I’m so glad to see you make another reloading video. Your older videos were such a big help when I started reloading. So much so, I’ve watched them multiple times over the years. Merry Christmas!
Being now @77 years and retired from all shooting sports, I laud you on ypur efforts to teach the new comers! I would only add that in any recipe, when one deviates from it, it is good practice to start back @minimum & work up! Having started w/ loading while on military leave @20, using an entry level Lee Loader in a Ruger .44magnum, Super Blackhawk, I also laud your choice of a straight wall pistol cartridge & Unique powder! It is always to be stressed that using data from a VERY reliable source, will keep your hands and eyeballs intact! AND, always wear good eye protection, not only while shooting, but @the loading station as well! ALSO, follow the safety guidlines that're published in every reliable manual - many of which I haven't addressed. Happy loading...
Of the many many reloading videos I've seen, this is the most thorough and comprehensive video I've seen. You explain the why and how in every step which many videos lack. Excellent and outstanding video!
Reloading looks like work but in reality, I find it very relaxing to do. I have built my collection of reloading machines so that I can reload anything I need. since I have been reloading for 25 years, I have always stocked up on supplies so the politics of the day do not hinder my hobby. Reloading allows you to have a few thousand rounds stored ready for use when you need it.
watched, commented and watched all the commercials so you make $ and gave a 👍 just cause you did a video on my favorite and ideal cartridge caliber, ie; .40 s&w!👍😎🍻⚡🔥💪💥
Nice to see a new reloading video, I enjoy seeing pistol ammo loaded on a single stage press and the methodical way you work. Quality stuff, keep it up!
I have been reloading for many years...still love watching others reload as well, especially rounds that I have not reloaded yet... Keep ON ROCKING IT!...JIUTJITSU2000......P.S. Happy New Year!......
This is super cool! very detail/thorough (The DO's and DON'Ts) reloading video! I'm going to try this because I just got into .40s&w. Merry Christmas Jujitsu!
I would stick with that caliber because it always delivers slightly better stopping power than 9mm Luger. Even better, while the 9mm fanboys weep at the sight of empty shelves, there are always 5-10 boxes of .40 sitting on the shelf at the local sporting goods store. 😁 I have in the last 19 months, never had trouble finding at least 2 boxes of .40 ammo so I think it slightly edges out 9mm for long term storage.
@largol33t12 I'd go to 10mm, it has even better stopping power compared to the 40 s&w, otherwise known as the 40 short and weak. I'm just kidding, I don't play the fan boy game or put down others choice of caliber. I reload 25acp all the way to 500 magnum, shoot what you like, have fun, be safe, and practice often.
I reload, have done it for years. Here's my top 5 list 1 not everyone should reload. It takes a substantial investment in money and time. The materials can be dangerous. If you are easily distracted, like to take shortcuts then perhaps you should consider another hobby. 2 legally you need to be a specific FFL to sell your reloads. A lawyer on retainer also helps. 3 treat your reloading press and dies better than you treat your firearm, clean, properly lubed, dies can build up lube, metal shavings, scratches, keep an eye on them 4 check your scale calibration with a certified weight in the range of you powder charge. Not many powder charges are 50 grams 5 check you caliper with a guage block in the range or your cartridge overall length. Loading handgun rounds, 25mm or an inch, rifle rounds 75mm or 3 inches Next five 6-10 6 a decapping die used on dirty cases lets you knock the primers out before wet cleaning, it will give you pretty primer pockets 7 it is possible to find crimped pockets on 40S&W as well as 9mm, 5.56 and 762x51. This makes it hard/impossible/dangerous to insert a fresh primer. There are tools to correct this problem. 8 SAAMI Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute is the source of the drawings. They have free drawing pdfs of all cartridges that have even more details 9 SAAMI also has recommendation for storing primers and powder 10 Keep your load data with your ammo. This includes date made, powder, bullet, powder weight, trim length, overall length, primer, and possibly case manufacturer. This will come in handy when you have a problem. Sure it isn't as easy as throwing them all in an ammo case, but it will help you someday
Great job brother. Before I started reloading I took a class with two fellas that have reloaded for years. We went through some reloading steps with little expectation. I have gotten so much clarity in the reloading process watching your videos, I thank you very much. Keep up the excellent 👌 work my friend. Take care and God bless.
Thanks, Man. I always refer to your videos before I load a different calibre or if I haven’t done any reloads for a while. Solid info, great advice and always consistent. Showing different tools and explaining how they work is always appreciated. Keep up the great work from flashlights to ammo.
Greatly appreciate this video! Just recently bought a S&W 610 in 10MM. The price tag on that first box of shells had me wondering about this process. The cost makes a lot more sense when you see all the work that goes into manufacturing them. Thank you!
