Lee said to turn bushing beyond crescent notch with its flange tightened against depressed lock pin. However, I suppose you can leave lock pin in notch without any bad effects. Actually I’ve been wondering if doing it by leaving it loose in crescent that it might give float and help with good alignment for low runout. Just thought you should know what Lee Precision told me .

Thank you! It is clear and straight forward for a beginner.

Nice, simple vid, here it is, it's black and white. I have a V4, a Chargemaster 1500, a Lyman LE1000 elec scale and an older Hornady M beam scale and Lee scoops, I use whichever one suits the end purpose best, or which one I'm in the mood to use.

I use the following: Lemi-Shine (1 tsp) - Walmart Simple Green (2 tsp) - Walmart White Vinegar (2 tsp) - Walmart Tap water - Faucet Lyman 2500 - 480 seconds Adjust for how dirty your brass is.

Skip lubing inside the neck with wax and use graphite with ball medium and use expander mandrel after you full length size. Won't have wax inside your case. Don't have to really wipe off graphite

Ottimo video, molto istruttivo. Grazie!

I have the same Lee $30 powder dispenser, it is NOT curated with large flake powder. It is LEAK with small ball power. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

I really liked how well everything was explained, thank you. I have a question. Can you pass a cartridge with primer, powder and the bullet through the body die?

BINGO!

Very good explanation and audio. I appreciate the zooming as well to get critical close-ups.

Really enjoy your videos. No nonsense, informative tutorial start to finish. Adjusting the camera makes view steps is first class.😊 Have you produced a video/tutorial on bullet seating I could find one, adjusting the die to obtain correct depth having determined the overall length. Appreciate there are UA-cam tutorials out there but you style and photography is undoubtedly the best. Mike AC uk

Grains do not always show up down range. So while pursuing grain accuracy this might not appear on your target.

do you deprime before you tumble?

I like to shoot for hobby and not really for competition so seeing I don't have to spend much to get good results is nice.

Excellent review

nice channel,

Love these first-hand, average user experience videos. Hope more people discovers your channel.

I don't need to watch the video. I've been reloading since 1980. The answer is NO. That said, I've had terrible experiences with the chargemaster lite. I had to return two of them as defective. They were DANGEROUS. Other brands I've tried have been fine.

Great video very informative keep’em coming !

I am glad to see you are making videos again. I enjoy all your videos. Very informative. Keep them coming!

For consistent accuracy loading, especially with extruded powder, I use a Chargemaster. For bulk loading ball powders, I use the CM and an RCBS thrower while the CM is dispensing.

LE Wilson has a crimp removal cutter that in my opinion works best if you have the trimmer. I always use the primer pocket gauge to make sure I don’t cut the pocket too wide at the opening.

Great video, i always save videos like yours and go back, watch them again and pickup more info. I have both wet and dry tumblers and i’ve gotten away from the dry because of dust plus the wet tumblers get the brass cleaner quicker but the down side is they clean a little too well. I’m going to try a little experiment by putting medium grain rice in my wet tumbler to clean after sizing with Imperial sizing wax and see if they become clean enough without getting the inside too clean to cause galling when seating bullets. Make any sense? I’ll give you the update after i try this. Thank you.

i subbed your channel do ya still post anymore ?? thanks MB ..

I use the Husky Work benches from Home Depot. They are great, strong, adjustable etc. I have an 8 foot and a 4 foot. Oh and glad to see you are back!!

A tip that might be helpful. Use wood fillers to fill the old holes, so small parts don't drop into the holes. I did that to my bench to fill in the old direct mount holes for my press, when I moved to the Lee Bench Plate System.

I've been using an Old Ikea Dinner Table for a while with the Lee Quick Change Plate. It works well, and the Lee Plate gives it a bit more rigidity. But as I am loading more on a Lee Load Master Progressive now, it does creak quite a bit. And the press feel isn't great due to the flexibility of the wood. I am thinking about moving to a steel platform like the Lee or the FA. The Lee is nice, but kinda an awkward shape to place along other work surfaces though. So I am leaning towards the FA at the moment. The flex, I don't really mind it on a Single Stage, but on a Progressive there's 6 Points of "Bottoming Out", and I keep second guessing if I've reached the end of the stroke or not.

