So glad these videos are coming back! I missed them! These videos gave me confidence to reload shotshells. I now go to my local club after trap night, and pick up hundreds of hulls, pick the ones I want, and dump the rest. Cheap reloading :)
MANNY .. !!! YOU ARE GREAT .. !!!!! I HAD 256 RIO HULLS I WAS GOING TO THROW AWAY...!!!! 3/8" RATCHET EXTENSION ... !!!!!! THEY HOLD PRIMERS LIKE A CHAMP ... !!!!!!! MUCH THANKS ... !!!!!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ... !!!!!!
Over many years of reloading I have seen some "elderly" hulls look good at reloading on day one but find that after storage they have slowly opened up (tented open) from internal pressure of the components. There can be many reasons for this of course such as component selection, loader settings and technique but hull mouth fatigue is factor. Video idea, how long can a reloaded shell be stored? Say, first reload, 3rd, 5th, 7th. etc. then stored for 30 days to see at what point, if any, the plastic has lost its ability to hold everything tight over time. Glad to see you back Manny!
Manny, glad you are back. Hey, I quit using CLP because a legally converted AR15 I had wouldn't run full auto with even a light coating on the bolt. And that was in summertime Arizona. I suspect the cold has thickened it up on your 1400. Keep the videos coming!
Cool stuff. My question: as plastic hulls are reloaded, the plastic fatigues thus making it easier to open this resulting in a loss of pressure/velocity. A chronograph might show this?
Just looking into all the reloadimg done out there. Popped a dark gray shell out of the box to have a look this last weekend. Couldn't really tell much from thr outside, but they seem sturdy. As little as I get to shoot and as pricy as starting up costs, IDK if I will.
The wad is not the hull. I used to load AA 35 years ago and we got about 10 to 12 reloads from a hull in .410 a 2. shell comparison is nice but some of the older shells 35 years ago did not last as long as others.
GREAT VIDEOS .. !!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND MONEY .. !!!!!!

Awesome!! Would love to see how many times a Remington gun club could be reloaded!!
I love this series.
Good info
Keep on loading and shooting Manny. I am hooked on your channel. Great information and love your energy

Thanks for the informative video.... you went above and beyond...
Thanks Manny
I appreciate what you do!

Good to see you back! Now, if you’ve got any suggestions where to find reasonably priced lead shot!
Thanks Manny!
Where have you been, dude!? I thought maybe Commiefornia got ya. I missed your videos and your great info. I have catching up, bindge watching to do!

Might also explain the gun not cycling due to lower pressures?

Nice vid!
Have you ever tried making (loading) dragons breath?
Why does that shotgun keep jamming? Were the shells swollen cause of the many reloadings ?
Manny are you back
Weird. My new AA hulls rust at the rim. Did you scratch the brass to see steel underneath?

I thought it didn't get cold in sunny California.
The Sierras disagree with you!
Are these truly newly made videos or re-runs? I hope they are new! 🤞🙂 DJ
