Bullet seating depth for autoloading pistol rounds is usually decided by the maximum allowable length that will permit loading in the magazine. The round you're loading in this video (9mm) headspaces on the case mouth, not the bullet ogive's point of contact with the rifling; employing this method can create dangerously high chamber pressure. Taper crimping is recommended for autoloading pistol rounds to ensure reliability and safety.

@jzorns Are you kidding $200, I thought it would be 2 to 3x's more, so I have been holding off. I need to purchase my equipment.

Yeah thanks, I missed that all important decimal point in the old manual i was looking at. The decimal points are smaller as I get older. It's really not funny is it? 51 grains could be a fatal mistake?
Hey all: I just posted a new video that shows the whole process in one HD video. The new one is more efficient, as the priming and charging are done on the press. Two fewer steps, and even less equipment needed. These videos are not obsolete though, as they are more detailed. Enjoy. Remember to double check your charged cases for no charge or double charge before seating bullets!

Yeah, it is a nice way to be involved in the shooting hobby without shooting. It takes enough time that it slows your shooting down a bit. You tend not to waste as much ammo on dumb stuff.

Nice videos, JZORNS. I bought a press a long time ago and have never got around to using it. At the time, a friend let me use his press to prime a few hundred rounds of .45 ACP. They are still sitting in my garage, now I am serious about reloading them. Anyone have a feel if primers have a shelf life? I think they should be fine, since they haven't been exposed to any extreme temperatures. But they have been sitting for about 12 years!

It isn't time that you should worry about, but the moisture in the air soaking into the priming compound. I'd go ahead and use them, just don't count on them for personal defense. Have a bullet puller handy in case they don't work.
