Thanks for the info.How many times would you reuse a shell?

[chios1958]

Thankyou for taking the time to reply. Will do.

[chios1958]

Thanks for a wonderful vid. I'm going to start reloading . I have a 308 rifle. I know you can save money reloading yourself, but can you really load more accurate ammo then factory with Lee dies? Someone told me to stay clear of their dies. Is your ammo consistent. Any info would be helpful. Thanks again.

[wildernesseducation]

@chios1958 lee dies are a very well made budget die and i can reguarly load sub MOA ammo with them. Start of with lee and if you feel the need then you can upgrade to redding or rsbs later. I reguarly load ammo that is more accurate than the factory equivelent with lee dies. remember that the key to accuracy is preperation and consitancy when loading each round. The only lee product that i would say is crap are thier scales and i would just go for somthing better like rcbs 505

[louie000007]

thnx for the vids

[gasdorf]

about how many times can you reload a brass case ...ruff estimate?

[soulis1000]

Would be more usefull if you actually loaded a cartridge...

[wildernesseducation]

The you should watch all my reloading videos have a look at my channel

[soulis1000]

@wildernesseducation I did now and i thank you for your exelent demonstration. Keep up the good work.

[xxSURExxSHOTxx]

Good information thanks.

[MrWombatPPC]

I take it your in the UK. Scotland ! woohaayy.. :-)

Very informative vid. Help all those budding murderurs out here !! haha.

What parts are illegal to be in possesion of when you dont have a licence.?

Am I right it thinking you can have the lot, just so long as they are NOT put together.?

[mred6554]

i just purchased a remington 700 chamberd in 308. i was very impressed by its accuracy and ide like to start reloading so i can shoot farther with it.

what reloading kit do you recomend for a beginer like me. my rifle really shoots remington and federal ammo well. i was shooting sub half inch groups with it at 100. so i might go with their load data.

oh, and how do you know when you cant reload the brass anymore?

[SkallagrimNilsson]

Ah, thanks a lot for this explanation video. I'm considering to start reloading .40 S&W ammo for my Glock 35 since it's so darn expensive to buy. It seems a loading press and accessories are not exactly cheap either but it should pay off soon enough.

[wildernesseducation]

Can i sugest that if you are going to be loading 40 S&W that you get a progressive press rather than a single stage press. It will make your pistol reloading alot quicker. Thier are alot of good videos on reloading with a progressive press. Glad you like the video

[SkallagrimNilsson]

A progressive press? Ok, I'll look into that, thank you for the suggestion.

[soloban81]

For some reason I feel safer listening to a Scottsman talking about reloading vs some of my redneck fellow countrymen.

[sw8741]

uk eh? how many regulations and licenses do you have to have own a firearm over there?

[harryviking]

For all of you that sooner or later getting picky on fractions of inch sharpshooting, use Co-Ax

press and equipment! The rest is OK for "normal" use...

[idsman75]

Great educational videos! I've been shooting personally and in conjunction with my job (Army) for quite a few years. Most everything I know was learned from a reloading manual. I suggest EVERYONE who shoots buy a reloading manual (Sierra's manual is great) and read all of the introductory material. Even if you don't reload, you'll learn more about cartriges, firearms, and shooting than you ever did from an instructor. Great video. I'm subscribing!

[mostlyso]

Thanks for your videos, they're very informative.

Just wondering, but why a single stage press, and not a turret?

[wildernesseducation]

i do not load enough ammo to justify the faster reloading rate and turret presses are not as simple and bomb proof as a good strong single stage press. single stage presses are more accurate for producing high precision rifle ammo

[andrew01292]

I heard reloaded cartiges are not as powerful as the original. Is that true?

[wildernesseducation]

Short answer is no. You can easily reload cartridges that are so too powerful and that are too dangerous to shoot. However it is possible to safely develop loads that are faster than factory equivalents. For example my 50 gn V-max load is approximately 100fps faster than hornadys factory equivalent. Follow loading data exactly and never exceed the maximum load given.

[Kcignatius2]

How much does all that equipment cost?

[idsman75]

I just picked up a 50th Anniversary Lee Challenger Press "KIT" (I think that's what it's called or close to it), a set of Hornady Custom dies (.45-70 Government) and a case length gauge specific to that cartrige for around $135 from the Cabelas store in Minnesota. You can probably order it all for less. You still have to buy powder, primers, and bullets and a flash hole deburring tool. Buy the powder locally or you'll pay a fortune for the hazmat fee if you order it (or else order it in bulk)

[SteelJM1]

If you like to shoot, Arizona is the state to be in :) That or Alaska, but AK is much too cold for me!

[05blast]

Wyoming my friend.

[codyz71]

az, wy or mt... Wa state was good, I lived there... But now that I live in FL... God it sucks.

[hillca74]

Great introduction to reloading equipment.

[IK1963]

That's too many primers in that Auto prime.

[wildernesseducation]

can you tell me why exactly that is too many and why that would be a problem because i have not had a problem with loading 100 primers in to my auto prime at a time.

[KaosX]

depends on the primer - there's a warning on some types so if they go off it doesnt blow the whole hopper in the auto prime - I do 50 at a time.

[rmarcustrucker]

love accent.

[danebrewer10]

lemme guess, you're from the states??

yup, nothing agasnt that by the way, i just find it amusing the everyone else wants everyone elses' accents!, never been to the states (want to though), but it seems that from what i've heard from friends, you're not as tied up with red tape as we are ion the uk?

[Paladin753]

Red Tape? its terrible. In California there's very little that is legal these days.

[Athlete1990]

Yup. You can thank your liberal neighbors and friends for that.
