I've seen other vids with hand loaded 158 grain .38 rounds. The extra grains do reset it to fire .357 rounds. So, no..., but yes. You just have to educate yourself and know what you are firing to know how your weapon will perform.
Great video! I have a Hatfield 12 gauge like yours but I haven't been able to fire it yet. So far everything looks good on it though. I am glad I bought it.
Man, I got exhausted from just watching you go through all that tedium, not to mention the time and effort it took to drill all those holes. I think what makes matters worse is the majority of the guys showing the world the best thing in cleaning brass since Lemmie Shine, are trying to do a bazillion cases at once. I only fill my FA tumbler halfway with cases irrespective of the cartridge caliber. At most that usually amounts to a couple hundred or so cases; which is more than enough for me per load session. I then add the media, tumble, strain and rinse them in a five gallon bucket through a mesh paint strainer, empty the strainer into my media separator tumbler, a few turns later pick the brass out of the tumbler, repackage the pins, and move on with the drying and case processing. Nothing else required, no specially fabricated tool or apparatus necessary, the brass is reconditioned and it didn't take the better part of my Saturday morning.
To be fair, at this point running regular .357 mag is - cheaper - more available - more reliable P.S. The question is still interesting, but as in "it would be cool to know", since the practical application is questionable at best...
It’s the magpul mag!! I only use Glock factory magazines in my builds!! All of the aftermarket magazines either nose dived the rounds or they were stove piping them!!
Thank You so much for clearly showing and explaining what to do and how to do it! This is the best video I’ve seen on how to do this this. You are a God send!
im new to reloading.....but it appears this type of media is a pain in the butt to deal with. as i write this, ive got my 1st batch running right now with the pins.
Awesome video! I was just wondering if I should get one for my featureless California build and this sold it for me. Those were some sweet camera angles getting to see how the gas is blown outwards
You just added 5 extra steps to a 3 step process. Get a large, mesh strainer that fits in your sink. Dump the contents of the tumbler into the strainer. Wash the brass, while dumping out the pins. Brass goes onto cookie sheet, 150-200 degree oven for 30 minutes. Done.
A bit of bench instruction would have made the production quality of this video better. Loading a round and operating the rifle shouldn't be done for the first time with live ammo at the shooting line.
