There are videos of guys using an endoscope to provide a visual check on powder charge. I had to knock the center hole out to mount mine where I can see in the case mouth. Worth the few bucks.
Slow and steady is good enough when reloading. I have a single stage press and only load 20 to 50 rounds at a time. It's a good way to spend a little time being productive.
Nice vid. That's a good looking press. Do you find that when the shellplate indexes, one or two kernels of powder will jump out of the case? I used to ream out my crimped primer pockets like you do but it just wasn't good enough sometimes so I bought the Dillon 600 Super Swager. Another step but it's fast and easy and, so far, foolproof. I like a seating die with a side window on a progressive press. Speeds up the process a little bit. I'll check out some of your other vids. 👍🙋♂️
Very nice job on the video, great light. I have several Loadmasters and would suggest to you when you have military brass you hand prime. You can feel the primers go in and catch and fix a bad primer pocket before ruining a primer. The whole process goes a lot smoother.
I know I take for ever and I’m by no means knocking you but this really makes me appreciate my single stage , I use the rcbs partner press for swaging then I decap and resize , from there I seat in a Lee loader I have mounted vertically and finally crimp with the partner press 🤷🏽
i learned on this press, still using it, sometimes takes little tinkering, but not complicated to figure out, lots of good videos out on it, gavintube has lots good ones out , how to's . I like mine alot
I single stage press all mine . but try Winchester 748 . it will feed good it's ball powder. and cut your military crimp with a Lee primer pockets cutter and a drill press
I’m really sorry to hear about your wife being ill getting back to your press I have the same press you might want to look into getting yourself a powder check die through RCBS I love mine you’ll just remove your priming die over too your empty space thin move your powder dispenser were that other die was just install the powder checker die where your powder dispenser was then you don’t have to worry about looking down into the case you’ll see how much powders in the case just want to let you know sorry for bad spelling and grammar from willie bulletman have a great weekend
