I have been a reloader 38/357, really to understand the secret life of ammunition. My Dad and his family handloaded for hunting (.270 ). I got a few old rifles and saved my brass. Now I am venturing into hand loads ... 6.5 Swede . Your knowledge base and practible advice is confidence boosting. Excellent series. Thank you for posting.
I do hope you are feeling better. I’ve always considered myself by your definition as a handloader as opposed to a reloader although I’ve never really thought of it in that way. I’m reacquainting myself with the great .222 Remington and a Revelation model 225 in .222 that my Pop bought new from western auto back in 1964-65. I remember he had handloads that consistently shot dime size groups. This rifle is the first center fire rifle I ever shot at age five or six with his help and also the cartridge he started teaching me to hand load with. I have his notes and his old loading manuals but as you say bullet technology and component technology has come a long way even since the 1960s and 1970s when this rifle was last being used to a large degree and I’m beginning to search for new pet loads that produce the tightest and most consistent groups with current components. I sure do enjoy your videos.
This will be a good series. By your definition, I am a handloading reloader. My goal when I started was economy. That was decades ago. Economy is still a priority, but I've always sought better than average accuracy along with that. So one researches, learns, experiments and eventually attains that accuracy. If you're loading for a known cartridge (not a new wildcat) don't reinvent the wheel. Use the data available with powders listed, tweak from there. I'm pretty sure GB will cover that. Variables are many, some more important than others. My goal was to achieve 1/2 MOA with a load consistently duplicated in my progressive press for my bull barrel .223's on the AR platform. The goal has been met. Heckuva journey.
This comes in perfect timing because I’m looking in to getting in to reloading. You are one of the most trusted sources in my subscriptions. Thanks for the information.
Good for you. There's so much good stuff out there but so much garbage also. I learned a lot from him when I started a couple years ago, and it's been a blast, especially since he helps cut through the nonsense for beginners.
If you haven't already, buy the Nosler reloading manual or the Hornady reloading manual since they are the best resources in the field. Best of luck and remember to start with minimum loads and stay within the guidelines for each manual.
@@nmelkhunter1 they are great. But I would buy the hornady because Nosler publishes most of their data for free on the website. I return the favor by buying their products when I can. Hodgdon also provides free data that is very good, and very extensive. They now let you buy powder directly from your data results, it’s pretty slick. The most important thing to me is to look at all the data I can find to make decisions. I will say I have had crummy experiences with sierra’s data, even though I love their bullets.
My orange brittany is in my lap looking for Benny talking. Appreciate this series and how you build on what you've shared in the past. Your advice from previous years really helped me get going and not get too bogged down in excessive gear and superfluous steps.
You are certainly right about mount Washington. I have been there many times and you must be ready for anything. The highest wind speed on land ever recorded was there. 231 miles per hour. One night huddled in a shelter below the tree line it sounded like fighter jets taking off and kept us awake all night. The next day the caretaker told us that the wind was 100 miles an hour gusting to 120 on top. I look forward to this coming series sir.
Thank you Mr GB and sorry about the sinus / cold, hope you're feeling better by the time you read this. I'm about to start handloading for the 6.5 Grendel and .308 Winchester, and I'm glad you're talking about this. For the Grendel it's about availability of decent factory ammo, and for the .308 Win it's about learning to tailor the load to my rifle... which I'll learn for the Grendel in the process. I'd much rather listen to you on this than many other YT presenters. God Bless you, Mrs GB, Benny & your family. PS on Mt Washington -- back in the early 90s, I did a 3 day backpacking trip in the White Mtns with a friend from ME. The day we went up Mt Washington it was low 30s, blowing avg gusts of 30-35mph throwing rain sleet and snow sideways, so it felt like around 15 degrees. Visibility was absurd and the rock cairns were our guides. We got to the center up top, went in for hot soup and hot drinks, and by the time we'd finished (about 45 mins later) it was mid-50s and sunny, and we descended in shorts & t-shirts compared to fully bundled on the ascent. This was in early October if I recall correctly. I was in my early 30s back then, today I wouldn't enjoy the colder side of things as much.
I’ve had a cold for 5 days and it’s hanging on. Started with sinuses. Now it’s in my chest. Tired and foggy all the time. Glad you’re doing this series. Take care. Thank you
Too anyone with a cold or just feeling sick I always put hydrogen peroxide on a q tip put it up my nose a snort it a couple times. Get to feeling better sir, great dog!! Good video.
