Cost savings are NOT the only benefit of reloading. Increased accuracy velocity and avialabilty (especially for old, obsolete rounds) are also benefits.
You make good sense, I started reloading at 15 years old in 1975, after 50 years of it and loading over a dozen different rifle and pistol cartridges as well 12 and 20 gauge shot gun. Sometimes just buying factory ammo is fare less time consuming especially with the quality in the last 15 years or so, it used to be that factory ammo had sub par cup in core bullets, sub par accuracy with poor BC and velocity was ridiculously low. Not the case with today’s ammo.
Started with a lee challenger, then bought a classic cast, now i have a rebel, a partner to deprim and a co ax for rifle rounds, might buy a turret someday Reloading is honestly vital if you enjoy shooting, and you never stop learning, been doing it for 1year1/2 and still so much to learn, very enjoyable hobby
Had mine for just over 12 months. Absolute beast. Love it. Important to clean the pistons as well to keep the self opening return action system nice and smooth. After 50 plus rounds the snake doesn't cut it in my opinion, especially once the barrel cools down. Never had a jam, even with target rounds. Wouldn't recommend any rounds under 1200 fps.
Good advice. There are some tight tolerance factory ammos to be tried for those who don't contract 'the bug', your quote. Reloading is a great hobby that can can make you poor, and quickly.
have Sulun owners brains stopped functioning? that little lever with the red dot near your serial number, press that if the shotty is cocked and it will unlock the loading ramp. you dont need to hold the lever down....
I have always wanted the 94 model in 375 Winchester. I have a mate who has had one since the 1980s. When I last seen him a few years ago he told me he hasn’t fired it in decades. I might have to go see him and put some money 💵 under nose to see if he sells it to me 😀.
Space Coast Florida here. Yes, she is a beauty and the star, Best of luck on the reloads. I haven't fired the .375 winchester cartridge, i am interested to see the velocities and fpe. See you next video.
I see an AMP press, AMP annealer, Giraud trimmer, and an IDOD in your future. Can start thinking on a way to justify the 10K to the wife! The annealer is the easy one, once they see what's involved in flame or salt bath annealing its easy to justify not burning the house down. The rest will be a challenge. Good luck, thanks for the video!
Been reloading for nearly 30 years now,-the savings come over the long term. The real game changer has been learning to reload primers (not Prime-All). This is something anyone can do if they wish. Combine that with cast and swaged bullets, Im loading .44 Mag currently fir 15-20 cents per round
Hello! Sir Using magnum primers(215) in the federal brand in the past, that I had been sold by accident because they were not at all needed in 308, my groups were always 1 inche lower at 100 meters compare to the same brand with large rifle non magnum primers(210Match). Sometimes mistakes or accidents teach you more then you would think have a good day
Hunters I know yrs ago as a young man .told me that they only have one good hunting rifle with 4 or 5 boxs of ammo that works the best They don't reload.
I have this same unit. It's amazing, however the primer pickup tube for large primers is too short and won't accommodate 100 primers. Only about 96 of them. Do you know where I can source the right tubes? I love their S/S ones, they're beautifully-made, but the LP one is too short by about 1/2 inch.
Agree with this point. Putting the final shell in the chamber works fine for me. Also, may i suggest owners replace the charging handle straight away, the origonal one is awful
Wow!... Jeez!... That's in a fairly light and short Rifle too.... My goodness, that thing would kill my shoulder along with whatever I'm shooting at!... AWESOME !!....
I also started with the Lee loader. I have many of them . Even with everything I have today I use them once in a while. Couldnt tell you how many rounds I made on them. Are you having any problems finding components? Good video new subscriber.
What do you get off telling anybody they don't need the cartridge? Have you ever seen a grizzly up close and personal? You might wish for a 30mm cannon round.