Excellent Skeet, so happy your doing some reloading vids…this originally how I found your channel so many years ago. I just finished some 38 special loads myself. Primers, especially small pistol primers, are very hard to find and if you do they are so expensive. As always very thorough and informative video!
Jiu-jitsu I think you are the best in reloading videos. You’re very precise and knowledgeable. I loved your 9 mm Reloading video. Thank you for being on RUclips.
Thank you so much for the very kind words and support you give my channel! Next year I'll be doing a 9mm video on my Dillon 550B! Can't do it now, in the process of some things. Blessings from Arizona! 🙏
I just found your channel last week and found it very detailed. Particularly, I like the way you give every detail you can think of while doing the task and this is how quality ammo can be produced. I was so encouraged that I have ordered a Lee single stage press kit.
@Steve, being now 77 and having loaded since I bought my 1st Ruger revolver when I was 20, I can assure you that you'll love it if you'll try it! As the other commenter said: "why NOT...?" Respectfully, RRC
I think it all depends on how much you shoot, and what caliber you shoot as well. There can be some serious savings money wise with bigger revolver calibers, and rifles as well, plus it's alot of fun, any excuse I can find to be around my guns is fine by me.
@@jimmysp4des229 Yeah, I used to have those thoughts as well. I can tell you that it is a very satisfying hobby once you get into it. Confidence comes with arming yourself with enough knowledge to get yourself going. I found it very helpful to personally sit in with some local boys during one of their reloading sessions to observe what they did & how they did it. Then I set about looking to secure the very basic tools & accessories to get me started. I found a fairly complete RCBS single stage reloading outfit with lots of accessories at a local pawn shop for $100.00. I began with 9mm, watched various videos, took notes & began my first attempt at reloading 100 rounds of 9mm FMJ standard loads. I carefully checked & rechecked after every step. I did not want to screw it up. It all went fairly well. No big issues arose & upon completion, all the rounds cycled thru my pistol with no hiccups, hangups or misfires. I now have several hundred rounds under my belt, my confidence has grown to the point that I'm now reloading other calibers including .223/5.56. Like anything in life, none of us was born knowing this stuff. But you can learn if you are willing to pay attention, follow proper procedures & ask questions when you run into something you don't understand. You are not the only one out there that don't know how to do it. Good Luck...JGA
Great introductory video. I knew nothing about reloading other than my father handing me completed cartridges to package as I was a child. I would like to reload .45ACP someday and this video made reloading look a lot less daunting than I had imagined it to be. Thank you. Heading off to buy some books :)
As a long time reloader of 50 years+ duration, .45ACP is a perfect starting place for the neophyte loader! Read the books, follow the safety guidelines! Have FUN!
Regarding books don't overlook your local library. Some of the best reloading manuals are the old ones. The old manuals went into more detail than a lot of new manuals. I would not just use their old reloading formulas without checking against newer data because some types of powder have been sold to different manufacturers and their formulas may have changed.
I’m from Brazil e I learned how to reloading watching this channel. The video about how to reload 9mm I watched many and many times. Thank you very much my american friend, God bless you!...
I’ve been thinking about starting to reload my on pistol ammo. I watched this entire video and you have taught me more about reloading than I have ever learned from friends! Very informative and a very good video! Thank you and god bless!!
i was thinking about getting into reloading and watching your videos showed me how easy it can be and i shoot 40 all the time so was thinking about getting into it thanks for the knowledge
It's awesome to see you do another reloading video. I have really missed seeing them on your channel and I hope you continue to do them. Thanks and God bless!
your reloading videos are so interesting to watch. I don't even live in America, guns are straight-up illegal in where I live. Yet I still found myself binging your videos lmao
I changed to Dillon case after watching your videos it definitely makes a difference. Also nobody else explains it the way you do that a plus. Honestly I haven't been able to watch too many of your videos lately due to work and why are there so many flashlights I'm sorry dude they're basically the same probably have same power outage. Watch everything though Merry Xmas and next videos 🌲❄️☃️
Hello! I'm so glad the reloading clips are back up!!! I have them all and thanks to you being so detailed and precise I am learning and following your advice! Thank you, stay healthy bro!!!
