RELOADING . 308 WINCHESTER ON A DILLON XL 650 PRESS

[louisfriendhastaste]

Do you lube the cases before they go in the hopper? Great setup by the way

[MrDeerhunter3006]

Size then trim!!!!!

[CrazySurvivalist]

heh, that thing sounds like a giant candy machine operating.

[WVoutdoorsman100]

Hey Kevin, great videos. I was wondering if you would consider doing one on proper gun cleaning that would include technique, products, etc?

[comlax22]

geezus this seems like far too much work...and WAY too much money in equipment. i'd have to shoot 100x more to justify all of this cost.

[gunhappyie]

Any problems reloading the HK brass ??

[kokanokka]

deam that dillon is fast machine..i want one too

[marquefanslow]

thanks nice vid

[shootmyhorse]

Kevin, your 223 vid was a great help in getting me started reloading 223 on my 650 and i just got my conversion kit to start reloading the 308 win for my m1a NM, next time I'm in town i would buy you a beer. thank much!

[PatriotPrepper]

You have a great setup. I reload for my .308 bolt action using a single stage press. I also use the Sierra 168 HPBT and Varget. I thought Varget smells strange, it actually can make my stomach sick. I use 43.2 grains.

I am considering reloading for my RR .308 semi-auto. To get more speed, I am thinking of buying a progressive press like your Dillion. Or I just might limp along on my trusty single stage. Great video.

[OBXSOLWIND]

@PatriotPrepper I was single stage for a long time. I still use it for making very accurate rounds. Once you go to a progresive press there is know turning back. It is an ugly cycle you will be craving for more brass,powders,bullets and any thing else you can feed threw it. I am thinking of selling my press to a friend and moving into the 1050 because I get so much nato brass. Thanks for stopping in

[daltonboy7154]

how much did that setup cost you

[jone3333333333]

can you reload using nitrocellulose guncotton if yes can you make a video on this?

[bobiscool308]

awesome video .favored. please make more reloading vids

[bobiscool308]

what is a boattail bullet best for

[harley96cube]

Thanks man!

I have a few friends that have already given me some recipes and tips.

As soon as I can wrangle the funds, I'll probably get a 650.

[twal1011]

What kind of consistency are you getting with Varget on the Dillon 650?

[OBXSOLWIND]

@twal1011 I am not shure what you are asking but I am going to answer yes to all 3. works well in the press, accuracy and bullet speed. The only thing I have to to say bad about Varget is I do not care for the smell other than that I love It. Its also hard to find a powder that will fall into a .223 roud with a short drop tube and I have never had a problem with the Varget. I hope that helped.

[twal1011]

@OBXSOLWIND

Sorry for not phrasing that better. How well does the Dillon meter the Varget? Are you seeing +/- .1 grains or?

[OBXSOLWIND]

@twal1011 I got it now. The powder is very accurate especially with boll powder with the Varget stick powder I would think within a half a grain.

[gilyardk]

Thanks for the info.

[katz217]

Nice group.

[harley96cube]

Looks like you have all the bells and whistles.

What press did you use before this one?

To get into reloading, do you recommend starting with one like this, or a simpler model?

[NCSGDIZZYSHOOTER21]

@harley96cube go with that one they are great and quick and last forever my old bench cracked and that loader fell and nothing broke get it

[OBXSOLWIND]

@harley96cube Hey Harley. I recomend hooking up with someone who is reloading and learn the ins and outs and then go for it. If I had it to do all over I would have learned from peaple around me and gon strait to a progesive machine. I opoligise for the delayed responce.

Kevin

[iwillybilly]

very nice! i cant afford a Dillon press but i am going to buy a Lee press whole kit in Jan. im totally new to reloading and cant wait. i cant find anyone to teach me so i am relying on youtube/internet and books to get me thru. thanks for making these kinds of videos for new guys like me. its much appreciated

[OBXSOLWIND]

@iwillybilly Sorry for my delayed response do not but a Lee press. Hunt the used market for a Dillon or a READING.

[iwillybilly]

@OBXSOLWIND

its ok, i would LOVE to get one of the Dillon presses but my budget is so tight i can bearly afford the Lee as it is. are the Lee's that bad? now im thinking i should just not start at all....

[w00dsta]

@OBXSOLWIND Why do you recommend not getting a lee ?

[ristin59]

Great video!
