Good job on the series. I'm a beginner that's been lurking and shopping and trying to make sense of it all for a while. There are a million varieties and exceptions, but most of the principles make sense and are usually pretty common one to another. Your video helped me piece a few things together, and gave me hints on different brand dies. Great job all around, and a big thanks

I thought Lee made carbide dies that do not require lube.

@hkrivell "

I thought Lee made carbide dies that do not require lube." - If Lee says so, you can try them w/o lube, heckers... if they are your dies, you can try them w/o lube regardless of what Lee says.

I'm taught to (as the general rule - manufacturers override) lube all non-mandrel type dies (because of the sliding/friction). Maybe in some cals, it isn't reqd.

Thanks for the video

In Nickle plated brass the nickle plating is very hard.. , It is prettier, but harder in dies

[rldel149]

I expect dies to handle it without issue, don't you?

RCBS

[wdwalker861]

Q: will a rcbs press use all the dies like Lee, Hornady, and the others, I have had my bullet seating die stoled. It was a rcbs die group but I can not find just the bullet seatin die on-line. Will ck with the gun shops fri. answer if ya can or anyone else

[rldel149]

I believe you will fine that with very few exceptions like the.50 cal BMG, most every manufacture currently uses a die -to-press thread of 7/8 x 14 tpi. Look at an online dealer of reloading supplies for extra die nutts or "locking rings"; the treads will match their dies.

[Doofi57]

That was very interesting. I'm going to start reloading and I was thinking about buying the Lee Precision's 50th Anniversary Kit and I was wondering if there was anything I should know before buying this. Great videos :)

[ckerst]

Thanks for the information. It was very helpful.

[rldel149]

No problem and thank you.

[duemamay]

so honraday is the bes dies thx for the educational vids

[rldel149]

Well, for me when I look at the total features of a die set & look for things that are important to me like the nuts, grade of steel, no risk lifetime warranty, a box I can stack, price (not the highest/not the cheapest), technical expertise & product support as close as the phone... [take this as one man's opinion]...

yes, I feel they are the best true value out there.

Plus, through 2009, buy a New Dimension die set with the new "Zip Spindle" & get a free box of select (from a list) bullets.

Thank you so much Ridel for your very informative videos, watched all 3 and learned a heckuva lot. I really like how you explain things in a very easy to understand manner but you even go above and beyond that! Gave you a 5 star rating and thanks again.

[rldel149]

Thank you

[buddycraigg]

[rldel149]

thx :)

I just bought a tikka t3 lite in 7mm-08 never reloaded this is helpful thanks.

[rldel149]

I have a 7mm-08 in a low-end single-shot. The 7mm-08 is a super sweet round. It is a little lighter and more comfortable than my 280 Rem and still does what needs be done on a white tail. 7mm offers good ballistic profile and section density [IMO].

With a Tikka you are in a little different class of firearm than I have but I doubt either the rifle or round will ever disappoint you.

[tharr2008]

Good Job I learned alot of good reloading info.

[lannyson]

Great video u answered a couple of questions I had

Thanks.

[rldel149]

I have run across some brand loyal folks who just insist their favorite brand is the best. I find most have a strong point in one way or another.

[PlusOrMinusOne]

Great information thank you.

I can only get so much from reading and this really helps.

[kirkenix1]

this is a good overview of reloading for the beginner. good job.

[shadowdog500]

I just watched all three in the seris. Great job!

[Live414]

Just watched all three in the series, great job explaining the tools of the trade!

[JayDeavor]

wow that was great info, but sort of a waist of time, Thought I was actually gonna see a bullet being pressed

[rldel149]
