You have a nice collection there. Nice set up. Great supply storage, bench, and layout. I enjoy the reloading vids. Always cool to see what others are doing.
It is at a stand still right now. Waiting on a bonus check to get some .223 projectiles and some powder. Other than that got almost all my .40s&w brass polished up in the tumbler. I have a question. How long do you polish your cases in the tumbler and what polish and media do you use. Can you just use media alone w/o the polish? Just picking your brain. Thanks
Great set up you have there but I am about a hundred miles away from being able to do that. Good to have the video for reference though. Thanks. Liked.
Nice setup. My question is regarding primers and the data used to select them. I haven't found any information on this subject but haven't looked real hard either. Other than selecting a primer that fits in the case, what other info do you use to select a primer for any given load? What criteria goes into that decision? I am assuming that primers vary greatly in their design performance and I would like to know how to use those differences to get the desired outcome. I have not ever seen any info or recommendations printed on the box like "use these primers in belted magnum cartridges using powders with a burn rate slower than that of IMR 4350 and bullet weights greater than 160 grains," or some such recommendations. Or maybe, (and I'm not sure) as long as the primer fits in the case and ignites the powder, very little, if any, difference from one primer to the next can be seen. Do primers have any real, measurable effect on the overall cartridge performance? Can a poor selection of primer cause any safety issues (over pressure, or something like that) in the finished cartridges? Ide like to hear your thoughts. Thanks Mike
thats sweet brother. thats what im trying to build just not high end stuff like urs but wow u just motivated me more to get my shit quicker lol. hey dont get rid of ur shotguns shells ill send them to me or ill but them from u
Nice shop!! Thank you soo much for sharing with us. Im retired Navy and have gotten the bug to reload. Im new at all this. I love it. Whats cool is, the people Im getting to know are AWESOME. Maybe one day when I get me a cool shop going like yours, I'll share mine.
very interesting.i started reloading in the late 70's.i was never overly active in it but am currently going to start again.brass i store in a similar way.i try to keep it by brand.my bench is small compared to yours but it's functional.i learned the basics of reloading by reading and speaking to a man over the phone.basically one step at a time and do it safely.no smoking etc.my first reloading kit was $55.today it would be $250-$300.or more.it was RCBS.thanks for the tour.TOM KOSKY.
I'm assuming you use the IMR4895 for the M1 Garand? It's been by far the best powder for cycling auto feed rifles in my opinion. I use it in my Garand and SVT40.
You and I could trade reloading rooms and probably not skip a beat. They are so much alike. I have been reloading since 1978 and have a lot of the same stuff as you. I started out with a Lyman Turret press just like the one on the floor in your room. I traded it off and got the RCBS Rock chucker. Wish I had it back but wouldn't trade the Rock Chucker for it. lol Enjoyed the video.
Nice room!! I am using the dillon 650 and am a beginner, got pistol down pat but trying to get proficient with 223.....We treat our brass like crap, 5 gal buckets! LOL
Pops, As a beginner I would suggest that you start with a Single stage press for about 2-4 years before taking the leap to a progressive press. Learn the steps and get your good reloading habits started. Then go to a progressive press! NEVER The other way around!! If you want precision loading for your 223, single stage it!!! You can't beat it!!! Starting with a progressive press causes you to develop bad habits and not to do your safety checks along the way! Just my take after 40+ years of loading and 20+ years teaching it! Have fun and BE SAFE!
That's an awesome set up you have and very well organized. I use to reload years ago but got out of it because the ammo I shot was cheap. I'M getting back into reloading because of ammo prices going sky high and the fact that some ammo is really hard to find now days. I'm only reloading 9mm and .308 for now. The .308 rounds that I'll be loading are going to be for an FAL STG-58 and a CETME so I want to custom load rounds for them. I mainly shoot military 7.62 x 51 out of them rifles because I've herd some say the commercial .308 ammo can be a little hot for them rifles but I've never had issues with it myself.
I see that you are using cfe223 for your 223/556. What bullets are you using? And what's the load data you are using? I have cfe223 powder and I'm trying to develop a accurate load for my 223/556 rifle. I have 55gr. And 62gr bullets.
Very nice setup with reloading I have been reloading for about 2 years....I store my brass exactly the way u do and it works great P.S get a dillon tumble with all that dillon presses
im brand spanking new to reloading. i purchased a lee single stage kit. getting it all set up. i was wondering what a decent powder would be for 5.56/223 for inexpensive? im using 55 grain bullet.
I know the video is old but any chance on telling me what would be a good press for a beginner. A single stage or a turret press i was looking at the lee brand
noob question here. ive googled and googled but it seems everyone that chimes in on this has a different opinion than the last. so. hopefully yours will help the most. i want to get into reloading. best beginner equipment you know of ? best place to get casings and bullet and powder? if there was a top 10 things all beginners should know, what would it be ?
I will start you off with a list of 5 that I would recommend. Reloading won’t save you money. You will spend just as much money shooting as you did before you started reloading. You will just get to shoot a lot more and become a much better shot. It depends on what you want type of firearm you want to reload for as what is the best kind of equipment to get. High volume shooting handguns get a progressive. I like Dillon! It is hard to spend the money on a reloading set up. Especially when to get set up correctly it will cost as much as another firearm. You will not regret it if you plan on shooting the firearms you already have. You will be able to shoot a lot more! For handguns that you will be shooting a lot you might want to also think about getting into casting bullets. Find a course of wheel weights and you can make a bunch of bullets cheep. Get hard copies of reloading manuals. I try to have a manual from each bullet manufacture that I use their bullets. I have learned a bunch from reading about different cartridges. I suggest the Lyman manual as the first in your collection. It goes into a lot of the process of loading step by step.
Do u load 300 blackout rounds cause I have been trying to find a bullets for it and build a ar15 300 blackout and factory rounds cost anywhere from 80 cents to 1.60 a round
With all the time and effort you put into your equipment, I would have thought you would use a tripod so your video would be watchable. I killed it about a minute in, all that movement will give you a headache and make you motion sick.
I’m fairly new to reloading and am having an issue with my 9mm conversion barrel for my glock 35 I have the lone wolf 40 to 9mm barrel and for some reason I cannot get rounds to fit in it I understand it has tighter tolerance then the glock and also my shield but all my rounds go threw my case gauge fine and still are sticking in the lone wolf It seems no matter how short the round is I have to crimp the hell out of them to make the cycle Any help is appreciated
Great video may I ask were did you get the blue storage bins with the white hanging rack that are on the edge of the bench between your presses ?? Thanks .
I have subscribed. You have a great reloading room. I have a SDB & I'm trying to learn the process for 9mm & .223/5.56. I would like some coaching on a few issues, as long as you do not mind the questions. I love to learn. Would you be willing to share your hand-loading book set up? I need to start a book like that. Thanks for being willing to help.
whenever I reload my .223 rounds i do about .5gn under max load at least for what it says in the book and when i shoot it seems really under powered is that normal?
What do you mean? Not full of powder? If so yes different powder uses less space to do the job. O have 30-06 and 300mag I can shake and hear the powder move.
Is it old powder? What powder are you using. I check my loads with a Chronograph. I don't have that problem. Most of my loads are hotter then factory. Are you loading 223 specs or 5.56 specs ?
Chrono is the best way to find out. Then you would know how must pressure you are building. How is the bullet placement on target down range. Is there a difference between factory and reloads
That Bench Set Up Kicks Butt.... Good Job..
Thanks for watching, More videos coming. Check out my easy giveaway

