Do it. I reload 7.62x54R, 7.7x58mm Japanese 6.5x50mm Japanese, 7.92x57mm Mauser, 6.5x55mm Swedish, 9x19mm Luger, 7.62x25mm Tokarev, .30-06, 5.56x45mm NATO. For odd ball cartridges it's a must!
I really enjoyed this episode. I'm coming up on my first year with my Lee single stage breech lock. At this time I reload 9MM, 380 ACP & 32 ACP. But, I barter with friends for 223. Rem & 300 Blackout. A lot of people think a 380 ACP feminine load, but with a Speer Gold Dot JHP & a +P load thru a 16 -20 " barrel. To end: when you seat a new primer in check with your thumb to see if your primer fully seated the Lee Press has had problems with that.
Surplus gun builds and reloading?... BFP... Will you be my long lost questionably legal Uncle? Good video by the way. I still have my Lee single stage because I'm too much of a cheap bastard to get a D750XL but I've loaded easily 10,000rds on it. Side note will you do videos on reloading 5.45×39mm using 5.56×45mm brass?
Welcome back! I agree, but I started with a progressive, the Lee Pro 1000 in .45 ACP. I had TOO MANY things to learn at the same time! Part of the issue was just not even knowing the terms. I encountered problems with priming, and so I eventually moved that process off to a single stage. Right now, as I'm really learning 7.62x25 and .32 ACP, I have TWO single stage presses set up.
Looking to get in to reloading, both pistol (9, 40, and 10) and rifle (5.56, 270, various .30s, and 350) cases. For rifle, I am thinking of doing two press set-up assembly. First would be a single stage to decap, then tumble, then back to the single stage to neck size, following with a trimmer. Changing neck sizing dies to match caliber. Second press would be a progressive set up to prime, charge, seat bullet, and crimp neck. Changing the turret with dedicated dies mounted for each particular caliber. Buying a new caliber components and turret set up each year until I have what I need to load for the rifles I have. Would Lee's loadmaster progressive be acceptable for a budget minded, able to grow set-up?
Hello I’m new to reloading , I have a Hornady classic single stage press to start out with and i just bought an apex 10 that i want to use for 10 mm. I followed the same logic that you indicated your video so keep up I the good work
@@BabyFaceP Speaking of it was a police SMG for a fair bit. How's the barrel? I've heard of H&K made MP5 barrels going 200,000rds but I have no idea how true that is. Also can roller lock guns feed +P safely?
I would recommend Lee Turret as first press, much faster reloading than single stage press and price is not much higher than single stage, but I have started with dillon 550 and bought single stage for precision ammo, cause I have really good deals for both
this is a good a video BUT.....turret press. the hybrid of single stage and progressive. i can doo 240 - 300 rounds an hour on a LCT with reverse rotation kit.
I started with a Lee Hand Loader then moved to a Lee single stage for when 45/70's were $25 a box! I haven't used it in a while, it's a lot of work, and I still have plenty! You're right it's pretty hard to screw up with a single stage. One more thing is if you're not a fisherman or you don't have patience keep buying your ammo. If you want to shoot then "Learn to Load not Code" Thank you.
@@BabyFaceP Mine ended up a couple times against a wall! Fortunately they made them tough! LOL! Again thanks Patrick. PS. Yeah reloading videos are good because of newbies and people like me that need a refresher. That and the powder charts I got are ancient history. I was using 60 grams of Nitro Powder with a 350 grain hollow point with a my 45/70. I don't know if Nitro is still used.
Here's the press that I started with- bit.ly/3lyIgL0
And the Dies to go along with it- bit.ly/2EFswVW
I use progressive for all my semi autos .223,9mm ect...
I use single stage for revolvers and bolt guns .357, 308 ect...
I have a ton of non standard caliber rifles. I REALLY need to get into reloading.
Do it. I reload 7.62x54R, 7.7x58mm Japanese 6.5x50mm Japanese, 7.92x57mm Mauser, 6.5x55mm Swedish, 9x19mm Luger, 7.62x25mm Tokarev, .30-06, 5.56x45mm NATO. For odd ball cartridges it's a must!
Yes, more reloading info. I’ve considered it for years.
Thanks
Good stuff BFP

Cool video. Love my XL750.
How's the newer 750? Worth upgrading?

Thanks for the insight. Very helpful.
B face I found out about you on hank’s channel, seen every episode
So... Would a 4 hole turret press be a happy medium? I was kind of thinking of starting there for 9mm and .223 (I shoot a bunch of those).
If money is tight-ish, go for one of those 4 hole presses, if you have the funds go straight for a Dillon.
9mm on a Dillion would be sweet! Please do that video!
Absolutely will. We'll have to feed the MP5 when it's build.

California prohibits internet ammunition buys, so California gun shops have less competition... hello reloading hobby!

How do i make 762/39 from 303 British
I’ve got the Dillon 650 xl it’s definitely a game changer

I totally forgot but I had a handloader too. No idea where that thing ended up.

I got my Dillon 2 years ago to mainly load butt loads of 9 & 45. I’d interested in starting to load 223 & 300 at some point.
yo, how do I install a lower tang ak but stock for a milled receiver
Could you do a video on how many bullets you can reload with 1lb of gunpowder for pistols
Easy answer, 1lb has 7000gn. So take your powder charge and divide 7000 by it.
@@BabyFaceP thanks this definitely helps
👍
Started with a Lee hand press
