    With today’s prices, you could reload a box of 6.5 Creedmoor ammo to match Precision Hunter for $34.99 even if you didn’t sell the brass after the first firing. The factory costs $48.
    Handloading instead of reloading can indeed make sense for some people. Plus, case prep is about 70% of the time it takes to load.

Eric Cortina has taught me a tremendous amount on reloading. I like your process, simple. I'm told you get better precision/consistency with once fired brass from your rifle. I also go lower on the charge to make a couple reloads from each brass. Merry Christmas !

    I can't fault you on your process. Lapua brass is amazing and extremely consistent and since you dont reuse your cases it seems totally legit how you do things. Now me personally... I do reuse cases... new brass I dont resize for the first firing, i just load a minimum load with bulk bullets because I need to fireform them a couple of times. After that...then I do all my neck trimming etc to make them all exactly the same. I use mostly Lee dies, I have 2 Lee single stage presses (on large for loading 338LM), 2 Lee progressive presses for bulk 223 and the other for bulk 9mm. I use Hornady comparator gauges for checking shoulder bump and base to ogive...all pretty inexpensive stuff and I get sub-moa groups out of all my rifles.

    I keep wondering to myself about everything I would need to start handloading 5.56 and .30-06, and I really want to go with the arbor press route. It seems to be the most compact and precise option, even if it isn't the fastest. The hang-up I usually have is in brass prep (chamfer & deburr the neck, deburr flashhole, check primer pocket), and sizing of brass using an arbor press. Basically, I only want to cry once when it comes to setting things up.

    • @PrecisionRifleNetwork
      @PrecisionRifleNetwork  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I hear you. Brass prep sucks if you don't enjoy it. Some of the processes are necessary for precision reloaded ammo, but many of the processes are not. The problem is that if you go watch vids of a reloading channel like anything from the F-Class guys, you will assume you have to have all the same expensive gear and do everything they do. That's just not the case. Quality precision ammo can be reloaded a lot simpler and cheaper.

    Hey Joe something you probably already know but I'll share it anyway because I saw it on impact shooting CZcams channel. If you pull the seating stem out you can drop the bullet down in that hole and it lines the bullet up perfectly. Put the stem back in and hoila bullet is seated.

Thirdly, reload your damn brass, get a Henderson precision trimmer and you're off to the races! Good video, I love my matchmaster and zero and matchmaster combo! Good shit.

He shot new brass everytime. F-Class shooters are superstitious if nothing else, so if you think something works then keep doing it or your mind will beat you up over it. I like to shoot F-Class and Benchrest and Fullbore and Military Matches and reload because I have to not because I like to. Some people would rather reload than shoot. I'm not that guy. There is something to be said for using new brass and being one and done. At least your primer pockets are clean and tight everytime.

    I have found that even while getting excellent results out of the box with Lapua and Peterson brass, my results on that second firing after I do a 2 thou shoulder bump full length sizing are a little better. Ive invested in tools to streamline the process heavily though. Lee APP to decap, 500 pieces done in 10 minutes. Annealeez annealer, set them up and let it do its thing. Full length resize on my Mec single to bump shoulders 2 thou with no expander ball. SSTL tumble for an hour. Mandrel size the necks. Trim in the Giraud. Seat primers with RCBS bench primer. Throw powder with AutoTrickler. Seat bullets on the Mec. All the prep work sucks, but the results on the paper speak for themselves, so I force myself to do it. The layout in tools I have is substantial in cost, but I own these tools for life now.

    Don't apologize for your process! Thank you for taking the time to share it. Any critics can go jump! Do have a questions - with the Primal Rights, the Zero, etc. - it obviously seems that having the best precision equipment is your MO. Why the RCBS chargemaster over an Auto-Trickler? - I know there is about $400 difference but that doesn't seem like it would be too much of a factor. I am asking because I am very new at this and trying to invest in the best/right equipment but also don't want to spend $1,000 if there is a $500 option that produces the same results. I did have a chargemaster (the $450 version) and I returned it and went with the AutoTrickler V4. Another reason I ask is because my setup is almost identical to yours with the exception of the trickler (Zero, primal rights, etc). I can attest to the fact that the AutoTrickler can be tuned to be much faster than the ChargeMaster ($450 version). Not sure about the Supreme. And again, same as you, my time is ultra valuable to me. Just curious - at this point I probably won't go through the trouble of switching just to save $400 - too aggravating and time consuming and the AutoTrickler is pretty darn cool. Unless there is a significant time savings or accuracy increase in addition to the $400. Thanks for sharing your process!!

