10"L x 6"W x 1"H.
This is a video about the rcbs accessory. Base plate number two i didn't find a lot of stuff online regarding how the. Base place looks so this is what the box. Comes in basic box inside which you have. Is the actual plate and instructions and. All the tools necessary to install the. Plate the tools that come with it are. Four wooden screws and an assortment of. Other screws that you can use for adding. Items onto the base plate base play itself it's just a metal piece has. Various holes in it so basically you're. Going to put the four wooden screws on their bolt it down to your bench and. Then the various letters here like c. Or d you'll use to put in your press. So your powder drop or other items like that now what you see on this side here. Is the base plate with my press and the. Powder drop and notice here's the. Screws with the washer for the pot of. The press and right next to it i had it. Uh just edit this one on here just so. You can see that you could put both of them on there it's missing the other screw here but there's the first screw. So they both will fit the press and your. Powder drops the only thing is if you. Have them both like that if your press. Is probably going to get in the way of when you're doing your your. Charging or your shells so it's probably. Best to take two of these and just use one for the press and one for the powder. Drop it's pretty easy to take off you. Just unscrew the bolts and then this. This will move out of the way but this is just a quick review of the rcbs. Accessory baseplate.

The hornady lock and load auto progressive press or ap for short it's a. Fully functional five station progressive press that gives you one loaded round with each pull of the handle today we're going to go through step by step how to set it up so stay. Tuned let's get started when you get your horn. Indy lock and load comes in this nice big box fully packed from the factory impervious to shippers abuse and what. You want to do is slide off the cover get it right and start taking out the. Goodies there's a lot of packing in here. Take your time try not to lose anything. Here's the actual press and it's a. Beauty along with that you have some. Other goodies in here there's our powder. Measure and priming tools here's some. Powder measure dye our lock and load. Bushings there and a bracket for our bin. There's our ammo bin and it has a drum. For our powder measure inside yes when I'm setting one of these up i do read the manual it's essential so. Now that we got everything out we can get started the first thing we have to do is bolt the press to the bench and to. Do that I'm gonna have to drill some new holes in this bench. Okay now that we got the holes drilled we can go ahead and mount dress up and. For this hornady recommends five. Sixteenth inch bolts with a washer on. Then like I've got here the length will vary depending on how thick your bench top is I'm using four inch bolts here. They seem to do the trick for me and get. A bolt in there tighten them up as you. Normally would like any other tool of ice or something you tighten down doesn't have to be super tight you just don't want this thing moving around and there we go that's plenty tight this thing is solid as a rock you can pick the bench up with it if i could pick the bench up alright. Now we've got to install our handles get that on there so now we want to secure. The handle by tightening a slop net with a crescent wrench hand the basic press. Is mounted and ready to go so let's move on to the next step which is mounting the shell plate and before. We do that heatedly wants a little bit. Of grease on the base of the press here there're little indentations here for the. Ball detent, so we're going to put a little grease in those and that'll make. The thing ride a lot smoother you want to take this keyed area right here and. Make sure it fits the corresponding stud. On the press nice and easy. At that point it's just a matter of. Putting the screw in place it doesn't. Have to be super snug and i lift up on. The handle creates a little friction on it lift it up. Look there we've got a ratcheting press it is working hornady sets these up at. The factory to ratchet properly if you. Find that it is not coming all the way around to each station you need to. Consult your manual to find out how to retirement or call it one of the tech they can walk you through it if they have to so the next thing we want to do. Is to put the shell retainer spring and. This is a spring right here it's a nice coil loop around the shell plate. And it goes in place pretty easily but. You have to cycle the press a couple times to get it to drop in and there it. Goes now it's running in its groove here and it'll hold the shells in there. Stations all the way around at each station check and make sure everything's. Advancing properly each time you raise. The ram it should be coming up on each. Station on each die station here there should be a shell holder opposite it this one is working properly horn d sets these up at the factory and. If it's not indexing properly there are. Instructions in your manual on how to fix that or you can call workaday's tech support they can walk you through it also next we want to install the priming mechanism now this came equipped ready to go for large primers, and we're loading 45 acp, but we've decided to take. It apart so you could watch how it's put together first thing to do is take the. Priming ram here and hook it up to this. Little spring right here which is hard to reach their district up this puts the. Tension on your priming. And then we place the cover on top that. Retains it. Now before you install yours be sure those parts are clean and oil-free no. Debris no rough edges just double-check. It makes sure the primers have a nice easy path to follow. Because