A couple of observations....I use a universal decapping die before cleaning the brass...this gets the primer pockets clean before resizing ...invest in a powder trickler...handling powder with your bare hands could contaminate the charge.
Made 200 rounds of 80 grn nossler with AR 2208 power, i recon takes around 5 or 6 hours but its worth it for the long range target shoot or the hunt.......from down under
The handle was too short when I got it i was sizing 3006 brass it wasn't working well so I made a handle and broke it I found the gun stock at a garage sale and I drilled a hole in it and glued it on its good hard Hickory and works good. Had like that for years. Lol
Seems a little better if Knock your primers out, and size before cleaning Spray lube on a sponge and rolls cases on it You never measured the case before trimming The one primer sticking out because most likely over pressure, causing primer blow out
Both my kids have Savage rifles in .243, 9.25" twist. I use 31 gr of IMR 4064 and a 100 gr. Sierra spbt and WLR primers. The results are sub moa. Nothing sexy about the load but their rifles shoot better than mine. Do your own load development!!
You should have neck sized them if he only has one 243. This is how you get the utmost in accuracy out of the rifle. I've been reloading for over 40 years and my rifles consistently poke out single jagged hole groups at 100 yards. Does yours?
Your probably right but I have 10 year old ammo that works just fine. Same fps as what I wrote down. What exactly does the oil from my hands do? Degrade the powder? What about the oil from case lube wouldn't that be bad to? I'm sure alot of oil is bad but a tiny bit on .001 grains of powder probably isn't hurting anything.
Your video was informative in your process you skipped two steps, 1 you didn’t wipe the lube off your brass before you started resizing. 2 you trimmed each case but you didn’t check each case to insure all of them were the same length with your calibers. A good crimp will insure each case has the same neck tension, which will help with accuracy. Good luck in the further
In defence of the the video. 1) The whole point of lube is to assist with resizing. Removing it defeats the purpose. 2) 243 Win is never crimped. Seat the bullet a caliber depth. That’s all.
You lube to resize after you have resized wipe the lub of so it will not get in your bullet seating die. If the 243 win is never crimped, why do Winchester,Federal, Hornady, put a crimp on there factory rounds ?
Anytime a round goes from the magazine and it hits the feed ramps, without a tamper crimp there could be bullet set back, which in turn could case a server pressure spike. The only time a crimp doesn’t have to be applied is when a single shot rifle is used, like a T/C Contender.
I had no idea how much time it took to make shells for my 44. Lovingly made by my buddy. They are nice and hot! Keep up the good work.

Knock your primers out before you tumble to clean the primer pocket
You have alot to learn
Top video on the reloading... Bravo
Nicely done 🎉
love that handle 🤠
👍🏼looking for a video just for this thanks 🙏
Try WD40 dry lube for case lube. You will like it.
LOL, you're messier than I am, and I'm 73.

Basically the same way I reload for all my calibers
What was the trim tool. Never seen it done that way.
that is a lee case trimmer.
Much quicker to put the drill in the vice gently... and hold the shell in the tool by hand for all of that, and you have a better feel for it.
Great vid!!! What’s the story behind the custom press handle?

@@theoutdoorsmissouri Cool I think you can get on free from lee just have to pay shipping!!
Oh ya I'm sure. I didn't know that then but I kinda like it now. Lol
Seems a little better if

Thanks. Sir
You have a lot of room for improvement on loading
We all have room for improvement. I'm sure.
My next caliber to work up load for.
When your case trimming and chamfering you should always hold the mouth of the case down so no small amounts brass get into the case.
I usually tumble after trimming.

This is how you get the utmost in accuracy out of the rifle. I've been reloading for over 40 years and my rifles consistently poke out single jagged hole groups at 100 yards. Does yours?
I do a ladder chart and find my nodes and grab the middle node. You did not zero your load.
I also throw my powder a hair low and then trickle. Powder in your is a horrible idea. Oil from your hands is bad.

I don't crimp I don't wipe lube . I do crimp cast bullets. The lube is one shot so it doesn't require a wipe.

Or you hand feed it or the round doesn't hit the feed ramp. Or when your a rebel and don't believe everything you read.