      I’m not too concerned with the powder thrower being fast. More concerned with accuracy. To that end, I haven’t seen a difference in “down range accuracy” between these quality throwers. Sometimes a less expensive tool does do just as good a job as the more expensive tool.

But every time I buy a new box of brass, regardless of the company, I will attempt to size one of them. What I have found is they're all minimum spec every time. Whether it's Lapua, Alpha, Peterson, or Norma, My sizing die won't even touch any of those brands, new in the box. Thanks for the video. I picked up some very useful info!

    I’ve always questioned “once fired brass”. I just consider it previously fired brass. How do we know it has only fired once and not loaded 3-4 times before getting to me? Personally I just buy new brass or buy loaded ammo and reclaim the brass after firing. I pickup range brass from time to time and am amazed at how much Starline brass I find. I can’t imagine buying Starline brass new, loading it and just leaving it at the range after firing.

    Everyone's process is different. What works for others doesn't work for you and reverse. I only buy hard to obtain brass like 7.62x25 Tokarev, 9mm Makarov , 7.5 Swiss. Everything else is brass I shot from factory ammo or range brass. Unlike you, the brass prep of depriming, cleaning, resizing, etc is enjoyable to me as I have the time.

    Wow that's crazy I dont really know how to respond to that especially considering you have an extremely expensive turret press on your bench. I'm polar opposite I actually fire form all my new brass before I even start with load development or before I'll use that brass for my final handloads. I get time is precious but if that's the only effort I was willing to put into reloading I don't know if I'd even bother thats just me but to each their own if it works for you it works for you... you could alway hire an assistant like Eric did then you wouldnt have to do anything but shoot!!!

  • @highwaytohelles4561
    @highwaytohelles4561 Před rokem

    Brass usually gets slightly deformed during the shipping process. There's nothing you can do about it. You absolutely have to full length size it, to get uniform neck tension. I bet you could get your SD down to 5ft/s if you size it. But then again: It depends on what you are looking for. If you are happy to sacrifice SD for your time, I can totally understand it. Time is a valuable commodity. If that's your ideal process and you enjoy yourself, and you're happy with the result, then great.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family.

      I hear you. You’re probably not wrong, but here’s my question. Can you see the difference downrange between an SD of 4 and 9? ( I can’t shoot the difference)

      You don’t have to FL resize new brass… you can just take a mandrel and resize the neck to set your neck tension.all high END brass is at the low end of SAAMI specs, the only need to fully resize or even push the shoulders back is to ensure reliable feeding.

      @@highwaytohelles4561 I respectfully disagree. I haven’t seen any issues. IF and that’s a big if, the difference translates to a .2” group versus a .3” group no one shooting PRS or practical matches will notice that difference. Benchrest and FClass might. The rest of us will miss b/c of our wind call or an unstable position. All I’m saying is the reloading process simply doesn’t matter that much.

    Lapua sells 6mm dasher brass now? Or are you fire forming 6mmBR brass? Or buying brass that someone has hydro formed?
    I used to play with dasher and either fire formed or hydro formed lapua BR brass. Once formed exactly to my chamber from the first firing, the second firing of that brass was always the most precise even out to 1k yards (prone HP sling matches) easy X ring.
    My point, you might be missing out on the best part of your brass by not seeing how it performs after formed to your chamber.

    There is a mindset out there that doesn't even clean the brass. They will de-prime, anneal, , reprime and go again without all the messy cleaning. On another note, that RCBS needs a better cup. The short sidewalls are allowing power kernels to bounce surprisingly much.
