If your picking up some range brass mixed with your own brass, consider that some brass may have been fired a Glock. The Glock barrel is not supported in the back, but it allows for easy case ejection and reliability. This also leads to a ‘Bulge in the lower part of the case and problems for us reloader’s in barrels which are supported. Solution is the ‘Lee Bulge Buster’ which will work great on removing the bulge. There are many video’s showing how to use it and what additional die you will need, which happens to be the ‘Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die’ you remove the stem and the insert, then with the pieces which comes with the Bulge Buster you push the case all the way through the die which will remove the bulge. In the grander scheme of reloading, the Lee Bulge Buster is very, very affordable and is a solution to a problem. I still use a case check to insure they will fit, but it will help a lot! Now if you are reloading 9mm Luger, you don’t use the 9mm Carbide die, you need a 9mm Makarov Carbide Factory Crimp Die for use with the Bulge Buster. I know I’ve read why, but at the moment I just don’t remember, in my directions sheet for the Bulge Buster they also mention this caveat. Just to let you know a slight difference for the 9mm Luger and removing the bulge. Best to all, very nice video.
Just FYI...after operating a 3d printing business for a long time now and buying many different brands of 3d printers, my advice to you is get an Anycubic, Bambu Labs, Elegoo rather than the Ender. It will make your 3d printing experience much more enjoyable. We have purchased four Ender 3d printers over the past year and all of them have given more problems than all of our other brands (Anycubic, Elegoo, Bambu Labs), 2 of the Enders refuse to print larger items well within the print size of the machine, 1 of the Enders constantly give a heat error , even after replacing the extruder and software updates etc., the last of the four constantly has problems with just stopping in the middle of a print. Note that our printers run literally 24 hours per day. On a side note...Learn Fusion 360 for designing, it will benefit you in the long term.
That tiger stripe is sexy! Always liked that pattern. A lot of guys in my department liked the vests for their spare mags, but I could never warm up to them. Taking coats and sweatshirts on and off with them I found rather annoying. So I always used one on the duty belt with a single compartment holding 3 30 rounders. When positioned on your 10 o'clock, it's really quick to take the mags from pouch to rifle with just your offhand while keeping your strong hand on the grip of the AR. I also like the bandoleers like you showed. Being able to just throw it over your head and one arm, Indiana Jones satchel style, makes it easy regardless of your seasonal clothing. Good video, man.
@@TheBackwoodsHermit yeah I’m a big tiger stripe fan too. Always liked it. The bandoliers are mighty handy. I’m not a vest guy either. I used to use an LBE with mag pouches on the belt. They worked good too.
Excellent demonstration of these kits. I really like them too and have sets for each revolver and bolt/lever action cartridge of mine. I find Lee's additional dipper kit to be a nice companion to these as well. Thanks for sharing.
Just seeing “my minuteman setup” made me instantly click on it, keep goin man
@@LeHonk420 thank you brother
Thanks, I'm on ebay right now, Ha.
@@Ruteger100 good luck!!!
Hello Redneck, nice and simple, I like it. Mike.
you need a better 3d printer and a better designer
I vacuum seal some of my ammo
@@Leebeaux1 I love my vacuum sealer for food, and I’ve often thought about vacuum sealing ammo, but I haven’t tried it yet. Do you just seal them up loose, or in boxes?
@redneckreloader I save some factory ammo boxes I found at the range and boxes of the bullets I bought
Have you tried any of the pulled bullets from American Reloading or CDVS? Just curious what you thought.
Been shooting everything that I reload now and have a bunch of factory ammo that will be used only if I have to. Usually put reloads in zip-loc bags in ammo cans, but I do like your box template idea.
We've had the winter storm too. And I've spent a lot of time in my "dungeon" reloading and making a couple of videos.
@@1791Actual 😂 love the dungeon comparison
@redneckreloader it's in the corner of the basement of a 1930 farmhouse... the basement was a "cellar" back in those days.
@ this is actually my girlfriends house. My house was built in the 40’s and my basement has ceilings about 5 feet high. I’m planning on making a work area in the corner too when I get around to it. So I’m in the same boat. 😂
I use several methods. Zip locks bags in multiple of 30rnds, stored in an ammo can is my main method. One of my popular budget meyjods, especially for pistol rounds, is using my empty powder cans. 😉
this is good info, ammo cases ( the plastic king are near 5 bucks a box plus shipping. ouch. I would like to see the minute man chest rig. where did you pick up that bandolier? Thanks for all the info. stay warm down there.
@@Ruteger100 Thank you! I might do a video in my chest right now. I appreciate that suggestion. Didn’t think about doing that. I get the bandoliers off of eBay. They come complete with everything but the ammo. 😂 usually around $15.
Hey man, love your vids. Have you considered adding a tape loop to one box on each layer, like they do in prepackaged cans in the army?
