Reloading Bullets

http://www.huntingtipsandtricks.com presents a video on the steps of reloading ammunition. For the example I used Barnes TSX 200 grain .308 cal bullets for my .300 Winchester Magnum. I am going on a grizzly bear hunt so I had to load a bit heavier bullet for more energy. This video goes in detail through: cleaning, tumbling, sizing, trimming, measuring, powder, labels, manuals, dies, equipment, and as much as possible to help you reload your own ammunition. Remember to reload safely and consult manufacturers literature and your reloading manual.

Sorry, New to the sport and wanting to get into reloading. What is the purpose of the "sizing" stage? I understand to punch out the spent primer, but what exactly is being "sized"?

@jackofkiwiland 10 plus times if in good condition

[jackofkiwiland]

can anyone tell me how often a brass case can be fired before you should replace it?

@ megafisherman22-about an hour.

[MegaFisherman22]

@just1nott how long do you tumble them the second time

[just1nott]

@ megafisherman22- Tumbling a second time does the same thing, just is less labour intensive and does a better job in my opinion.

[MegaFisherman22]

you dont have to tumble them a second time just wipe them off with a rag an it removes all the oil then use a wire brush to clean out where the primers were

[just1nott]

All depends on what type of bullet you are buying and how much powder you use for your loads. Once you have your gear and brass you just need to buy powder, bullets, and primers. Probably can build a bullet for 40 cents and up depending on your bullet choice.