progressive one of the most. Important things you can do is make sure that your primers flow properly okay as. You see it moves back and forth there it gets cam to back and it goes forward. Lines up here and you've got a primer in place once there's one to feed so now. That we have that in place we can screw the primer shield in place and that's. Very easy that just screws on those outer threads down there next we want to. Put the inner tube in and there are two. Of these so make sure the one you get. Corresponds to the primers you want to use to see one's got a large hole one's got a small hole we're going to use large primers, so we'll go with this one. There's a slight rebate here and you. Want to put that down so it'll go into. Its recess inside there and nest properly don't go once you have that in. Place this little guide goes on top that. Centers everything up so now when you go. To feed primers from one of these. Centers it up for you pull the pin primers fall down you're fully charged so that's the priming. Setup everything's running smoothly so. Far so good next we take our lock and. Load powder measure and being careful. Not to lose any of these levers or anything on the way we're going to put it into the die, and we're going to take. The activation arm slip it over its locking not here tighten that in place. Make sure it's moving freely now this. Device is called the powder stop or a powder measure stop excuse me and what. This does is limits the travel this powder measure so when your case hits the top of the die and hits that expansion point all the pressure is going to be borne by this rather than your mechanism and your powder measure pretty good idea it's all taken up here. All the stress so you don't have to worry, so we'll put this in place over. The two spring points, and we'll put our spring first on the top then on the. Bottom make sure we have good positive. Return pressure that way when the case backs out this comes down gets another. Load of powder you don't want your powder measure to jam up now we get to. Test it takes a case loading station one. Index it over station — there goes out. Powder measure now we're not feeling a. Lot of resistance at the end and this isn't bottoming out, so we're going to need a little more adjustment here I'm going to tweak that up. There's a little bit let's try a bullet in there just a little more just need a. Little more there. Let's see what it looks like. They're bullet stays in the case it's. Gonna stay oriented for the next seating step, so we'll call that good pablor. Measures ready to go we can lock down our adjustments and proceed now that. We've got the powder measure installed we can install the hornady powder cop and what this does is gives you a visual verification of the powder level in the. Case it'll show you if the case is properly charged it will also show you if there's a double charge in there which can be disastrous so this is a great idea when you're loading on a progressive now to install it again we. Want to put our lock and load bushing on their put it into the press it'll be on. Station three right next to your powder. Measure takes a prime case run it through. One. Charge it with powder comes over now the. Powder calm and you can see the white. O-ring just shows above here we can. Adjust this up just slightly so it with a proper powder charge and I've weighed this already so i know I'm throwing the proper charge it comes up about flush that way every time you put the handle. Down your eyeball will fall on this. While ring and see that it's at the right level so let's take the same case. Leave the powder in it and run it through and give it a double charge and see what it looks like there's the. Second charge and there the o ring comes. Up twice as far now it's not a huge difference but now there's a gap between the die and the o ring so your eye should pick that up instantly it's right under your nose it's out their right in front of you on purpose so when you see that you know you've got a double charge case next. We're going to install the bullets eating die went ahead and installed the. Sizer die in station one that's pretty easy nothing to figure out there the. Cedar die takes a little bit of finagling depending on what unit you. Have now we're using the horn of the die here which crimps and seats the bullet. To proper depth in one motion it's got two adjustment rings for the bullet depth and for the crimp I've got a bushing on it, so we're going to lock and load that in place and what we'll do is. Take an empty case, and we'll just run it through without powder or without primer. We're just making a dummy test case I've. Looked in the horn of the manual here our overall length is one point two. Thirty one inch two hundred thirty thousand for the 230 grain xtp bullet. We're going to load, so we'll go up the. Station one size it normally we would. Prime right here charge with powder. Next station is the powder cop nothing. Happening because we have no powder station for take an x t p bullet. Goes up seats the bullet crimps there it. Is next station if you wanted to crimp. Separately there's still one open station so if you want to add a taper crimp die to that you could and just sat with this one some people like to do that especially with cast bullets where you might shave a little red off them but this particular unit works fine just as is so you'd go up to the next. Station and then it would eject the. Shell and you're done and from then on. Each pull the handle will give you one. Loaded round that's what the aap is all about okay with the press all set up and. Our test rounds looking good we're ready to start loading ammo you have any questions on how to use this or set it up give us call in the tech line we'll be glad to help you out thanks for watching see you next time. You.
