- Part 2d: Depriming and Resizing
In this video I will show you how to adjust your resizing die, apply case lube, and deprime your brass using a RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme handloading press.
Original Blog Post:
readysetreload....
FINALLY,,,, a reloading instructional video for the beginner. A step-by-step tutorial. I am a visual learner. Instructions confuse me most of the time so this is refreshing. THANK YOU for taking the time to put together these videos.
But he failed to address the length of the resized cases. That can result it either a decline in accuracy or a round that won't chamber/gets stuck.
Have you just started reloading it looks like it!
Buy Hornady lock nuts. They come in a package of six and replace the RCBS nuts with a more reliable lock.
I prefer to deprime before I tumble/clean my brass. That way the primer pockets get cleaned at the same time. So I deprime and resize in 2 different processes.
And yes, if you hang your depriming pin down more than .375, you risk breaking/bending it. hanging out an inch or more, it is no surprise you were breaking the 06 depriming pin.
Hey I'm new to reloading and have a question about this. Depriming before tumbling makes a ton of sense but doesn't doesn't the die resize and deprime at the same time? So wouldnt it not need to be resized after tumbling?
New sizing dies need to be degreased and blown out. This assures the vent hole is cleared, so you won't pull a vacuum and get a stuck case.
The priming pin should stick out 3/8 inch just over 2 quarters thick . Just thought I’d help you brother.
I originally found this video because I got brass stuck in my die (NIGHTMARE) and did not want to go through that again, figured I was missing a step somewhere. I was afraid I was going to have to buy another die set - just bought this one - this was my first go around with bottle neck ammo reloading. I just want to say thanks, this was most helpful and it was easy to follow. I would also recommend watching the other videos in this series, he really breaks things down and gives his reasoning behind why he does it.
Dont over lube your case you WILL dent it and don't over lube the inside of your case neck to much lube will weaken your powder over time! ! I'm not a now it all but have been reloading for 40 plus years and have learned the do's and Don'ts
I slam something on my workbench which creates a visual spike in the audio graph once the videos are imported. I can then see where I need to sync them up to then it's just a matter of fine tuning. The process is similar to those white wooden things they slam down in movies when they cut scenes. Now I think those things even have a timer on them. :)
This is a good starting point but you should really be measuring how much your bumping the shoulder... ideally .002 is how far u want to bump the shoulder
Yes , 7:53 he needs to review the instructions , as they are very clear about the decapping pin
Very helpful video, thanks for posting it.
Thank you. This is best explanation I've found so far. Way to dumb it down for me HAHA
Another reason for denting is the vent hole on your dye is plugged up
Thanks for posting
Great video
2 quarters thickness for decap pin to stick out.
Great video
So when you have the primer pin set an 1" below are you only depriming and not sizing? Or are you depriming and neck sizing with one stroke? Because everything else I've watched says to set the priming pin 3/16" from the bottom.
3/16" is fine as long as the primers are popping. If your too short primers won't pop, if your too long you'll break your pin. At least from my experience....
Yes , 3/16 is a good place to start . If the pin is to low it my stop the case from going all the way in the resizing die
Thank you, helpful video.
Great video however, like all creators you could make it easier for viewers to locate videos if you could make videos in sequence, label them so the order sequence can be identified in the first sentence. I give up and move onto the next creator. Just my opinion of course.
Thank you so much
Thank you !!!!
I am confused about the depring rod adjustment, I'll watch again
Doesn't it make more sense to deprime first, then clean and resize then reprime?reprise?? This is how I'm doing, yes I have a 4 slot turret and could do it in 1 turn.
Great upload!
Does it help or hurt to add lock tite the retaining nut?
So how do you determine pin protrusion? Just “like an inch”???
Adjust the pin deep enough that it pops the primer. Try not to go excessive or your break your pin.
Nice video, my new rcbs rebel press wobbles when shaking the handle, do I need to tighten it or is it something acceptable?
Just a FYI; that is not a “washer” with the brass set screw in it. It is a lock NUT!!
Who makes the Primer catcher for your press? Is that a Rebel press?
Seating resizing die 1/8 or 1/4 turn after touching the shellholder or does it not really matter (1/8 versus 1/4 turn)?
Set your resizing die down to just where the press cams over, somewhere between 1/8 to 1/4 turn.
When you get the press to the top of the stroke and it stops, push down a little more force and you will feel the press pop (cam over) and that is perfect.
Not too much force or too little.
@@Drivapete Perfect is a shoulder bump of 0.002" I like how this bench rest champion sets his die: ua-cam.com/video/htvk1UYOXm8/v-deo.html
@@RetrieverTrainingAlone This is for beginners not for precision shooters. Beginners need to follow instructions and learn the tricks of the trade like shoulder bumping, neck sizing and bullet seating procedures as they gain experience.
How far did the priming pin stick out?
Expansion bell? I don't know, you are very knowledgeable, but there are many ways to do a job.
Obviously, this is 'Plinking' ammo and not 'Precision/Acurized' ammo, right?
What kind of press is that?
RCBS Rock Chucker. Great Press. Very affordable. Awesome ammo results.
Use a plastic squeegee the necklace will tear your foam pad up from experience!
What he's doing here is fine but using WAX instead of the pad is the a better method. Hornady sells the wax. I switches to wax 15 years ago.
I started reloading 47 years ago with RCBS lube and a lube pad and I still do it that way today.
Locking ring....not "washer"
I'm brand new to this so question may seem silly..lol but when you stuck the brush inside the brass that dont effect the powder..? Having the lube inside.
james s. A little lube won’t hurt or mess the powder charge. In excess will.
Better yet, use RCBS dry case lube, then theres no question. Or, if you roll your cases on a pad, simply turn the case mouth upside down and press the neck into the pad in a well saturated area of the pad. Lubes the inside of the case for both seating and resizing.
Hey man I've got a question! First off great video! Second off, ive set my depriming die up, and when I pull the handle down to resize and pop the used primers out it crumples the base of the neck, any thoughts?
Michael Berkhoven make sure your die is adjusted correctly. Die adjustment and brass length could both be reasons why this is happening. Those are the first two things I can think of....
Thankyou for getting back to me! I ended up fixing it moments after I sent the message. The die was to low. Awesome videos!
You should move on a little faster...
Don't set carbide dies this way.
so you prime the brass, then remove the primer? Interesting.
Bla bla bla . Just do it .
You are giving horrible advice. You can't get proper shoulder bump without physically measuring it. You can't just guess.
It isn't set up for shoulder bump. It is set up to fully resize to fit any chamber.
@@garyh1449 what are you talking about??? And if you're not bumping the shoulder back 2 thou you're reloading in the stone age.
@@ngirardo86 Try bumping the shoulder and shooting it in a different rifle than it was originally shot from. Try those bumped shoulder cartridges in a semi auto.
terrible instructions
Well, i think is better to have a few years of reloading before making a video on it , and he tends to get side tracked with other things , and he needs to get better at the names of all the equipment and parts before making the video. It is important if you make a video for beginners is that your terms are accurate and to the point
I agree. As an experienced reloader (40 years) and retired educationalist I think these instructions are poor. There are far better UA-cam clips available on this topic.
