I've been a master reloader and bullet caster for over 30 years. I don't watch TV, play the radio, or let anyone talk to me while I am doing it. I'm "that" focused when I am doing it and mistakes are costly! You can't possibly be the best with all kinds of distractions going on. I see it all the time with other peoples squibs, KABOOMs, FTF, FTE and various other problems.
Thanks for the info on the 62gr bullets! I order 1000. I got 1000 from Bob's but they were 55gr. When I worked in the coal mine in 1970's an old man told me "easy on the steady". You could work like a fool for an hour, or you could work steady all day! Great video!
I think one of my favorite feelings is when I'm sitting at the press. Just me and my components and no distractions. Another great video to help people.
You used the word cadence which is exactly the correct word. A personal rhythm or step by step process is a certain way to accomplish a task to ensure success. Veering away from a personal cadence can be risky especially when reloading.
Same Thing Only Different. in the competition field of Reloaders, We call it our ZEN TIME. Only music without words and use your mantra while reloading.
Here's another fun tip from A.P. Reloading. If you drill a bunch of 1 1/8th inch holes into a plank of wood, you can put your dies in them. Pic of one on my channel under community tab
Thanks Elvis, yes consistency is very important. I load the same way every time myself. Also, load by my self and without music or radio in the background.
Great video Elvis. I had brought this topic up in one of my live streams. Talking about learning that fill of your press is very important for making consistent ammunition. Great video brother. Echo
You get in the zone and you just have it together. Everything works and your super focused on loading your rounds. That's why I don't listen to music or talk to anyone. I like to be away from everyone. I turn the music on when I'm cleaning up or casting bullets or powder coating. I usually am able to size my bullets before the next batch comes out of the oven. Happy Safe Shooting 🇺🇸💪.
Everything that you just said is a perfect example of how people reload. They have all of their nuances. They do the same thing over and over. Music, no music.Sometimes we just want to hear the mechanics of how everything is working how we see things, how you feel things, what everything sounds like. This is how we know everything is working perfectly. Great to hear from you brother. Hope everything is going great for you!👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊
@@elvisammo You are a hard-working guy. I always start my day out on the back porch, while it is still dark and silent, sipping my coffee, always too hot to just gulp down. it is time that I get my daily thoughts together and take some of my me-time. every time I don't, I regret it later on during the day.
Nice video Elvis, nothing better than being in "the zone" whether you are casting bullets, loading ammunition or priming cases. Another good video giving new and old timers something to learn from.
Great tip there, Mr.Ammo! Gotta get in the zone and focus. I try to not have too many distractions going on, but sometimes you can't avoid them. Thanks for sharing 👊👍🇺🇸
Hay Elvis my scale like that started losing its tar. It wood not return to zero off by same amount every time tried new batteries I had ordered it before seeing your video on it ! Works good for for about 10 minutes the have to recalibrate !! Any way I liked it so good I ordered another with 3 years warranty lol !! Hope your still having good luck with yours !! Carry on brother ( :
Did you order it recently? I’ve not been able find the same one that reads with decibel then single digit (tenths) instead of double digit tenths and 100. It can be distracting. If so send me a link?
Yeah pretty much fill in the blank. I like cadence. But some of it is more than that. I know how to do it. I just don’t know what to call it! 😝 working your magic? There’s another one! 👍👍👍
I read your reply again and was thinking you wanted double digit tenths but you are saying that it can be distracting trying to satisfy the very last number past the decimal in grains yeah but I never thought of it that way now you have implanted something in my head that didn’t bother me LOL 😆
It’s my favorite pan and I can’t remember where I got it. I can’t believe no one has ever asked me about it. Now I need to find it. Seems like it came from Lee. I’ll get back to you on that
I'm just getting into powder coating bullets and I'm hearing some talk about gun powder breaking down the powder coat. I like to load up several thousand rounds and shoot then over the year. Have you had any issues if you don't shoot your reloads for like 6 months?
Hey widman I ordered from (elecking mall ) off eBay the 20 mg calibration hoping the same I may have made a bad if u can tell something let me know thanks for what you do. : ). Could not figure out proper link : (
That’s actually a good question. Some folks don’t use the cantelure they insist on crimping it elsewhere. They get better accuracy with a different overall length. I believe it’s the place where the bullet designer thinks it should be crimped? May be based on there load data. It may also be a place to crimp the bullet without distorting it. Also it is designed to crimp so that the bullet doesn’t slip out or in. Our semi auto loaders are pretty aggressive. That part should be observed for sure in my opinion. Good question. I may not have fully answered it even. This would probably make for a good video on its own.👍

Good advice!! 👍👍
The older you get the more you need to stay in that "no distraction" zone. The mind does not want to multitask when you get older.
Yep for sure. That happens too. Sometimes it’s just about having patience. Sometimes patients don’t work very well either!👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think one of my favorite feelings is when I'm sitting at the press. Just me and my components and no distractions. Another great video to help people.
Yep it can be a way of release. I definitely enjoy when the process really gets going… now go punish some steel! 😁😳👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
We always love Elvis ammo Mo Jo 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊😁

It might be one of the most important parts!👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

In the zone Consistency thanks man

Indeed. Repetition repetition repetition.
What’s that again! 😝😁👊yep repetition
Nice! Everyone has their own mojo. Your videos are great.
I keep a clean reloading table. That’s my first rule.
You explain things very very well. I learn so much from you.
Thankya Hans! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for all you do
Thanks Brian!!! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Elvis, yes consistency is very important. I load the same way every
time myself. Also, load by my self and without music or radio in the background.
i think you get in to a routine with anything makes it easier
👍👍👍

Elvis, I have known you long enough to say, Your "MoJo" starts with a cup of Maxwell House. hehehe.. Dave
Nothing like a cup of jo with mo!!! You know me well!!! Max- Well! 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁hey Thorsaxe

Im way older and it was called cadence way back then but MOJO will work too lol.

Makes sense.
You're a machine Elvis, a reloading machine.
I like that little pan you have on the scale - any idea where to get one?
They came with balance beam scales
It’s my favorite pan and I can’t remember where I got it. I can’t believe no one has ever asked me about it. Now I need to find it. Seems like it came from Lee. I’ll get back to you on that
more testing on the 62 grainer by the looks of it. next video?
Yep… it’s got more twists than twizzlers! 👍👍

When you shoot what you load you can't he any distractions.
Did your 4 station lee press come with the powder, primer and lead droppers ?
Hey widman I ordered from (elecking mall ) off eBay the 20 mg calibration hoping the same I may have made a bad if u can tell something let me know thanks for what you do. : ). Could not figure out proper link : (
Where did you go?
What's the purpose of a bullet having a cantalore?
To have a place to grip for the crimp to lock onto
@@flyingled3176

Yes, I'd love to see a video on that.
Good stuff. Consistency is everything.