Hey there gavin you hear from ultimate freeloader calm I've been waiting for a long time and it's finally here this is the very first hornady lock and load. Iron press kit to come off the line and to go out to the public and I'm going to bring you the very first complete and. Comprehensive video series on this. Totally new press system it's pretty cool it's the most rigid press in its class it's got a totally new priming system it's got a bunch of new features that i can't wait to see so in this. Video let's do the unboxing let's see everything in the kit and then in subsequent videos we're going to use it for loading for the ruger precision. Rifle we got 243 we got 6.5 creed moor a. Bunch of cool stuff coming up so let's get into the box ok so let's see what. We've got in the box here alright that. Is off a little protective sheet there. So we've got the 2016 hornady product. Catalog here and that has the owner's. Manual tucked inside it looks like we. Got some stickers always ok can use some extra stickers for the toolbox ok so. We've got the typical setup instructions. Etc new catalog i think I've already. Gotten that one in the mail so that's an extra maybe I'll give that to a friend look at this cool tin sign here that's. Pretty neat so that's definitely going. To go up somewhere alright now into the guts ok, so we've. Got the hornady looks like 0 to 6 inch. Digital caliper that i can definitely. Put to use it looks like it has a larger it has a larger display than the other. Cheap digital calipers that i. To accumulate have okay some packing. Material here we've got the quantity. Handbook of cartridge reloading ninth edition this is the latest version so. That's going to come in handy mine is from 2007 been waiting to upgrade we've. Got the lock and load bullet comparator. And basic insert set this is really nice. I showed this in the 6.5 creed moor full. Progressive reloading video this is. Where you can measure off the ogive of the bullet which is that critical curve on the bullet rather than just the overall length or the tip of the bullet if you have hollow points sometimes the. Tips can vary quite a bit the plastic. Tipped bullets don't usually come very that much but definitely it's something that you're going to want okay so hornady unique case lube this is. New i haven't tried this yet either that's going to be fun for rifle of course you need that we've got a powder funnel so this is going to be what we're. Going to use when we're charging cases. In some cases when we're pouring powder back in sort of thing look at this. Hornady lock and load bench scale so this is another product that i haven't tried it looks like 1500 grain capacity. An electronic scale of course is. Something that's going to be a mainstay something that's kind of like required equipment let's get the press out that's what you all probably want to see the most look at that wow it is definitely. Iron there's no question about that you. Can see here the ambidextrous mounting. Holes for the press handle that's cool. So into that a little bit more looks. Like i have some parts here that have. Settled a little bit in shipment. Assuming that needs to be screwed back in their very nice okay. And got a couple more things here okay. More protective packing materials okay. So this is the stand that goes up on the top of i remember correctly already watch the product video on this one some priming parts okay we've got. Some lock and load bushings looks like a. Pack of three that's going to get you set up for your basic loading operations. With most die set-ups that you're going to need a little tray interesting okay. And then we've got some tools here it. Looks like we've got the case neck inside and outside chamber tools there. We go neck brushes primer cleaners and. Then the eye dod chamber tools I'll open. Up that in a moment another little tray so this is the. Bin rack that mounts to the top of the. Press if i remember correctly okay so. I'm going to move some of this stuff back here because we've got one more. Kind of big thing to take a look at and. That is going to be the powder measure. Unless there's something else that I'm. Not expecting i always like surprises okay alright so what do we have here oh. Yes some more priming system parts in. The handle of course okay. So that's a powder measure mount if i remember quickly we've got the press. Handle this looks the same as the one that you get with the hornady lock and. Load ap and we've got priming system. Parts the explosion shield god-forbid. More as a precaution than anything else. That goes around the outside of the drop tube we have a large and small drop tube, and we also have large and small primer. Pickup tubes okay. So let's see what we've got in here this. Is the powder measure of course it's. Going to be a bench powder measure okay. We've got the baffle all right that goes. Inside the powder measure and keeps uniformed packing down where the rotating drum is working down at the bottom okay. So these are all the parts. That we're going to need to get our powder measure mounted in a bench mount. Configuration and then we're going to have this handle that's going to actuate. The powder measure manually all right. There's a lot of stuff here let me walk you through this i got all the plastic wrap up i got everything kind of set out here of course we have the press itself. This i just can't wait to get started. With it's got a bunch of crazy new features it's a really great-looking design from what i can tell so far so. This is the press itself we've got trays here and again in the next video when we. Get all of this set up and dialed in a lot more familiar with some of this stuff but this is the press handle which has the ambidextrous mount we've. Got all the priming system parts the. Drop tubes the pickup tubes explosion shield the top cap goes on the top of the drop tube there we've got our three lock and load bushings the top. Equipment accessory tray we've got the. Inside and outside case neck chamber primer pocket cleaners case neck brushes. This is going to be our bin for. Completed cartridges our bullets got the. Powder funnel this is a part of the new. Shall holder retention system which I'm. Looking forward to figuring out we have. The powder measure this has the rifle drum and the hornady lock and. Load metering insert system which is really cool you can preset these and snap them in and out almost instantly. We've got the baffle which we can go. Ahead and drop in just wiggle it a. Little bit goes down to the bottom this handle will attach in the setup video we've got the