  • Where does trimming and deburring enter into the picture. Does this have to be done to every case or everytime? If so, which tools........thx

  • @gregwatl

    Trimming is usually not needed every time you reload a case unless you load 'hot' loads. Deburring is usually needed on new brass.

    Hope this helps.

  • @johnrob281 Do you have to debur every case with new brass. Isn't the deburring and trimming tool all one tool.

  • @gregwatl

    Yes, deburing is usually done with new cases. Often the tool is the same or you can purchase seperate trimmer and deburer. Sometimes you only want to do one not the other. For example on new brass, you want to debur but not trim.

  • I have noticed that in most of the videos (yours and others as well) most of the time the press is bolted to a table. Is this a must? I don't have a wooden bench and was going to use a plastic utility table (the fold up kind like you use for yard sales, etc.)

  • @gregwatl

    Thanks for watching my videos and for your question.

    The reason most people will use a wooden table is the reloading press requires a bit of downward pressure for various operations. A good sturdy bench is required for this.

    Hope this helps.

  • dont know why some one gave my comment a thumbs down. I was simply looking for information, which many of you happily gave me. (thank you) i understand now that it saves money and can increase accuracy. before i thought it was for old guns that they didnt make bullets for anymore. how silly of me.

  • Finally, an informative and comprehensive video on basic reloading information. Thanks. Will proceed to rest in series.

see all

  • Well done

  • do the reloading books show only the dimensions of that brand of bullet? Does this cause a problem when your reloading just normal brass you may of picked up?

  • Thanks for a VERY good overview of reloading equipment! Thumbs up :-D