Thank you for inviting us into your home and sharing with us your knowledge and wisdom on a sport we find so in common and in life. May you get well soon and as always God Bless!
Firstly, my family and I are glad Benny's master is feeling better, captain! What's better than my wife and daughters learning how to make highly accurate ammo from me? My wife and daughters (and I) learning how to make it, from you! We will watch intently and even review this video series to make the best bolt-gun ammo that we can make. We have great components at our disposal to go along with the handloading knowledge that we will learn. We are all very blessed to have these instructional videos and please carry on sir!
Hi Gunblue, I hope you get better soon. That cold snap was something. I’m not too far from you here in NH and I recorded the coldest temperature I’ve ever seen at my home of -18.5 at 7am Saturday. I ended up having to replace the batteries in 3 out of 5 of our vehicles. The good news is spring is on the way. Planning to hit the range today and have a little fun with my M1A. Take care.
I’ve been so busy the last few months haven’t have much time for TV. I just logged on and seen this series and I just started watching I’m really looking forward to this. Have to have surgery at the end of March and I’m gonna have plenty of time to watch and get caught up. Thanks for the great, informative videos. God bless you!!!
Really looking forward to this series!!👍 ive seen many of your videos and they're all superb! I shoot rifle silhouette both highpower and smallbore and its been my passion for 30 years. So of course i handload and thoroughly enjoy all your valuable information! Now if you could only convince your viewers to have a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, that would be icing on the cake! She is the easiest path to our Lord Jesus Christ. God Bless you and wishing u a speedy recovery Mr. Blue!
I sincerely hope you continue to feel better, sir. This series has the making of being similar to another UA-camr I watch, sdkweber, and his Xtreme Reloading series. If you haven't seen his work, you may wish to give his channel and playlists a look. Reloading/handloading fascinates me and someday I hope to be able to join those of you who already do it.
I am so glad that you are doing this series, I am a reloader, and love to watch how everyone loads their ammo. Honestly I just like your videos, so I will enjoy it no matter what you did the video on. Hope u get to feeling better.
I can't wait, I love your stuff. Myself I finally took the plunge and bought a Savage 12FV in 6.5 Creedmoor that a buddy told me it wouldn't shoot. (How many times have you heard that) After a good scrubbing I was rewarded with 3/4" groups at 100 yards, not bad. Only problem is it's like your driven at that point to try to post even smaller groups so over the last 2 years not only have I been measuring headspace off the datum line off the shoulder but I converted an old Forrester trimmer into a neck turner. Annealing was the next step and seating depth, it just goes on and on. Interestingly enough I'm shooting a 120gr PPU (Privi) bullet that when bought in bulk sells for $.22 each. Well, if I do my part that Savage is posting 3/8" - 5 shot groups at 100 and I'm still learning. It's like a dog chasing it's tail.
I'm very interested though I haven't watched you much before. I handload only pretty much. I like a 7mm Ultra Mag and one post I saw a few years ago someone asked how you get accurate with such a large bullet jump? The commenter said 'runout'. If you get everything else right especially the case runout you'll have no problems. Kind of flies against where we've heard before. This should be good!
I loathe to correct you sir. You have taught me so much over the years and I really respect what you do. It's just that Grosvenor Wotkyns seems like someone you respect and I would want to know. I believe it is pronounced Grove-ner. I had a friend once with that name. Again, thank you for sharing your extensive expertise. I have teenage boys that are not so easy to talk to. Reloading has been a really great activity to learn together. Thank you again.
I can see from your tears how passionate you are - LOL. Seriously, this is going to be a great series. Thank you ! ! Eager to watch the rest of the series.
Would love to see belted magnums covered. Especially when the case won’t size back and won’t chamber no matter what you do. Thx!! Hardly wait for the series. !!!!!!
Since you said you were going to do some reading,,I just wanted to share one of my favorite parts: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Praying you get over this soon.
Just got 6.5prc and wow what a missle strike.! 147s@2910…factory..can’t wait to develop a bug hole load…Springfield waypoint carbon barrel and stock..my days packin heavy steel just went away like calgon…take me away..lol..hope ya feel better me and my cousin I work withs both got it too…love to visit mt Washington and Vermont…darn tough socks are my fav..
I’m excited for this series. Any chance you could address measuring from ogive to case head versus cartridge overall length? Also any info on shoulder bump and brass prep would be awesome. Thanks for the great videos
Just what the doctor ordered! I often throw a flyer or 2 in an otherwise tight group. Would like very much to hear your views on neck sizing vs. full length sizing. Get well soon!
