Right! eye. So it all works with my right hand?

Do you use the primer that comes with some press? That is all i use. It have a tube to put the primers in , then self feed. Also reloading manual have a list of shell hold makers for what one to use for what case .

I still use the one i grew up using.

You came up with i seen too many people who wants to go with a progressive loader and do not have a clue. Glad you say up front . Good video. I know something that have a progressive and did started with a single stage and end up use his progressive like a single stage because the quality of ammo he get . I use a single and a T press. Works for me and been doing this for some years.

Great explanation. Been reloading about 60 years. The only thing i see missing is explanation on priming tools and wether you're going to prime shells with an RCBS, Lee, etc or do it on the single stage/turret press. Progressives is automatically done on the press. You might also warn them it's not a cheap hobby, but most hobbies aren't. But if you're looking for accuracy you can't beat it.

I recently got an oil-damped scale in its wooden box in an auction lot. Unfortunately the auction house wasn't careful when they were getting my won items together and they laid it on its side, so the oil ran out. I've seen ATF suggested, but is there a particular oil you prefer for these?

this video should be mandatory for new reloaders.

Makes me so utterly sad that our country has adopted planned obsolescence. I was born in 1982 and lived with my grandmother when my mom and dad split. Well being raised by the greatest generation and also being taught by my father a boomer. Really made me appreciate certain things such as quality anything. I notice stuff that’s made with quality immediately. Does not matter what it is it sticks out like sore thumb to me the second I see it. As of late seeing anything like that has become very rare.

You would be surprised at how many people don’t know about those

I’m curious if a 410 shell will fit in a 550. edit ✍️ no a 410 won’t fit wish I had some 16 gauge and 20 gauge laying around. Oh well maybe I’ll come across a couple hulls at the range next time I go.

I had one of those auto scales it was a Lyman. I gave it to a good friend and reloader CW long shot.

In California?

I know what your talking about, you buy 1000 primers and there's one missing.

I have been reloading over 70 years and this fellow know his stuff!

I absolutely agree with not running around, mid-process, to find something you need. As a fairly new reloader (6-8 months) I developed a checklist that I print and check off each item as I gather it and put it at the reloading station. That includes my cases (or hulls), powder, bullets (or shot and wads). It's helped a lot

When i lived Ventura I always had your shop on the list of places to go visit. Unfortunately i never made it in. I have an old pacific shotgun press that was my dads but i think it's missing some parts. Any idea where i can find a manual for it?

Great job on the video. I reloaded 9mm and 45-70s during graduate school. Retired now and want to reload some 30-30 and others. It’s a fun hobby and fits those of us who focus on the details.

Modern Craftsman is crap, has been for almost 20yrs.

I do love the old equipment, my first press was an an old herter's number 5? But that's an awful lot of work for handgun rounds. I could see if it was for a bench rest rifle, or long range tactical use.

Very well articulated and valuable information, keep on reloading

The AMT Autoscale was my first electronic powder measure. I still have the unit, but rarely use it now.

This was really interesting. I'm in the UK and struggling get factory ammunition for my most accurate rifle. To make the most of it I really need .25MOA which is what I had from Norma but they've now discontinued the round, though I did see some identical but not in name at Midway guns,but no information on it in the UK.

Can barely hear you with volume turned up to “11”! Unwatchable!

You are now a UA-cam star. I Love it Brian. A bread will be shipped from TN soon. Wish I could still come visit in person. FYI I'm trying to get my reloading room set up here now, and will send pics at some point. Lots of stuff still hiding in tots, ugh. I think your wife's pic should be up behind you not Ms Welch. LOL Missing you and a few in Cali

One thing that was passed down thru my family is the word imonna, and its prohibition Momma told me to make up my bead and the muttering of the prohibited word got me hit across the head with a baking pan. Many years my grandson spoke the same word when instructed to finish the homework. There was nearby an unused bicycle tire, when applied to the back of the knee prophesy was fulfilled.

In used to love being asked by the teacher to sharpen the pencils when I was a kid. (55 years ago)

Couldnt agree more.

Picked up a 1960's-ish Lyman S-T that was pretty rough for a song. Disassembled it, cleaned it, reassembled and lubed. And BAM... she's my go-to press! Nothing wrong with old-school tools. As you said... when, when men build tools to last!

You do a great job of encouraging the basics first. I started loading on a gently used Bonanza single stage 45+ years ago. I got my first Dillon square deal b years later then a 550. I have mentored several young folks and one or two not so young to take up reloading. I love all aspects of crafting my own ammo. Thanks for doing a great job teaching slow and steady basics first

Where u located

The National reloading association used to have plans for a reloading bench. I think you can still find them online. I have a digital copy

Great explanation on starting out reloading. Been reloading 50 years and still using a turret press. Don't trust high speed progressive presses . By using my turret press I can and do inspect each round multiple times during the process. To me the most important thing is preparing the brass . I remove spent primers with a universal de primer, then do a sonic wash. Rinse in distilled water to prevent spotting and allow to dry. Then I re-size and flare the mouth of straight walled cases. Then I tumble in a corn Cobb media until bright. Then I check each primer pocket and inspect each case before primer installation. I generally do 500 rounds at a time so this takes about 4 hours. Then the fun begins--- I prime the case, wife adds powder, granddaughter sears bullet, granddaughter #2 checks each round in a sizing tool, grandson boxes them, granddaughter #3 labels the boxes and puts them on the shelf. 500 rounds in 1 hour. So basically we average about 100 rounds and hour start to finish.

Started with a Lee Loader kit and a mallet, for 38 Special. Learned a lot over the years, but certainly don't know it all.

I started down this rabbit hole 50 odd years ago with a Lee loader to start with to save money. I can say with out a doubt there is no bottom to the hole . what an amazing adventure

I have a question if you don't, (I have load shotgun shells and pistol since 1978) I have never loaded anything for a rifle. I have some 223 that I need to load. Does the bullet need to touch or compress the powder. I was looking at one of the load data With a powder That I have. It was showing 3.8 grains in the 223 shell and a 55 grain bullet. I was looking at powders, they were calling for 18-28 grains. Beings I have never loaded rifle shells , I thought I had better ask someone that knows if that would be a typeO. The 3.8 gr sounds like a 380 auto round.

great overview - appreciate you.

Outstanding -- sage advice, and very well stated. Thank you!

Found it on Amazon. Thanks :)

got to look for that book now, thanks for the great videos

Thankfully the same side as the loading port.

Good post😊 best wishes for you as well.

Awesome information!

Good information. Thank you😊

How important is percentage of case fill, and percentage of powder burnt by bullet exit?

Thanks for doing these videos, lots of interesting and useful info. 👍

What caliber did Jack Webb use? I want that load!

Bird caught the squirrel getting in his nest at his eggs😂

Seems to me follow up shots are important too.

Based.
