Lee Precision Universal Case Expanding Die

[threehvacguys]

had that same issue working loads for my 270. wouldnt chamber and would sometimes had a hell of a time getting them out if i forced them like you were.. back to the drawing board.

[jamoore3192]

that might just be the push I needed to try my hand at reloading. thanks sir

[NSAM88]

Thanks for the video, I'm not into handloading yet... but I will be in future. I've learned a lot from your channel so far. I hope you make more videos on the subject. Cheers.

Is that an Arisaka?

[barccy]

@FreakydeekyDutchman Finn M39 Mosin Nagant.

[ZOMBIEGUNS]

I need to get one of those dies for my .30-06 cast 180gr. rounds for my M1917 becuase it likes cast bullets.

[faggotmachine]

It'd be awesome if you did basic tutorial on how you hand load your 7.62x54r. For all us beginners out there. Good video by the way.

[druschel2000]

Use this die all the time...one of my more valuable loading tools...

[flytyer232]

are those cases berdan primed, or boxer?

[badjeep02]

Great video, FYI that die will not do 45gap.

[jdouglasfisher]

"new" rifle for you? Seemed like the bolt was sticky, not like your others that operate smooth as glass.

[Iraqveteran8888]

@jdouglasfisher Actually, no. The problem is that the casings were not sized all the way. I ended up swapping my die plate out, and in the process, I didn't readjust the sizing die, so some of the brass was not sized all the way down. Minor issue, but at least I know what I did...lol

I'm somewhat new to reloading rifle cases (223 right now). If using jacketed bullets do you need to flare the case mouth? Or, if its not needed is it recommneded? These lee dies are always so cheap it would be nothing to pick one up if it will help.

[500SWMAGOPERATOR]

@MrRockBluff It's not required to flare the neck on a rifle cartidge if you are using jacketed bullets . Flaring will make it easier to start a flat base bullet. Personally I perfer bullets with a boat tail for my rifle loads.

[MrRockBluff]

@500SWMAGOPERATOR Thanks for the info.  So far, I've reloaded the flat base and BT bullets and I do prefer the BT.

[500SWMAGOPERATOR]

@MrRockBluff Your welcome, Anytime.

[rrl55]

I use mine for jacketed bullets too. In fact, anytime I don't seat boattails. For me, the seating die does not remove the flair enough. I have to make a gentle crimp on the mouth to get rid of the flair. is it possible that the reason you had so much trouble closing the bolt is because your cartridges still had some flair at the mouth?

[Iraqveteran8888]

@rrl55 The problem is that the casings were not sized all the way. Operator error...lol

[DudeNumberOnePlus]

I have a quaestion, read somewhere that when shooting cast bullets (no jacket) from a rifle (high muzzle velocity), the rifling instead of giving bullet a twist just cuts off the outer laye of the bullet (said to be due to softness of the lead). Is that the case there? Should be recognizable on the fired bullets by missing rifling marks - thats if some can be recovered intact enough.

[parkranger443]

Looked like the rifle was fighting you in the range part. Excellent videos.

[KaletheQuick]

@Iraqveteran8888

Are you going to finish that series you had on the sporterizing of a Nagant?

[wylie4k]

do these shells require a crimp? what are your thoughts on crimping .357/.38?

[kryptoniterxn117]

can you say hi with another line? we're humans not "youtube." it's getting old

[Dp908]

Eric, check out the latest video in my favorites of some new interesting and quite revolutionary lee products! I think you'll like it as much as I did. Take care man.

[ristin59]

Great info!

[spritrocks]

Lyman crusher is a good press it will make a good review

[glennwih]

I paid $2.46 for a clip at the hardware store made of stainless steel to replace the missing firing pin safety disconnector on my 1911 mini-compact Firestorm. I have to make my own. Owning cheap pistols isn't easy.

[venturahwy76]

What brinell hardness do you need when you have gas checks on those rifle bullets?

[vyxaer]

@venturahwy76 There's a formula for that, but I don't think it's the last word. Just yesterday I was reading that 22 Brinell may be too hard and actually shatter on thicker bones.

[GutpileCharlie]

Excellent review. I have dies of every brand, however the Lee products always produce a good bang for the buck.

[blackzombie3]

great vid and 2nd