@@benjaminneff4938 thank you! That’s a great idea. I’m definitely gonna do that. Would make it a lot easier to get them out.
Very informative and easy to follow. Thanks.
Have one love it.
Thank you for the video, sir. I recently purchased a Rossi 92 in 45 colt and I'm thinking about getting one of these loaders, just for reloading what little brass I shoot. How many times can I reload the brass.
I’ve like to use a separate die for crimping instead of doing both functions at once on a turret press. Generally I find it unnecessary though. For 50 AE i had problems with set back and use a cannelure tool on the case and heavily modified a 500 s&w factory crimp die to work with the AE. Thank you for the video!
Should be able to get some serious power out of the thicker 10mm casings
thaannnkssss Boss! thanks of the italy for this lesson!!!
Brass Monkey is my sons company.
Soon there will be a TV show called Ghost Gun Hunters. They will use all these fancy devices to see if they are trying to communicate from the other side lol
I made this as a TikTok video, but it wasn’t allowed so I put it in here.
My powder dispenser does not work so precisely that I can pour gunpowder directly into the cartridge case. I always have to measure the amount of dust on a scale, because the difference in weight is even 0.5 grs. Is there a trick to it?
I'm getting ready to purchase an accurized 45 ACP pistol and wonder about something I saw in a UA-cam video about a 1911 pistol unable to load 230 grain bullets due to misfiring cartridges. Can you share which gun manufacturer and model you selected for your choice of pistols so I can investigate more before I commit? Thanx for many great videos.
@@curtklemenz4783 my 45 is a Remington RP45. It has a very tight chamber, and will not reliably chamber 230gr ball ammo. I have to load very specific bullets for it. I had a gunsmith look at teaming the chamber to give it more freebore, but he didn’t have the correct reamer. It’s something I’ll do one of these days.
Most sensible and informative video I have seen yet about how and WHY to set seat and crimp….
@@collinweiss4983 thank you. I really appreciate you
still use my 22 hornet loader so much fun
Excellent Thank you
@@steveshackelford4911 thank you?
Why make such a complicated scale?
@@Hector_Malot 🤷♂️ it’s just how Lee does it.
great video
@@m444ss thank you!
I Love the Lee Hand Press
The case must be expanded while empty with no powder in it. If powder is in it it will cause case bulging. Because you are trying to compress air. This will deform the case every time. The very last 2 steps must be add powderand seat the bullet. Then you will have a perfect case every time.
merci de France
I really like your channel, you seem to be paralleling my reloading path. it's strange how often you answer a question I have about gear or processes. Hope all goes well for you. Thanks RR.
@@Ruteger100 thank you! I really appreciate that. I try to make the videos that I was looking for when I started reloading. I couldn’t find much detailed information and I wanted details. 😂
Hi all, I noticed that the tungsten bushing of the 38/357 factory crimp is wider than the one of the sizer die, but is this normal? Thanks.
Lee dipper sets deserve a place in every reloading room. I have used them for almost all my reloading, and get accurate results. For instance, a 5-shot ragged hole in .308, and 5/8-in groups with 30-06. I just pick a mid-range load with the powder and bullet weight used (never near max), load and shoot. To get charge weights with powders not listed in the charge weight reference card, just throw a few charges into a scale and record the results. I use either 5 or 10 charges together and average them for an accurate reading, then record the results. I have made custom dippers out of spent 9mm cases. Shorten the case with a sander and test charge weights with a scale until you get the one you want (throw ten charges together and average them, super accurate method). For instance, with Bullseye I have made 3.8 gr and 4.3 gr. dippers. Use a paper clip twisted around the extractor groove for use as a handle, and you're good to go.
People push the Lee factory crimp dies because they perform the best crimps possible. As they do so 100% of the time without shaving the bullets or buckling the cases. And a big plus is when switching to a bullet that is either longer or shorter one does not have to upset the crimp setting to get the bullet adjusted to its depth. All one has to do is adjust the seating die and the crimp is still good to go. Get a seating die with a micrometer on it and one can easily go back and forth between different bullets in seconds (not minutes).
I just purchased a Creality 3 I’m going to make reloading trays
Lee crimping dies are the only way to fly . That's one of areas they beat all other die makers in.
Do you need primer hole brush?
Great review. Thanks.
Great video, Thanks a lot.
@@Morehills840 thank you!
Good information, thank you!
Probably the bulge is caused by these bullets being larger than .357 diameter. The .38 S&W is supposed to use a .361-.362 diameter bullet. These are hard to find, but if these bullets were made for the .38/200 cartridge, they are probably larger than .357. A micrometer will show if I am correct.
I think people can learn a lot from you. Thanks for sharing.
Well done. Thanks
@@ruiferreira902 you’re welcome
Thanks man 👍🏼
@@wilsonrodrigues3548 you’re welcome
i just let the cat lick mine. Her tongue is rougher than any brass case. Good Kitty!