Reloaded for many years a LONG time ago and never heard of wet tumbling. Very helpful, thanks.

When I was first starting out back in the '80's, I only needed to reload ammo for my center fire rifle. I picked up the Lee Hand Press Kit. The 15" x 11.5" box contained a complete reloading set up, just add fired brass, primers, powder and bullets. Well not quite, I soon added the Lee case prep tools: a trimmer cutter with locking stud, the case length pilot for my cartridge with lock ring, a primer pocket cleaner tool and the case mouth chamfer tool. I then ditched the Ram Prime tool for the less cumbersome off press Lee Auto Prime tool with the required shell holder for my cartridge. I then finally broke down and got the Lee Safety Powder Scale to check my loads. Still fairly compact as long as you didn't mind hand cleaning brass.

Sorry, I must not be reading where you're getting your mins' from (within the Lyman 50th Ed book)? The Lyman's book states 2.028 but the Lee states 2.019?? The max OAL pic on pg 234 shows 2.039 but not sure why Lee and Lyman have SO much of a difference?? What is correct?

I've got the same Forster resizing die in 6.5 Creedmoor. How do I know if I'm positioning the expander ball too high or too low in the die? Is there a trick or rule of thumb to know if you've got that expander ball positioned correctly?

Si no tengo la herramienta, como puedo quitar el primer?

Hey! I reloaded at the toilet before. Wait, no, that was unloaded. Oh well, funny me.. 😎

Sonic clean to loosen crude up. Wet tumble with pins to get it cleaned up. Dry tumble to remove sizing lube.

I got a Omnitable 4 in 1 Portable Workbench, off of eBay, for Handloading. It is very sturdy. The Disston 30140A OmniTable 4 in 1 Workbench is a portable, adjustable work table, scaffold, dolly, and floor creeper for professional contractors and home users. With its large work surface of 37.5" x 18.3" and 500-pound load capacity, the multipurpose OmniTable portable work table and garage workbench can accommodate large projects with ease. Its folding legs offer adjustable height convenience for tackling numerous job tasks. Built-in features include a 110V power strip, ruler/protractor, drill hole, steel hammer surface, in line accessory storage for screws, nails, and drill bits, and convenient carry handle. Lightweight at only 32 pounds, this folding work table is compact and easily stored. Folded dimensions: 18.2"D x 37.5"W x 4.2"H

I first started reloading after a back surgery. In sure that bench with hand tools can be a great starter bench or additional work space.

In my apartment days, after nearly breaking off the corner of my dining table, I built a flimsy bench resembling a wide topped saw horse. One of these would have been far superior!

Just get the quick trim die for your press its quicker than hand trimming.

I wet tumble with SS pins to clean brass before running through deprimer, then use walnut shells after deprimed to polish

I like Wet Tumble for the Flexibility and Reduced Lead Exposure. I can tumble a ton of pistol brass without pins, and that will get them clean enough in my opinion. Or you can get brass shiny clean if you want that.

Kyle, maybe you or UR should give Southern Shine Tumbling "Bits" a try. Johnny has a video on it, and it seems to be a easier workflow to me. ua-cam.com/video/_gaFu9YSJyg/v-deo.html But, since I'm in Canada, I did not have a chance to try them yet.

I dry tumble in lizard cage media from the pet store long enough to remove case lube and that's it. It could be shinier but I don't want to deal with having to dry brass after wet tumbling.

I have this in a 223 barrel, and I dry tumble.

I've used the RCBS pocket swager. I'd say it works ok, but the biggest gotcha is putting too much pressure on the tool, It will bend (s-curve) the backing rod that fits inside the case. You have to follow the instructions , and use hand feel to keep from bending the rod.

Good video. I got the discontinued Cabella's 400 Model Tumbler. It came with media and soap additive too with a media sifter. Works perfectly fine. Also, dryer sheets are your friend.

Turned out nice Thank you for taking time to video the process & results

I would use s blue Scotchbrite sponge to clean out the bowl and used dryer sheets to keep the media clean. Works great.

There isn't a problem with the "cheap Lee press", it's your cheap bench that's flexing. Also, try removing primers and any crimp first, then run the other operations.

Yawn.....

Can you do 1 for .303