Wow brother very nice system and set up !
Thanks my friend
The green Sierra book caught my eye. Ive got one like it from the 1970's that was handed down to me. They don't make em like that any more.
I know mine came from my dad.
Nice room you have there.
Thanks Kaz
I'm a reloading rookie. Regarding your setup ... Nice !!!
+Tali Soto Thanks for watching. Some more videos coming soon
Nice setup
Thanks my friend.
that's a great way to store brass mine is plastic bags I think ill use your idea

Nice setup! You can find what you need in a glance. How do you segregate you dirty brass from clean?
I clean my brass before I put it in bins. Range to the tumblers
Nice
Thanks Trees
If you need help finding a home for your extra equipment let me know. Very nice shop/ collection.
Thanks for watching, I will be building a new reloading room soon. I will do another tour
Thanks.
Thanks for watching

Thank you, I am due for another shop tour. I may some more changes.
Mine gets stored in 5 gallon pails with lids, after it is loaded it goes into MTM boxes then the MTM boxes go in surplus metal ammo cans.
500SWMAGOPERATOR Thanks for watching and the info
There are two types of reloads. Those who use Dillon presses and those that will.
answered alot of questions after being out of it for quite awhile it helped with some good ideas thank you
Thanks for watching
TOP-NOTCH! Thank you for sharing Sir!
Thanks for watching
Sweet setup you got there brother
Thank u for answering questions I appreciate it I am kinda new at reloading
Don't be afraid to ever ask. If i can help I will or try to point you in the right direction..
Great setup my friend..Well thought out...
Thanks Brother Kip
Holy cow what a set up. There is a lot of expensive stuff in that room. Congrats on all that fine equipment!
Thanks my friend. Year of collecting
great looking setup man! very well organized.
gunslingerjbk Thanks for watching. Need to do a update video .

Thanks for watching. Building a new gun room soon. alot larger for all my stuff
good luck.i know it will be better then the one you have now.let's see it when you're done.
Wow! I'm jealous! I hope to one day be where you are with reloading. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. It took a while to get their it doesn't happen over night.
I keep all my in old brass in oldcoffee cans!!! SEEM TO WORK OK!!!!
I used coffee can and ziplocs for a long time.
Great video! Awesome set up you have there, Sir.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I will be doing an update on the bench soon
I'm assuming you use the IMR4895 for the M1 Garand? It's been by far the best powder for cycling auto feed rifles in my opinion. I use it in my Garand and SVT40.
I use 4895 for 30-06 and some other loads. Great powder. Thanks for watching.
You and I could trade reloading rooms and probably not skip a beat. They are so much alike. I have been reloading since 1978 and have a lot of the same stuff as you.

