@Barleas - thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

Hello Francisco! If no crimp is needed, set your seating plug to seat the projectile at the appropriate COAL and call it good. Let me know if you have any other questions. 👍🏻 you can use this video as a reference. ua-cam.com/video/ktUftCmF_2k/v-deo.htmlsi=u9dOoHRL5-1ReH7g

@k2defense Thank you. I'm kinda new, and there's so much I question things I do after drives me crazy lol

@franciscoortiz9730 - no worries! We’re all here to help! 👍🏻

How can I check the crimp on my rifle loads to make sure they are ok, I don't want pressure issues

@jonleone777 - can’t say that I reload many of these.

@bryandouglas507 - please review this video. It’s the same set up for 5.56/.223 as it is for .308. ua-cam.com/video/ktUftCmF_2k/v-deo.htmlsi=UxrEAODkEctnhC7u You’ll need to feed the projectile into the mouth of the die in order for the projectile to not slip sideways. Let us know if you need further assistance. Also, keep us posted. I’d like to see if your issue clears up for you. 👍🏻

@jonpetry7314 - no, should be smooth and no rattle. I’d take it into your local gun smith. Should be an easy fix. 👍🏻

@doghousedon1 - true ol’ schooler! Great advice, especially those on a tight budget. Thanks for the comments! 👍🏻

@nvhs1 - that’s great to hear! I don’t like struggling so it makes me happy to hear when our videos help others! Thanks for the comment! Cheers! 👍🏻

@jerremm - thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

@R_K_S2401 - yes, the trigger is serrated. Not quite sure what you mean by classic line up? Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

Thanks for that information! 👍🏻

@Lucysdad66 - There are two different reloaders, ones that have had a stuck case and those that will at some point. Glad you made it this long without a mishap. 😄👍

I guess it's like concrete you have cracked concrete and concrete that's going to crack.

@Lucysdad66 makes sense. Thanks for the explanation! 👍🏻

@buckshot4428 - for liability reasons I cannot give suggested load data to my audience. 13 grains of Lil Gun powder in this cartridge, you’ll find that it is a compressed load. It does have a higher velocity. For me personally, the only issue I’ve had using this load data is that the case life is shortened. I usually only get a couple of reloads before case head separation when ejecting the case. Leaving a portion of the case stuck in the chamber. It appears that there is an increased bulge in case head area, more than when using a reduced powder load. Which makes sense because the cases for this type of ammo are thinner compared to the K Hornet. Let me know if this information was helpful. Happy to dialog more if need be! 👍🏻

Appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

Appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

Yea ! That’s a smart A$$ comment on my part; but ‘have first hand witnessed WIT-less individuals bad mouthing the practice because of a lack of common sense, low observation and failure to follow instructions. Good demo!

Appreciate the comments! 👍🏻

Hey @nathant3897 - really it wouldn’t hurt but as far as accuracy, that’s a great question. For me I don’t think I’d add that as another cleaning or as a third cleaning. Once to knock off and dirt so it doesn’t get into your resizing die, and once after you resize, trim, debur, etc. does that make sense? Wish I could give you a solid answer as far as accuracy. Maybe one of our competition shooters will chime in and give us their thoughts. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

@rickyjones7013 - awesome! Welcome to the world of reloading! 👍🏻

@mouhunter - great information! Do you need to plug the bottom (or the top since it’s up side down) of the die to keep the wax from flowing through and spilling all over the place?

@PassivePortfolios - the K Hornet has a nearly 9% increase in case capacity. It has a case decrease in case taper (bigger case) and shorten neck. Because of this, the case life increases. Most load data states there is approximately an increase of 100 to 150 feet per second (fps) gain in velocity. Thus making the K Hornet more accurate. Which, in my opinion is amazing since the standard Hornet is already extremely accurate. For me personally, both are easy to reload. 👍🏻

@@k2defense Good info on the K-Hornet, thanks. It should be a factory loading.

@Mm-ik9uq - thanks for the feedback! 👍🏻

Well, what’s it mean? Small base. Thx

@00000012345 - small base is used for rifle cases. It is typically used for semi auto rifles. You can get away with full length dies. For me I have had good luck with small base dies. Some will say it shortens the life of the case. Hope this explains it for you. 👍🏻

@@k2defense Thank you very much, appreciate the info.

