I am a self taught reloader and shooter with the help from the wider firearms community.
AussieReloader is about reloading ammunition, shooting and everything else in between. With the help of the shooting community I would love to share my journey in the realm of reloading and shooting sports.
Similar method on a DILLON 550. But I wet tumble twice one to remove the carbon fouling as I use TITE-GROUP powder, I allow it to dry run it through the depriming/ resizing. Then wet tumble again cleaning primer pockets alow to dry then reload.
I always keep a couple year stockpile of components. With self cast lead bullets and my cheaper than current priced powder and primers, I'm loading for 5¢ per round. Of course nothing for my time and not amortizing my $2000 for my equipment. With my Dillon if I work at it I can produce 500 rounds in an hour.
Dawn I believe is an old Australian made vice (Dont quote me). It came with the wood working bench i got from an old school. Don’t t know if the make it still
What model press are you using. I have a Lee Turret Classic press which I like, but I am thinking of moving up. I basically reload 360 ACP and 9mm. Since I now live in the state of Nevada close to a lot of open desert, I find myself shooting more, so changing to a faster press would be something I would like to consider. Thanks for the posting the video.
Sorry for being a negative Nancy but, how do people find this video instructional? He doesn’t even mention how much flare to look for. Doesn’t talk about seating the bullet to far. I can go on and on. Good bye’
I'm pretty sure the title says "quick guide". I think it's just a general idea of what to expect when reloading your ammunition. This was perfect for me because it showed me that the barrier for entry with reloading ammo is fairly low. It showed me the general process of how to use a hornady press, and some of the tools I would need to get going. You should always read and follow the instructions with the loading manuals and get your info from multiple sources.
@@ForwardBias what’s up. I actually got into reloading and have had success making 9mm. look into the Dillon videos on how to set up the press. I followed those videos and it thought me how to set up the dies and machine. I love reloading. I’ve have about 4K primers and will continue to stock up for the future. Six months ago I had no idea what I was doing but now I’m good.
Getting a clapped out barrel on an old school pre 81 BLR changed to 6.5 creedmore just didn't add up when I've got over 2000 .308 cases, so 6.5/08 aka 260 Rem. it is, Mr Alan Swan on the job.
Not sure about running dirty brass through the machine for the first stage 🤔 Does your sizing die have a pin to clear the polishing media out of the primer pocket?
@William Larkin Depends on how much he shoots, if someone only goes to the range a few times every year, it’s probably not going to save a lot of money.
The .260 REM (bolt action) is my go-to whitetail deer rifle. Great to see Redding in Australia. They're made just up the road. I went to steel pins and a liquid tumble with a dollop of Dawn detergent and Lemi-Shine. Two hours. But you do have to let them dry out.
i guess there's no need for me to watch . I don't have that fancy equipment. But i've loaded thousands on a single stage press over the last 50+ years.
Why does nobody make videos explaining what they are doing from start to finish and telling you what the equipment and supplies are and where to buy it.
Newbie here, looking to start reloading. I Thought you had to do a taper crimp on 9mm after seating the bullet, does your bullet seating die do the crimp as well?
Nathaniel Graham yes, the hornady bullet seating die i used in the video crimps as well. There some adjustments involved to get the correct seating depth and the crimp.
terrible video in my opinion watched 2 1/2 minutes of this nonverbal video with explanation of one thing he was doing using right powder measurments which could turn out to be fatal if anyone tried this with out knowing what they were and just going and dumping powder in their powder measure, god help everyone had sens not to do this. No knows what press dies he used what they were set at what the press was he used ( Looked like a Lee or Hornady Press) I maybe wrong. I would go with the best on the market with everything on this reloading progress press which everything not matter what is or how it broken has a lifetime warranty this press or presses or called Dillon, Dillon Precion best ever on the market. I also read alot of the your comments every comment I pretty much had read would have never had to have been asked if he had been verbal in this video and talked about what he was doing at the moment of each step, Why would anyone rate this an awesome video when someone takes a stick and points at one of the most important most precise piece of equipment most important piece of equipment to keeping your life safe at the range such as your gun exploding, blowing your fingers off or hand putting others in harms way this video is terrible, this meaning the powder scale. How would use this as a training tool to watch if your a new loader and sit watch someone point at a scale? Again this all my choice of saying and words and opinion, I do not care what or who anyone else says about this its just common sense to do something like this right way NOT THE WRONG LIKE I SEE. And any other reloader that has been doing this for years would agree I load 9mm 45 acp 38 380 several rifle rounds cast my own bullets, there is a differnce between right and wrong. This is not something to take lightly when your at a range and dealing with firearms and when others are present and watching and taking advice from a video like this, So he has nice stuff yes, very very expensive yes, does he know what he is doing yes for his own self reloading needs not yours or mine or anybody else, what he was doing was only for his purposes. Read about reloading learn about practice on your own watch other videos learn from more proficient reloading proffesionals...Find good manuals for your powder loads what grain bullets you need or want brass you want primers different dies, if you need lube for your brass carbide dies did he mention any of this NO because he simply did not have any verbal narrative to me this video was ignorant and dangerous. But go ahead and watch it and use it, but suffer after and then learn what the hard way i will promise you that is what is going to happen. \
Hi Jeff, thanks for your input. I appreciate all comments. This video was never meant to be a full tutorial with every detail involved otherwise like you said i would have narrated it and included more details, hence the disclaimer and title. I do explain things more thoroughly to those who direct message me with any queries and/or questions. I'm sorry you disliked it and found it misleading/dangerous, that was never my intention.
@@aussiereloader3902 All I wanted to see was what the process visually looked like from start to finish, just to wrap my head around "how" is reloading generally done. I've been hearing about reloading, and may decide to go further into learning more, but as an intro, this video served that purpose for me. Thanks!
I completely get what u mean although I’m on the fence. I LOVE that he didn’t irritate me with unnecessary verbiage about his day, walking the dog and going on a coffee run but I would have liked to know the technical part of what he’s doing and how. I’m still n the learning phases. I have my equipment but I’m taking it slow and researching. I will be reloading 9mm using various 9mm Luger cases and cleanshot smokeless powder. I’m comparing different data for Berry’s superior plated copper jacketed bullets. I’m comparing data from the site that cleanshot’ recommends for their smokeless powder. I’m making sure I KNOW HOW MUCH powder to use. Then, make sure I do all the steps that go along with reloading. So, again I enjoyed that my ears weren’t talked off because he loves to hear his own voice. But I’d like to know a lil more about each step he took.
Paul G decide what you will be using your rifle for ie. target shooting, hunting. Each activity will have a variety of different projectiles etc to suit your purpose. Explore what shoots well with your rifle and stick to it. I generally buy enough projies etc to outlast the barrel that way you never run out. Im in WA
Paul G i use 2 loads on my 260 at the moment, the 95gr vmax for vermin like foxes and the 143eldx for larger animals. I run 43grains of ADI AR2209 powder (slower burning). Bear in mind my barrel is 20.8 inches so result will vary with yours. Happy loading!
When you case lube. it's best to spray the case lube into a one gallon zip freezer bag then dump in the brass and shake well.. Not any of the case lube will get inside of the case that way... Just something I found out..
@@aussiereloader3902 I just randomly check powder charge weight and this was the only way I could keep the powder from sticking inside the case to get an accurate weight. Little less smoke when I shoot them as well. Excellent video btw.
I only lube rifle cases. I have carbide dies and have Never put lube on pistol in 20+ years. I was told that you never want to Contaminate the powder with lube.