bench mount so this is. Going to drop the powder measure in. We've got the lock ring that's going to secure that down and the screws so check. This out here is the lock and load bench scale this is what the box looks like. For that and this is a really. Nice unit we've got a cover for it we've. Got the tray that you can dispense. Loads into and then weight individually this is a 155 grain bullet here. Approximately so at 156 point 3 so. That's off just a hair not unusual for a. Bullet to be a green or so off point is. The display on this is really nice it's got a big zero button on there we. Can calibrate with the weights that it. Comes with we can switch between grains and grams and ounces so this is going to. Be a really nice and carrots even I'll. Have it on grains because of course when we're measuring gun powder that's typically what we're going to use bullet comparator set i already have this set i bought it myself and it's an indispensable tool in the re loaders. Arsenal this is the hornady 0 to 6 inch. Digital caliper that comes with the kit so it's also got this carrying case and. It comes with an extra battery which is. Really nice what i like about this is the nice large numbers i mean take a. Look at that's really easy to see and really easy to use so I'm definitely. Excited about that I'm going to get some use out of that set of digital calipers we've got the case lube we've got the. Handbook of cartridge reloading. So according to hornady if you look on. The box here it's got everything that. You need except die sets extra die. Bushings metering inserts if you choose. To have multiple metering inserts and then your cases primer and powder. So that is the overview of what comes. With hornady lock and load iron press kit well there you have it the world's first up-close and personal look at the hornady lock and load iron press and the press kit in this case so in the next. Video we're going to get this press mounted to the bench, and we're going to get everything dialed in following that. We're going to do precision rifle reloading for 6.5 creed moor and other. Cartridges so you're going to want to stay tuned if you like what I'm doing here with this video please give it a thumbs up and if you want to catch the entire series make sure that you're subscribed to my youtube channel i got a.

Welcome back youtube today we're going. To be talking about the rcbs rock. Chapter supreme single stage reloading press extremely nice setup very good. Value for the money it's very simple and. Straightforward not a lot of fancy features but for forming cases and things of that nature is a great press. Okay I'm going to show you some of the basic features of it but in a nutshell. You've got a nice sturdy rim here and. The handle is you know got a real nice. Profile to it good large size and a lot. Of mass the press itself the body of the. Press is extremely heavy and strong and. I believe it's a investment-grade iron casting or cast iron you've got just. Under four inches of clearance and then for the die choices you can use standard. Seven eighths a fourteen thread pitch dies pretty much your industry standard. Or you can remove this bushing that's in. Here and you can use the larger dies if. You want to reload like 577 450 martini-henry 50 bmg and so forth the 50. Bmg may not have white enough clearance. With this space in here but it should. Clear because on the box they show a got 1150 on it so the priming arm is set up. In a simple manner similar to the way. You expect on any single stage press it. Comes with both large and small priming. Cups that of course are easy to change out on your own this device right here. Catches all of you spent primers quiet. Reliably the arm of the press can be. Changed over to either left or right-handed as you may prefer this nut. Right here is an indexing nut for tightening out the arm of the press that's really about all there is to it's a really solid unit I'm going to prime some cases on it for you and load up some ammo. I've already been forming some of the 7/7 japanese arisaka ammunition on it or. Forming cases and it does very well with. Forming cases in general and it really. Made short work of that a conversion which is basically just simple 3006. Conversion but it definitely makes a short work of that conversion process it. Looks good very effortless priming operations on. This thing the actual amount of movement. And mechanical advantage that you get with the arm and everything and the. Leverage you get is outstanding i mean you can feel the primer seat firmly oh. Yeah it looks fun i don't know how many. Of you use separate priming tools for. Doing your brass I've always like to prime off the press just because i do. Prefer the feel that you get priming off. Of the press and that's just my. Preference but I've always preferred you. No priming on the press it takes a little longer but i just like the. Leverage you get all right I'm going to. Seat a couple of bullets on this thing. Remove the primer arm out of the way which is nice about this press just flip. It out of the way. Loading 174 green serum match kings from. Arasaka will try them out sunday very. Smooth ram a lot of good leverage. Available i mean it just feels right you. Now you can feel whatever things doing what's going on it's about. All this video was meant to be was just to show this press in action because it. Really is a nice piece of machinery it's made well i mean it's. Just solid and that's the bottom line they're not especially cheap but you do. Get what you pay for to a degree. I like this press too because it's got a. Real noticeable amount of over travel. When you set the press to bump you can definitely tell when it over cams right. There i mean it just does so. Well it's a great press. I'm just basically trying to show some of the linkage working from different angles just in case any viewer curious. As to how it all fell together i mean. This press i mean it just practically runs itself it's just a great setup well. Hopefully this video is pretty much summed this press-up i mean not to beat. A dead horse but that's about all there is to it's a great simple rig that. Anybody can use and if you got some. Monster case forming to undergo it's. Great for that also if I'm not mistaken. I believe our cbs makes a specially. Designed turret that actually screws. Into this press I'll have to do some further research on that but there is a lot of potential for upgrades as far as i know it's a great price either for. Entry-level or for an experienced hand loader you can't go wrong the rock checkered supreme.
