[ausfoxhunter]

Ammosmith, I think Corbin should be paying you a wage.......This is great stuff.

Clear and concise, easy to understand, with quality photography.

Corbin's books/notes are now obsolete !

Fantastic effort mate.

[ammosmith]

@ausfoxhunter Thank you very much! More good stuff to come.

It is Advanced Bullets in Temple and it is the worst shooting range on the planet. The owner's are old feeble farts and they treat women like invalids and it is old, cheap, muddy, and your cardboard targets are used and full of holes. If you trust a 15 year old tween to make sure the field is clear, go for it. It's your funeral!!!!!

i tested out my loads today and they shot well but on a few last shots where the slide is suppose to lock back after the last shot it did not i was told it could have been lack of powder or primer can u give me some information

[ammosmith]

@84reaper I need more information. What caliber and load?

[Azcodito]

Awesome set of videos. I made it to the range today and picked up a baggie full of .22 mag, .22lr and .22 short. Cleaned them with half vinegar half water in a ultra sonic cleaner, rinsed with baking soda and water and than processed through the ultra sonic cleaner again with dish soap and than rinsed under running water till it ran clean. Dried them on a cookie sheet in the oven for about 10 min at 375.

Great videos. Your videos are so important. Keep up the good work. Very good explanations of the processes. Thank you.

[sxwatson]

Have you considered using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the brass before swaging? It works really well for cleaning cases inside and out.

[dills2403]

cant wait for the 30 cal videos....

[ammosmith]

@dills2403 Me too...but I need $3000 worth of dies and tools.

[dills2403]

@ammosmith wow lol maybe ill just buy them off you when you make them....

[ammosmith]

@dills2403 It's a write off since we're an LLC. But getting the capitol together is still a task.

[dills2403]

@ammosmith so you will just donate some bullets to me then ..

Great Video..... lol

[ammosmith]

@dills2403 I'll send you some 55gr jobbers. PM me on the forum

[joseph299]

Upon impact do they act like store bought hollowpoints or do they stay in one piece?

[ammosmith]

@joseph299 They are really violent upon impact. They usually come apart like a grenade.

[joseph299]

@ammosmith Good haha. Thats what I thought but I wasnt too sure. Great for home defense I take it haha

[ammosmith]

@joseph299 Or offense. If you use lead shot and compress them into cores you get a nasty frangible bullet

[makun16]

Really awesome to see jackets being made from one reloader to another. I shoot rimfire a lot and getting into 223. I can only thing of how much this would save in the long run of reloading 223 if I can make my own jacketed rounds. Thanks a lot for the info, looking forward to the up coming parts!

[ammosmith]

@makun16 They make a kit that fits into a standard reloading press. I got the CSP-2 press for the bigger stuff like 458-50 BMG.

[GunWebsites]

This is the best application of recycling I have seen in a LONG time

[ammosmith]

@GunWebsites Much more to come!
