make that Freedom Seed that we all love.
Thank you sir.
this dude sounds like he would advertise a ford f150 to me, good vid big man
I ❤️ my F150 🛻 💨.

This is what I imagined Ron from
"Park and Recreation" does on his weekends! 😂😂😂
i have like only about 5% interest in this topic, but this was a great short. great timing. great images, great voiceover.
Nice. subscribed!
Start using Hodgdon’s CFE-223. It is also for pistols (I load my .38s and .357s and .223s with it) AND it burns much MUCH cleaner than UNIQUE (dirty burnin stuff!) do keep the cci primers and of course… we cast our own. I been reloadin since 15yo and I’m 60yo now. Just check out a pound of CFE-223 and I promise you will love it. (Ya don’t have to use as much either.. if your projectile is a 124grain about 5.5 grains of powder should do ya. But DO check you manual!) happy shooting brother.
I will indeed get myself a pound and try it out!
Thanks very much brother and happy casting/loading/shooting 💨 to you as well! 🇺🇸 💪

@@staggerleesmancave8987 where do you get your primers from. I live in north central florida and the primer is the most elusive creator ever, around here!
Unique and alox. Classic.
Wish Unique would come back on the market
Awesome stuff you make antagonisticly good videos. You get a follow sir
I learned how to craft ammo in New Vegas thanks to this video
Right on 👍🏽 that’s exactly how I do it .
Yes 1200 rounds in army can and doing it on single stage with cast bullets.
Wash,deprime ,case mouth, prime , set in loading tray Rcbs dropper ,
Load,plunk test,
You end up handling each piece 6 times .. I powder coat then size .
my question to you dose the alox stick all the bullets together in can?
FINALLY! Somebody who understands. 🤝
I get so much ribbing from the progressive press guys but this system is soooo much more efficient than they’re giving us credit for.
No issues with Alox sticking: I wipe the noses off real quick with a mineral spirits rag after seating. (Because the Alox only needs to be on the back half of the bullet with the lube grooves, which all remains neatly concealed inside the case. ) With my COAL there is one visible lube band/groove above the case mouth but that doesn’t amount to much exposed Alox at all.
Like every other step you listed, I do it in batches of 100-200 so it’s more efficient (wipe noses ). I only plunk test every 50th round or so just to make sure my die is still in proper adjustment. 👍

147 gr flat point lee mold... 2.3 gr titegroup makes nice subsonic
This guy sounds like the character you play as in cod ww2
I'm glad I subscribed before this vid, but if I didn't, I definitely would've done it now ✊🏿😎
One definate TRUTH, NO SCREWING AROUND when it comes to the powder amount!!!!
1200 rounds, start to finish. I can do it in about an 1:30:00.00 using my Dillon. I could go a lot faster, but getting the first primer tube full takes a couple minutes, and I usually start with at least 6 tunes ready to go.
I knew Reloading would be a cool RUclips video
Average quite kid in America 🦅🦅
FYI gunpowder is hydroscopic, it likes to absorb water so if it's raining keep your powder covered
Its wild to think there's people out there that figured I need a hobby making bullets sounds fine
Hand loading is very relaxing indeed.
I recommend red locktide