@michaelhayes7471 - appreciate the pointer for powder coating! 👍🏻

@perspicator5779 - appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

@routerider9542 - my very first stuck case I found the RCBS “kit”. Back then it was around $10. I was super excited and showed it to my father-in-law that’s been reloading longer than I’ve been alive. He showed me his technique like the one you mentioned. He said the same thing as you. 👍🏻

@steel440 carbide dies can break if you cam over. There’s a carbide insert that could crack. Typical rule of thumb is to only cam over on steel dies. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

@k2defense Ahh, got it! Thank you. Maybe I didn't notice because I never used very much cam over on pistol dies. Now that I know I'll readjust my resizing dies

@steel440 awesome! Glad I could help! 👍🏻

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing! Thank you for your service! 🫡🇺🇸

Appreciate the comment! Glad it helped! 👍🏻

Personal preference. I have zero issues doing both at the same time. Others struggle with it and choose to do them in two separate steps. Those that don’t struggle, just prefer to do it in two separate steps. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

@k2defense it's very helpful. I figured that it was a matter of preference rather than some right or wrong, black or white scenario. Thanks for your perspective 👍

👍🏻

Cool! Keep us posted on your progress! Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking?

@@k2defense Iceland actually, I've had my gun and hunting licenses for a couple of years now and reloading seems like such a fun hobby... since I don't have a lot of time for hunting or target shooting while I have a young child around😂

@Liliththelizard awesome! Glad to see we’re reaching more and more people! Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

Take your time, read reloading manuals, watch videos and keep a journal! Pay attention to detail and you should be fine. It can be intimidating but once it clicks, you’ll love it! Good luck! 👍🏻

@louisle4886 - reloading is not for everyone. It can get expensive and time consuming. For me, it's therapeutic. I really enjoy making things and working with my hands. I can dial my ammo into exactly what I need and know I'll have consistency when I squeeze the trigger. 👍

@budjohnson2990 - Appreciate the comment! 👍

@neilbeeson1406 - Yes, I forgot to add to chamfer/deburr step. Thank you for pointing that out! 👍

@jameswoods5102 - Here you go! ua-cam.com/video/euZl_mPOEkQ/v-deo.htmlsi=2zoyFXrW-v_RwdeI 👍

Are you looking for a neck sizing video instead of full length resizing?

Gotcha! I’ll put that on my list to do! 👍🏻

Sorry I accidentally deleted your response. I do not have a video but will be working on that in the future. There are videos out there that explain it pretty well if you’re in a hurry. 👍🏻

@robertulmer5886 - There's more than one way to get to Chicago! 👍😁

A screw extractor would not work because it relies on the thing being removed having a thread.

@petersorensen1453 - Really appreciate the "Super Thanks"! 👍

@joniasikainen9925 - I do not lube my shells since it is a straight walled case and my dies are carbide. You have your die set incorrectly. Watch this video. Different caliber but same set up. If that doesn't fix it, let me know and we'll work through it together. 👍 ua-cam.com/video/XaTmluSL4Ls/v-deo.htmlsi=xfs4fRzX1MoiWvQQ

@@k2defense I used Dillon Case Lubricant for cases and they didnt stuck aymore for the expander dies plug. I have Lees simple reloading press

I think you have it set too deep, meaning the die is too low then trying to expand at the same time is causing the case to wrap around the expander plug. Back out the die a bit and lower just the expander plug. Hope this makes sense. 👍🏻

@@k2defense Thank you, I will try that soon. I ´ve new N340 powder which need to be tested with heavy bullets in 357mag

@joniasikainen9925 let us know how it goes! 👍🏻

@rodrigorezende7377 - Are you asking about expanding the case mouth?

@@k2defense I’m starting in .308 reloading, but i already do another calibres my Redding Dies has a neck sizing. I’ll recharge 5.56 that don’t need the resize in AR-15 platform and a .308 in Bolt action that becames interesting

@rodrigorezende7377 - 👍🏻

@bryanrabel5081 - Yup born in SD, raised in ND! 😂 👍🏻

@neversummer160 - really appreciate the comment! 👍

@RuralRoute3 - appreciate the comment! 👍

I’ve never tried but I don’t see why you couldn’t bake it dry? Give it a whirl and let us know what you come up with! 👍🏻

Glad to hear! 👍🏻

Love it! 👍🏻