Thanks my friend. we need to have coffee someday soon.
Nice room!! I am using the dillon 650 and am a beginner, got pistol down pat but trying to get proficient with 223.....We treat our brass like crap, 5 gal buckets! LOL
Love the dillons, Thanks for watching

i got some ammo brass that i shot of over the summer do want them
Thanks for watching, I will use any brass. Keep them and I when I get north we can have coffee and meet up
ok

Thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it.
small caliber are effective how?22lr. for ar 22 and pistol 25 cal?their effectiveness
Nice! I reload but not as much as in years past.
I still shoot a lot. I don't video every time I shoot or I would be just a gun channel. LOL
I see that you are using cfe223 for your 223/556. What bullets are you using? And what's the load data you are using? I have cfe223 powder and I'm trying to develop a accurate load for my 223/556 rifle. I have 55gr. And 62gr bullets.
I have some load data from hodgdon
I for got.......... How do you like the CFE 223 powder in the 223???? Is it worth changing from H-4198 for it????
I like the CFE223 because of the fine powder measures great for my progressive press. I have never 4198 on 223.
Nice video!!! I would to get in to reloading !! Any tips you could me?? Thqnks for video!!!!
I will be doing another video on how to get started.
Very nice setup with reloading I have been reloading for about 2 years....I store my brass exactly the way u do and it works great
P.S get a dillon tumble with all that dillon presses
Thanks for watching, Dillon makes great products
that´s not a reloading bench - thats a factory ;-)
Thanks for watching. Building a new room soon. then i will do an update video
looking forward to see the expanded factory ;-)
Very cool bud.. I've been at it since early 90's.. Our disaster area's are similar :)
im brand spanking new to reloading. i purchased a lee single stage kit. getting it all set up. i was wondering what a decent powder would be for 5.56/223 for inexpensive? im using 55 grain bullet.
+Pat Ford I like the CFE223 for AR loads. Small grains and easy to get consistent weights
I know the video is old but any chance on telling me what would be a good press for a beginner. A single stage or a turret press i was looking at the lee brand
The single stage green press is a RCBS rock chucker and the turret press is a lyman both great presses
noob question here. ive googled and googled but it seems everyone that chimes in on this has a different opinion than the last. so. hopefully yours will help the most.

Also been trying to reload shotgun but wondering what kind of press to get
I have a couple MEC loaders. I don't reload shot that much. Sorry for the late reply.
Great setup, mine pales in comparison. I do store my brass the same way.
Thanks, thanks for watching.
Do u load 300 blackout rounds cause I have been trying to find a bullets for it and build a ar15 300 blackout and factory rounds cost anywhere from 80 cents to 1.60 a round
No I don't reload 300 blackout. Check out xtremebullets.com/
With all the time and effort you put into your equipment, I would have thought you would use a tripod so your video would be watchable. I killed it about a minute in, all that movement will give you a headache and make you motion sick.
Dale Swanson Thanks for the feedback
Hello. What is your take on the lee classic turret ? Is it a good buy for a new reloader ? Thanks
I like the turret for reloading. You can have a couple set-up and get stuff done faster.
Quite the impressive setup. Are you a bullet-caster as well?
and I thought my setup was nutz...:-) NICE MAN ! I do much the same with my brass we well. nice and tidy!
Thanks for watching. glad you enjoyed it
Wow!

Didn't go through all of the comments, what is your recipe for reloads on the M1 Garand. Always looking to compare others to the one I use. Thanks
Great video may I ask were did you get the blue storage bins with the white hanging rack that are on the edge of the bench between your presses ?? Thanks .
I get the bids from the Menards home improvement store. I have seen them a Lowes and Homedepot. You can also order them from Dillon Precision
Hi looking to get into reloading n i was wondering if you want to sell the lyman press thank you
Thanks for watching. I only have one lyman now. Sorry gave to a buddy
Thank you so much for getting back to me hey better luck next time for me and u have great videos keep up the good work !!!
bradley whittle Thank you.

I have subscribed. You have a great reloading room. I have a SDB & I'm trying to learn the process for 9mm & .223/5.56. I would like some coaching on a few issues, as long as you do not mind the questions. I love to learn. Would you be willing to share your hand-loading book set up? I need to start a book like that.

What do you mean? Not full of powder? If so yes different powder uses less space to do the job. O have 30-06 and 300mag I can shake and hear the powder move.
live4wild no like underpowered compared to factory loads
Is it old powder? What powder are you using. I check my loads with a Chronograph. I don't have that problem. Most of my loads are hotter then factory. Are you loading 223 specs or 5.56 specs ?
223 spec and imr 3031 its about 6 moths old by this point they jsut feel really light when I shoot and I dont have a chrono to test
Chrono is the best way to find out. Then you would know how must pressure you are building. How is the bullet placement on target down range. Is there a difference between factory and reloads
wtf you have so many presses for lol....donate one to me?
