I am working on some videos to share reloading basics. The purpose is twofold. To share with beginners and to get feedback from the more advanced reloaders.
Here is the first one on sizing/ decapping: https://youtu.be/rjIF5wyxRZU Here is the second one on case preparation: https://youtu.be/6EAqCsGMKZI The third video on load selection: http://youtu.be/IbWEOGyLir8 The fourth video on seating primers: https://youtu.be/h9YtrQ940Ts The fifth video on charging cases with powder and seating bullets: https://youtu.be/gkKcBLx2oO0 The sixth video on load evaluation: https://youtu.be/HpKYwyoLboE |

Good videos, but not a firm believer in the way that you are setting the sizer, since most machine with the handle all the way down, will cam the ram slightly back down instead.
So the correct way to set up a single stage press sizer, size a shell, and make sure that the bottom of the sizer ever so lightly kisses the top of the shell hold when the "ram" cams all the way up under actual sizing pressure instead (which happens slightly before the handle is all they way down instead). Hence guys will set the sizer for the kiss with the machine dry, then an additional slight turn before actually sizing a case, but when they are actually sizing with tension on the ram, there ends being a gap between the bottom of the sizer and the top of the shell holder when the ram goes all the way up under tension instead. JPL shows the problem in this topic, https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=6&f=42&t=392866 As for setting up a sizer on a progressive press, since companies like Dillion maker the sizer shorter than needed for a single stage shell plate kiss, you need to use a case gauge to set the sizer instead (will have a gap between the bottom of the sizer and the shell plate instead). |