I'm really looking forward to this series- I hope you are at least starting to feel better by now. I recently picked up a very clean Browning BLR Pre 81 in .358 Winchester, I believe it was manufactured sometime in the late 70's before I was even born. I'm looking at putting a low power 1-4x scope on it and I have 100 virgin Starline brass cases. This rifle may be a good contender for reloading as I follow this series.
Loving this, as I'm loading up some new Starline 30-06 cases. So far, I've got Hornady 125gr SST's getting about 2 MOA at 100 yds with peep sights, so hoping to keep the ammo more accurate than me.
Thank You so much for your knowledge and sharing it with others. My question is why in virtually every loading manual you can find 223 Remington however it is very difficult to fine 556 nato load data and when I do it is slightly different powder charges along with different powders. The same is true when loading 308 Winchester very easy to find load data but when loading 7.62X51 nato very limited data. Is there that much of a difference in these loads and is it possible to interchange them? Thank You
We had a funk right after Christmas that hung on for weeks, so hang in there, it'll pass. Looking forward to this series, and I am sure my dogs will be here to watch as well.
So looking forward to this series. Any chance of a video on triggers Mr blue? In depth on how they work, the proper poundage for the situation, and if aftermarket is worth it?

Unfortunately, pistol brass is too short and can never be safely annealed without losing essential hardness at the base. But, 44 Special brass has a very long life compared to the 44 Magnum.
Worthy Brother, back in 1990 thereabouts, I was driving as an owner/operator for N.A.V.L. hauling a critical load through northern Pennsylvania. It was -50 degrees "F." I stopped at a truck stop and fueled up. I asked them for some fuel conditioner and they said they didn't carry it because they mix kerosene into their diesel fuel. Oh boy. Many miles down the road my fuel waxed up and clogged the fuel filters. I was in the middle of nowhere. No lights anywhere along the highway and no traffic. If it hadn't been for my best friend (my dog), Thunderbutt, I would have froze to death. Now I know just how cold a well diggers azz is.

U r the g.o.a.t.
Get well soon. This is a good series!!
Very nice! I think over 200 mph winds up there also. Crazy place...
I thank you sir. Very much so.
Get well soon… this batch of flu is no fun ..!
Love this channel
Get well my UA-cam friend and mentor.
So looking forward to this series. Any chance of a video on triggers Mr blue? In depth on how they work, the proper poundage for the situation, and if aftermarket is worth it?
I just put that on my list. Thanks and God Bless.
@@GunBlue490 thank you sir!!
Keep out of that record setting cold GunBlue! I heard that news and immediately thought of you. We reached -62 at sinks site by my house a week ago.
This is going to be good 👍 God bless.
Although I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series, I'm from New Orleans originally and after watching this video all I want is a Central Market Muffuletta :)
Me too!
Can’t wait for more GunBlue!
Please feel better. Pat Benny for us.
How do you caracterized an accurate ammunition vs a super accurate?
I reveal that in the next episode.
I prefer reloading manuals showing the case fill in percentage. I find powders that fill a case with sufficient room to seat a bullet are more accurate 😊
Video on the 450 Bushmaster in semi-auto please.
Speedy recovery 🙏🙏
I find accurate rifles interesting.
Can you cast copper bullets ? just a thought.
👍👍
🙏
You shouldn't have climbed Mt. Washington when it was 100 below...
Oh man head colds suck get well soon
😃👍
👍
do you recommend annealing pistol brass? .44 special? is it necessary for accuracy and longetivity?
Unfortunately, pistol brass is too short and can never be safely annealed without losing essential hardness at the base. But, 44 Special brass has a very long life compared to the 44 Magnum.
@@GunBlue490 I never would have thought that annealing 44 special would be a problem,9mm or 45 acp is not what I was refering to

Worthy Brother, back in 1990 thereabouts, I was driving as an owner/operator for N.A.V.L. hauling a critical load through northern Pennsylvania. It was -50 degrees "F." I stopped at a truck stop and fueled up. I asked them for some fuel conditioner and they said they didn't carry it because they mix kerosene into their diesel fuel. Oh boy. Many miles down the road my fuel waxed up and clogged the fuel filters. I was in the middle of nowhere. No lights anywhere along the highway and no traffic. If it hadn't been for my best friend (my dog), Thunderbutt, I would have froze to death. Now I know just how cold a well diggers azz is.
Where did you get a Muffaleta in NH?
Got it at Central Grocery, New Orleans, LA
