Update on scale... since I did this video my scale has quit working. I will say though, it was inexpensive and worked for over a year before it quit. It worked very well in that time also.

I used to use a sonic cleaner. Now after I soak my brass in distilled water and grape kool aid mixed to double strength. I let it soak for18 hours. Rinse with water. Dry on a towel. Then use my air compressor. Stick blow gun in primer pocket. Blows out the primer pocket and inside of case. I then dump the brass in to my tumbler. (Kool aid softens the carbon so it comes clean easier tumbling in walnut media.) I use a small cap full of Nufinsh car wax media. And four one inch diameter pieces of used dryer sheets. They collect dust. The brass comes out as bright as gold. The wax also give a protective finish so you can touch the brass with your bare hands and no corrosion occurs. I even store prepped brass in my garage and it stays bright for months and months.
Great reloading tips. Keep thumping them groundhogs.
Thank you! Handloading definitely helps us extend the range on the groundhogs. We love the ghogging!!!
Thanks man great intell. I use the cheap Lee single. with there universal decapper for all my stuff. 👍
I’m sure that is a good one also. The main thing is deprime and clean before having to run through a die. Makes the process go much more smoothly I believe. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and share this info.
@Pat C Thank you for watching! I hope it was helpful.
That's a really good video!
@Roger Snell Thank you! I hope it was helpful.
Hand deprimer = lame
Why don’t you do a video about what happens when you reload a rifle round and tumbling media remains/lodged in the brass. How it effects pressure, accuracy, and how likely it is to blow up the gun. You make awesome videos and I'm most grateful for all the work you do.
@baugwan1 Thank you! That would be a great topic but I have no experience there. I do not use a timber or any type of media for brass cleaning. Only use an ultrasonic.
Why don’t you inspect and clean the hole out? It’s like wiping your butt after you poop. One rash from lack of and you have learned your lesson.
Really good video, but, and I hate to be that guy... plastic calipers? really... everything else was so good, but plastic calipers do not contribute to precision.
@Gabriel Ruiz I'm banging steel at a mile and killing animals at 900+ so they seem to be doing just fine. Check out my long range playlist for footage of all that.
I don't think 100th a grain is going to change anything
@user-gb8gg6ho4q Depends on the range you are interested in shooting. I absolutely know that it makes a difference from at least 800 yards and further. If you are interested in MOA, preferably sub MOA groups, then handloading is about controlling all things you can control. Each individual variable compounds and at those ranges, little things make huge differences. A 100th of a grain difference high on a load, seating depth a few thousandths too deep, inadequate cleaning leading to slightly decreased case capacity, a bullet a grain heavier than the others, and a primer seated too deep... that round will be a miss at those extended ranges. ANY long range shooter that I have competed with or shot with on the range is more than obsessed with consistent sub MOA impacts at 800 and beyond. I have yet to meet one, myself included, that does not pay attention to every variable I just mentioned.
This video is hilarious. 😅 thank you! You use a sonic cleaner to ensure the case volume is consistent. That's the dumbest thing I've heard in 40 years of handloading and you can't prove that it's beneficial. I do use two sonic cleaners. As far as drying, forget the food dehydrator. Press a rubber-tipped blow gun on an air hose into the mouth and the water is forced out the flash hole, then wave the blow gun across the primer pocket to get the last half a drop. Then it's ready for the dry corncob for a polish you can see your reflection in. Bullet ogive length can also vary a few thou. Maybe if you used a Redding Instant Indicator instead of a plastic caliper you would know that. Weighing powder to the second decimal point is time better spent with the kids. I'll give this vid a like for the entertainment value, not for the information presented. 😅
@luvtahandload7692
I’m slapping steel at a mile and killing game at 900 plus so my loading does me just fine. Thanks for helping the algorithm!
@@HuntShootLive sorry about the killing game @ 900 plus thing. Have you tried moccasins?
@@luvtahandload7692 I do like to bow hunt but I’ve not done it in moccasins.
Pro tips for beginners but you're pushing a lot of higher end precision items which is most likely scaring beginners away. The items your demonstrating are not beginner level. I've been reloading since the 70s. When I help newbies I don't take the same approach. I encourage them to Invest their time into improving the consistency of their technique. The 1000 yard reloading techniques and tools are much further down the road. A newbie confronted with the idea of spending thousands of dollars to load hundreds of dollars of ammunition will keep them buying retail ammo forever. Don't get me wrong. Your techniques are fine...the choice of reloading equipment behind you is beginner-casual level for the level you are bragging about. Proof that lower priced gear is quality enough for most reloading. I decap, trim and size 5.56 rem using the pro1000 and a Dillon trimmer after tumble cleaning. Then I clean again to remove the lube. I can run 1000 cases in a few hours. So simple.
@moushunter I don't really understand your comment. You state I'm pushing high end knowledge that is expensive then later state my equipment is beginner casual. You are disagreeing with me while proving my point. I'm sharing great knowledge that is so super simple that will help shooters easily prepare for engaging very long range targets. Yes, none of the equipment I listed is expensive... that is why I made the video. $30 scale, $25 ogive tool, $30 dehydrator, $30 ultrasonic, $30 deprimer. All super affordable and give me accuracy to engage targets at a mile and kill game at 900+ yards (see my long range playlist for those videos). If you are not interested in shooting 1300+ then factory match ammo is more than sufficient now. I have a lot of friends who are shooting hornady match out to 1300 with zero problems. No hand loading needed. So if the stress of knowing the inexpensive tools to improve handloading is too much, no worries... just shoot good affordable match ammo and problem solved.
@@HuntShootLive I'm just sharing 40+ years of reloading experience and 20 + years training dozens of reloaders one on one. What I'm getting to is people starting reloading need to learn basics and build confidence in what they are doing. I see people bringing their first reloads to the range and be afraid to shoot them. Not many new reloading prospects want to spend thousands of dollars right out of the gate. When they get overwhelmed with overthought suggestions of things beyond the basics that they need they start getting confused and begin to question the choice to reload. I suggest the basic single stage press, dies, a digital scale, and a simple powder measure that will survive a long reloading career...a Little Dandy for pistol and RCBS or Hornady for rifle and pistol.
I rarely see anyone step in and want to start loading high end target ammo for competition shooting. That may be because in New England where I live it is almost impossible to find a range longer than 200 yards. Where we can hunt with rifles it is almost impossible to find a hunting area where a shot over 150 yards is possible. I think New England has one public 1000 yard range.
When you shoot for money "HANDLOADING" is a different set of rules. Reloaders pumping out blasting ammo for a fun range day is far more casual. The entire point of my commenting is not to crowd unnecessary equipment and ideas before a "reloader in training" is ready for it.
@@moushunter We will have to agree to disagree. I recommended inexpensive, simple tips. Great ammo at the store is cheaper than “realoading” now. So I suppose my video should be titled Pro Tips for Beginner Handloading.
