You can also find good information on long range loading for accuracy on the Sniper's Hide forums. Look in the reloading section.
Sorry if this is a bit dry and long, I’m trying to be thorough.
Excellent information. Thanks 👍
That tapered edge on any punched and formed medium is called the kerf.

Great information. Thank you for your videos.
I find the information very informative , I'm working on a cartridge for the AR-10 platform using a 44 Caliber bullet and 30-06 brass.
That is pretty much how I load my BPCR ammo. Where I differ is that I don't size the bullets unless I have to, and if I do I use a Lee bottom feed sizing die that I know is the correct diameter. I have experienced nose distortion from the top feed sizing dies. Neither of my C. Sharps or Shiloh Sharps have that much free bore that I can seat the GG Bullets with the GGs exposed unless I were to use a reduced diameter front 2 or 3 or bands. I have been experimenting with the two diameter PP bullets at 1:16 getting promising results. Today I shot some Matt's Bullets 215gr .430 #2 alloy from a 1985ish Winchester 1892 and got better accuracy with it behind Red Dot than I did any of my Shiloh or C. Sharps guns this summer. Both at 200 yards. Go figure. This winter I am going to try casting some of the 45-70 GG bullets out of Lyman #2 to test with. Nice video I found it useful to know I'm not far off the traveled trail.
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent!
Thanks for the video! great information for the precision shooter also nice to watch how someone else loads thanks
Nice idea with the target boards. Most of what I’ve seen is 1.5 Swiss. How did you arrive at 2 F and in what rifle? What does the plastic wad do for accuracy? When you say bell do you mean flair or crimp? Ok. So you’re using a sizing die to create tension on the bullet. Nice.
I noticed that several of the top shooters were using 2F Swiss. Supposedly it gives you a little extra velocity, but my chronograph has yet to bear that out… All my powder gets ordered from Buffalo Arms.
@@RecoilTherapyChannel Which rifle are you loading for? And why the plastic wads?
@@dogbone1358 i’m loading for the CPA 45-90. Plastic wads are made by the same company that makes Walter wads. Lots of guys use them. I didn’t know if they would work any better than the fiber wad,but I did a big test, and for some reason the plastic wad on top of the fiber wad worked well with my rifle.
Which issue is the magazine article in?

The parchment paper is a great idea and I understand the want of a card wad to keep powder separated. But I dont understand why such a wad stack when you have to compress your powder to make it fit. Can you explain that to me or point me to a video that explains it? Thanks.
@@dougdukes1039 the OAL drives the whole equation here…the idea is to seat the bullet into the lands about .030”. Next thing is that you need a minimum of .060” fiber wad to prevent gas cutting of the base. Then…lots of people have shown an accuracy improvement by adding an .060” LDPE wad over the fiber wad, and finally, I like the parchment wad to insure a clean release from the base of the bullet. The compression is just a byproduct of all this.
@@RecoilTherapyChannel OK, thanks. So, where did the information of a .060 fiber wad to prevent gas cutting come from?
@@dougdukes1039 it’s on the Shiloh forum.
@@RecoilTherapyChannel Thanks
I don't have room for all of that equipment!!!! Nor money. Guess this is a rich man's game. And, frankly.....the time. But I love the concept. I can load and shoot, casually, but not to this level.
@@jason60chev you can do it.
Still dont have the space for everything that you show. Besides. My happy a$$ will be in Iraq for the next 2-3 years. Can't believe that I will have spent nearly 20 years over here, by then. Should have been able to retire a few years ago, but am still here. Ugh! @RecoilTherapyChannel
What bullet mold are you using?
Also, do you get your lead from Rotometals? Can you tell me what lead mixture you use? Thanks!
@@marktcso my alloy is 96-2-2. You can make it by mixing pure lead with Lyman #2 in about a 55-45 ratio. A lead alloy calculator like the one on the Cast Boolit forum will give the exact amount. My bullet I’m using is this one from Buffalo Arms…

Thank you sir!
i think the electronic back issues only go back to like 2015 or so when steve sold it.
