Thanks Scotsman. I am planning on doing a few more simple videos. Probably a few of new versions of my older ones that were too long. More reloading stuff but also firearm videos too.
I powder coat them then size them if they are pistol caliber bullets. I powder coat, gas check, then size, if they are rifle bullets. Some high velocity or magnum pistol bullets should be gas checked too but I keep mine in lower pressure and velocity territory and the powder coat does well to keep the leading down without a gas check.
I find that the Lee sizer dies are the easiest and quickest way to seat gas checks, and they're always seated squarely, evenly, and firmly. Before sizing, I spray with some Dillon case lube, which works fine. Then I use a more conventional sizer-lubricator (RCBS, Lyman, SAECO) to apply lube to the lube groove. This two step process takes a bit more time, but I enjoy all phases of the reloading process, and I am never in a hurry, so I don't mind. I get excellent results by this process.
@@johnshandloading7907 Now days with the use of powder coat , I don't gas check anymore . Some rifles will shoot a gas check style bullet , without a check just fine as long as it is powder coated and the alloy matches the velocity . I've even went so far as to remove the gas check portion of the mold to make a flat base bullet for those rifles that prefer a flat base .... Now I'm into zinc bullets for even more cast bullet velocity without even needing powder coat or gas checks . IMO a flat base mold used with a zinc alloy is the ultimate for a long range cast bullet .
I normally run these through both ways. Reverse them and re-run them again if they are not spritzers. NOE makes a swagger die that you can use both ways spitzer or not . Check it out. It uses the top punch for each projectile.
He is always so quick I can't fathom it. He watches and comments as quick as possible. I appreciate it but MAN he has blazing speed. Thanks for watching and commenting Jamie!
keep up the good basics videos these are great for new and even those seasoned reloaders who may need refreshers

Thanks for sharing! I need to get to work on this. Got some lead waiting for this.

Afternoon John!
Hello, "Blazing thumbs Longshot" you are always on top of what is going on, I love it! I hope you are doing well man.
Good video John 👍🇺🇸
Thanks Jesse. I hope to do a few helpful videos. Trying to keep them short and informative.
that's my goto for gad checkin 👍
Yes, they work great and were the standard for years. I like them for all my sizing.
When I used gas checks , that is how I did it also .
I only gas check my rifle bullets but I like the way they perform with a gas check. For low velocity, powder coated bullets it is overkill.

Morning still works great 👍 thanks for sharing
Yes I like them. I use them for all my bullet sizing. Powder coat, then size. Good stuff.
Another great video. Echo
Thanks Echo. Keep smiling man.
My wife also says you can never use to much lube ! 😁

Hey Buddy! CW beat me! Arg!😂🤠

@@johnshandloading7907 it’s great to see you, Brother. I’ll be in touch with you soon.
@@jh5869 I look forward to it. Nice to hear from you.
John, you wouldn't be on a certain other site would you ?
I don't put much on there. Insta - same name