I'm going to dive into it head first so I'm checking out videos at random when I came across yours very informative precise and necessary for beginners such as myself have a blessed day❤
Been reloading for 55 years so you get set in your own ways but interesting to see what young folks do today. So set in my ways I was thinking paint your block walls and improve your lighting two ways. 😂
@@jiujitsu2000 Kenny is a dear friend of mine... I've been knife smithing since 1983... he and I are quite a lot alike, Kenny just got started later than I did LOL... Trenton Tye is also a long standing friend.... all of us reload
Greetings JJS2000: Glad to see you back into reloading. I'm fairly new to the process & it's a blessing to see an experienced person go thru the steps. I realize it's mostly common sense once you get into it, but it's uplifting to see how other people deal with & correct the occasional hiccup. When you decapped the misaligned primer from the case, did you soak it in water first or simply reinstall the decap die & punch it out dry? Also, thank you for covering the points you made regarding your not trimming the cases & how it plays into the crimp procedure & the final outcome of the completed cartridge. Great Job on the video. I'm glad I was able to watch it prior to my going back to the reload bench. It sure helped me understand the process & what occurs as the case is married to the bullet & you addressed some of the questions lingering in the back of my mind the last time I was reloading... JGA
In the crimping stage, wouldn't you be able to crimp and set the bullet length at the same time? you get the desired bullet length, then back out the top threads, then get the desired crimping, and move the top threads back to get the proper bullet length. is that an option do both things in the same step?
Simply for those who aren't familiar with reloading, you can get a Lee Six Pack Pro progressive press (round of ammo for every pull of the handle) for about $224. Another $400 will get you the dies, plates, powder measure, bullet feeder and bushings to get you churning out pistol ammo at about a box every 8 minutes.
case length gauge...is it designed to make sure the case WITH the bullet aren't too long? I thought they were just for an empty case to check if they need trimming or resizing. Confused because you said if you don't have one, you can use your barrel, but you can't see in your barrel to know the length. Thanks
I'm just getting into reloading and I cannot find any 12 gauge or 410 new or used unprimed hulls. I'd rather use new hulls since I'm new at this. Any ideas where to look for these? Thanks!
Dear jiu jitsu I like how you have the high powder weight and low powder weight and then the average in the middle is a safe way to do it,,, always insisting to use the lowest powder weight, with two little powder you can get a squibb round right or or not operate the slide properly on a semi auto right?
When setting up carbide sizing dies, I always did the same thing by giving it an extra 1/16th turn and over-camming just a little. But a few weeks ago my brother came by while I was resizing, and he threw a fit. He said that over-camming should only be done with steel dies and that carbide dies can crack. He just screws it down until it touches the ram and leaves it alone, and I’m curious to get your take. I’ve always loved your videos Jiujitsu!
A bullet mold is priceless because if you have lead to cast, you will never run out of bullets (or "projectiles" if you will). I find that people are too enamored with copper/brass jacketed bullets to deal with cast lead. If you adjust your muzzle velocity down - cast lead does the same job as jacketed. +P loads are inaccurate as hell. Lead bullets can fracture when it hits bone, it is what you want to happen.
I take the lowest value and the highest value from a few different books and try to get right in the middle for powder weight seems to work if you see anything unusual it might be an error if 10 different things are very similar and one weight is too much or too little it's probably wrong
Notice jiu jitsu has a case gauge checker you can get those from evolution gunwerks and they make sure that the bullet will go into the chamber and doesn't have any dents or protrusions
I’m so glad to see you make another reloading video. Your older videos were such a big help when I started reloading. So much so, I’ve watched them multiple times over the years. Merry Christmas!

Edit: Just checked and while I don’t see any .410 in stock, they do have 12ga hulls.
I use a LOT of unique
Dear jiu jitsu I like how you have the high powder weight and low powder weight and then the average in the middle is a safe way to do it,,, always insisting to use the lowest powder weight, with two little powder you can get a squibb round right or or not operate the slide properly on a semi auto right?
New to reloading. When you seat the bullet can you crimp then or is it better to crimp like you did after the seating process
are you using lubricant with carbide dies? I thought that wasn't neccesary?
It's not necessary, but doesn't hurt
Where do u get your powder loading guide from the high and low powder charge
When setting up carbide sizing dies, I always did the same thing by giving it an extra 1/16th turn and over-camming just a little. But a few weeks ago my brother came by while I was resizing, and he threw a fit. He said that over-camming should only be done with steel dies and that carbide dies can crack. He just screws it down until it touches the ram and leaves it alone, and I’m curious to get your take. I’ve always loved your videos Jiujitsu!
A bullet mold is priceless because if you have lead to cast, you will never run out of bullets (or "projectiles" if you will). I find that people are too enamored with copper/brass jacketed bullets to deal with cast lead. If you adjust your muzzle velocity down - cast lead does the same job as jacketed. +P loads are inaccurate as hell. Lead bullets can fracture when it hits bone, it is what you want to happen.
40CAL is 🤴 👑 KING.....!!!!!!
I take the lowest value and the highest value from a few different books and try to get right in the middle for powder weight seems to work if you see anything unusual it might be an error if 10 different things are very similar and one weight is too much or too little it's probably wrong
This guy has way more patience than me. I can only reload on progressive My time is way too important.
I don't ever want an issue so I show down. I feel you though... I love my Dillons!
Notice jiu jitsu has a case gauge checker you can get those from evolution gunwerks and they make sure that the bullet will go into the chamber and doesn't have any dents or protrusions
