    Great video for me. I have been a trap shooter for 40 years and sometimes shooting over 1000 rounds per week. I have reloaded shotgun shells forever but never reloaded a rifle shell. My father has left me an old Herters press with several die sets and I knew absolutely nothing about how to use them. After watching your video I can't wait to give it a try!

    Great video! Thanks for taking the time to film this, as most of us wouldn't, myself included. However, we would all comment and add some tips to someone else's video, and I would like to do so as well, with respect to the video's creator. In the interest of not accidentally double-charging a round, and possibly blowing up your gun, there is a little trick that can be used while weighing charges. After the charge has been funneled into the case, I like to put a bullet upside-down in the case mouth, both marking it as filled and plugging it so that I don't accidentally fill it again. When looking at a shell block containing fifty pieces of brass, it is easy to accidentally fill one twice. A double charged round, especially a max load, can blow up a gun and cause serious injury. Simple trick to avoiding a life-changing incident.
    Still, I think the video was great, and I thank you for making it.

      Great idea......I've done that with shotgun shells, which tell you as the plastic cup with lead will not seat in the shell....maybe not so with center fire.

    • @lukecurnutte2000
      @lukecurnutte2000 2 года назад +1

      Good tip but not necessary with .223/5.56. Most loads will almost fill the brass. And if it doesn’t, a double charge will surely over flow the case.

    • @allredwhiteandblue258
      @allredwhiteandblue258 2 года назад

      @@lukecurnutte2000 Agreed; only applies to cartridges that take little powder, like 9mm or .45acp. The 5.56, 7.62, 300WM etc. can't be double charged with most standard loads. However, seating a bullet on a cartridge with no powder can lead to a squib, also known as a "day-ruiner". With a .223, especially with subsonic loads, I can't always see the powder in the case, not without a flashlight.

    I do clean my brass in a tumbler. Not that you must but it helps protect your dies from getting dirty or scratched from dirt and crap over time, and it makes your reloads nice and pretty. As for your 5.56 brass I just load it like normal 223 brass. Follow good reloading practices and work your load up starting below the minimum in your reloading manual and you'll be fine. Send me a private message if this doesn't make sense or you need a more detailed explanation. Thanks for watching!

    TIP If your reloading for your Bolt Action Rifle, I suggest that you first make up a Dummy Cartridge or 2, To run through your Bolt action, To check if they feed and eject smoothly, Before you load up the live cartridges fot Hunting or Range testing Make up the Dummy test cases with no Primer or Powder in them to test with, Etc If The bolt does not close smooth or the round does not feed in it You may have to turn your resizing Die down another 1/4 of a turn that should correct the bolt problem, I had to learn this the hard way at first etc.

    Dude, You just simplified the process for me so much. I've watched a dozen other videos that make it look SO complicated, ... Until you! Thank you. I'm interested in getting started with reloading... And honestly, before watching your video... I was very skeptical and thought it's just not worth it.... But you make it simple and easy.... And I again, appreciate the lesson.

    Thanks for the video, this was absolutely worth the watch. I'm actually just starting this out of necessity. Found the only set of dies in northern Finland today for 8.2x53R, and bought them. Have an old Nagant that I got from my father-in-law, and the shameful fact is that as historical as the caliber is in here, it only has SAKO hammerheads factory made for it, and they cost over 3€ a piece.... ..defo going to start loading for my 30-06 as well cause this looks too much fun...

    There's something relaxing about this. I need to get into reloading! I like it the way you do it. It might be slow but like I said, there's something relaxing about it lol. Maybe because I'm very OCD about certain things and having complete control on the exact amount of powder I want, inspecting each round, etc. will make me feel accomplished. That's just me haha.

    @spencerboaz2385 4 года назад

    That was a really great basic , straight to the point reloading video . A cool little trick is to wipe down all your plastic tools
    with a dryer sheet to get rid of any static build up . Like when your putting powder in the case with a plastic funnel it
    keeps the powder from sticking to the funnel . I like to tap the funnel once or twice to make sure it all goes in , guess
    most of this is for like match loads but it works pretty good .

  • @matthewcornelius5862
    @matthewcornelius5862 3 года назад +1

    Thank you for your videos! Quick tip on adjusting you bullet seating depth with that screw. If you know what the threads per inch (or mm) you can do the math to calculate what one full turn of the screw will be. Lets take a 1/4-20 screw for an example. If you take 1 and divide it by the number of threads you obtain the pitch value. 1/20=0.050. This means for each revolution that 1/4-20 screw will travel 0.050 of an inch. So now if you divide up one revolution based off 360 degrees, each degree of movement moves that screw just over 0.0001 of an inch! Super accurate way of knowing how much you have turned any screw!

    Good Vid. When your going to really crank down on the die nut to lock it, it can put a nasty burr on your threads. The old timers put a lead shot bb under the set screw which helps to prevent this. I have never had a nut come loose using this method plus the threads don't get buggered up Have fun Loading and keep your powder dry.
