That’s absolutely crazy. The patients and precision needed for it is astounding . I salute you sir. Would be nice to see some more of these videos. Also , factory vs hand load accuracy tests. Even just targets to see the improvement. That’s wild 🙏. You got a new subscriber, hope to see you on my side too cheers 🍻
🤯Pretty Amazing Russ on your patience Alone had No Idea one could even do this with these rounds. I would imagine you found it is worth going through this process and worth the time and concentration .Would be great to see results down Range. Thanks for Sharing !👍🏻🤯✌🏻
@nopro5433 Thank you! The accuracy, speed increase, and consistency are insane, and under 500 yards in calm wind, my custom 17HMR rifle with these loads is as accurate as my competition centerfire rifles. I have probably 30 pictures of 5 shot groups at 450 yards (my home range length) between 1-1.5 inches, with a few under 1 inch. A bad day in calm wind is 3-4 inch groups. Maybe I will throw together a vid shooting from 100-450 yards with the loads... 🤔
@@russellreed9995that would be awesome if you could do a vid like you mentioned, thanks for showing this process I’d never seen it done before before, very interesting stuff, cheers Yogi ✌️subbed 🤙
I started reloading 22 LR in 2015. That process is more involved because of the heeled hollow base bullet which is crimped in a very different way. I had to learn to make molds for the bullets. Make swaging dies for the bullets. Make crimping dies. Make primer. Determine what powder to use etc.
When outside turning the case neck, you suggest that makes the neck wall uniform thickness, but I didn't spot a mandrel to keep the inside diameter concentric with the modified chuck's turning axis, so I don't get how it accomplishes that. Can you please explain?
This might work for 9mm Flobrt rounds in the EU, need to find the commercial source for the primer mix and then determine the type and weight of the powder load as well as the payload.
Maybe I missed it, but any particular reason to tear down new factory loaded rounds instead of just using once fired brass? Seems like that would be a big cost savings since you’re completely stripping down the cartridge anyway. Cheers, and super interesting video to watch! Shared a link to it as a post on my page as well.
This is a demonstration. You would go through these steps, for once fired cases. You can buy bullets in bulk, powder in bulk. Empty cases by the hundreds/thousands. Besides what else is there to do, in your makeshift b💣mb shelter? Just Sit and hope the next nuke dosen't hit your neighborhood? Time is Relevant to all things. You may place your time and interests elsewhere. I have expended hundreds of hours on stones worth thousands. But only a select few, can appreciate the Rarity and effort, to the point of Eagerly handing over $$$$$$ , for a One of a kind (Natural) Gemstone. Most people dont care. Most consumers will spend tens of dollars for pieces of glass, that pretend to come from nature, and be happy. Cheers! Enjoy life!😁
Hey bud, thanks for the share! I do reload spent brass as well, and will make another video on that this winter, repairing cases for reloading. The reason I use new brass, is often I do not get more than 3 loads on 17HMR brass. It is so thin, that even with annealing, im pushing these loads way beyond what they were designed for. So, with constantly having to replace brass, instead of losing 1 of 3 firings with the factory load, I strip them down.
@85adema These dies were made for me by a sponsor, and since then I have made a few of my own for some rimfire wildcats. I have considered making some as I know a number of guys that would buy em in a heartbeat if available.
I reload pistol, rifle & shotgun ammo. As for anything rimfire , no thanks . Just not worth the time & effort , certainly not cost effective. But nice to see the process in your video footage.
I did, there was a series called "unlimited rimfire" I used to shoot, and there was a class for each rimfire cartridge. This year I had a ton of health challenges and was unable to compete.
The spent cases will have no primer....plus a dent to be removed. A practical method of spinning the primer into that rim, and the compound itself is difficult to obtain. This is great but almost useless knowledge. Stock up on ammo instead of reloading stuff for rimfire. This is not practical at all
It is only for extreme precision and for ELR shooting, not for use in plinking or hunting. I will be releasing a video this winter of repairing fired cases for reloading.
Not cost and time effective at all, unless you value performance gains over factory ammo by a huge margin- shooting for extreme precision and ELR. It may seem pointless, the gains are worth it.
So in effect he is responsible for damage and injury because he refused to share a decent powder choice and starting point so we have to blow our guns up like he did to try and figure it out? His logic is so backwards, he must be a democrat! I mean seriously, even the powder name?
Yeahhhh no that's not how that works. If he did and somone ended up getting hurt then they can sue him for putting out bad information. There's a reason most UA-camrs in the reloading sphere tell you NOT to use their data only book data. And when where dealing with something like this which is SUPER into the far off side of things of reloading...well
As theblacktrapper said, if someone follows my recipe and is injured, i am responsible and they have the right to sue me. I dont know any serious reloaders that will share borderline loads that are outside safe specs. Call me whatever you want, doesn't make you look good to anyone reading your comment.
@@TheBlackTrapper I have powder tables for 22lr. Be careful. If you use fast powder like Red Dot or Bullseye one grain is enough to start with to work up loads. But I don't use fast powders. There is a lot to study ...lots of variables.

@ fair enough, and thanks for the explanation! Always fascinating to watch precision rimfire reloading
What type of fps are you getting to make it reach over 1000yrds
If he owns the gun, he will have a fired casing, that way we can see him repair the rim before loading!
I will be making a video this winter showing my process of reloading and repairing my fired cases :-)
I'm interested in reloading 17 HMR. Where did you get the reloading dies for 17HMR? Did you make it yourself?

Just watching this is incredibly relaxing.
Doesn't that rapid spinning cause the primer solution to climb up the inside of the case wall.??
Do you use your 17 for some type of match shooting?

There are many methods of getting primer into the rim. Eley has developed a new method and has abandoned the spin (centrifugal) method.
Very good information and instructions, but please pull back on the camera/phone. You were way-to-close.
I agree, I was trying a new lens and it didnt work out. My next reloading vid will go back to my tried and true method i used previously.
Definitely not cost and time effective.
Wildcats never are, and we really don't mind.

Centerfire not rimfire.