Okay the moment you've all been waiting for the fires going okay so you're. Something you're gonna wait today. Videos today's so today's about a bunch. Of boxes with reloading stuff in it you know i got a few little nubs and stuff in there I'll show you after I'm gonna talk about my rock chucker press however. The name is misleading because it does not chuck rocks too bad it'll be so. Music but it's a pretty good press i. Reloaded a few wells I'm this is probably. A couple hundred rounds off of it easy it's not something that you use every day and i got some some of the stuff i. Would hear not everything came with the. Kit I'll show you the kit in the box. Here some of the stuff i will review. Separately this is everything it comes with and this is a boat of probably five for 5,500 bucks whatever it was that's. Pretty much everything it comes with and. You would think that it'd be enough i think you know but it's not there's always other things you got to buy so I'm gonna do probably each thing of the. Equipment kind of separately i will start with the press i might not get it all done today but it's just so much to do to cover so here's the press and how. It works is pretty straightforward you know you put your you got your shell holder here okay. And you'll have to get a different shell holder for different calibers this fits. No problem for the 308 and. Yeah make it difficult to do one hand but anyway this fits the 308 shell older. Or up to three 3/8 lapua now in here. I have the sizing and died of pop. Out the primer i didn't add it on but. You can get a what comes with the press. Is a little arm that comes out here what. You put in this groove here and when you're coming down it'll actually seat the primer for you okay and that's fine. And dandy at all but it's extremely slow. To do it that way so because you have to. Basically take the shell put the primer case in their okay flip that little arm. Bring it down it'll seat the primer case it'll probably see the problem a lot. Of guys but telling me why they don't like that as much is because you through. The arm you can't feel that the primer being seated is easy and what ends up. Happening is that you can over crush the primer into the casing i. Haven't used it so i don't know because. I used basically another tool that I'll. Show you but basically when you get the rock trucker press which you can buy the press by itself they will not come with a single die you have to buy your die separate because they don't know what calibrate them is shooting right so there's a lot of add-ons you're going to have to buy another but it is a it's a. Very solid process cast iron opposed to. Aluminum you're gonna pay more for it. But you know that's what that's why. People love this press it's a single stage press different stage presses a. Lot of people don't understand when you hear single stage you know two stage. Press you can get presses that will do. More than one thing for example this does one action out of high yeah I'll just grab my casing here I'm. Just curious well that buddy so yes you. Got one stage out of time so you put in your okay, so we'll see we put in my. Fresh piece so I've now shot I'm not. Gonna push all the way down there's this dry case, but we'll say the case is lubed up i put it in their okay i pop the. Primer out and you can see all the primers i got lying in there and it's popped out i pulled it up now the case of shape so i take the case out that's one stage now i put my primer in i now. Put the case back in okay and i flip the. Larm right down now see did the primer. Okay now take it out again i go over. Here then there's powder in their thank you for mr. powder i put it back in again I've changed my die I'll talk about the. Dye separately i grab my bullet put it on like so and. I'm definitely not gonna push it up it's not the right time i push it up now i got myself a round all done so that's uh that's pretty much. How it works but you can see that at. Each time you have to kind of redo. Everything when you have a multi-stage press which you'll pay a lot more for. You'll do one will take out the. Primer and it'll scoot over you'll be. Like a round eye that turns each time you pull the arm down and the next one you can put another shell case in it and it'll do that action again and the next action it'll then you know put it in a. Primer and you can lower the powder in. You know with one of these which I'll. Cover that separate then from there you can go and do it again it'll do the. Bullet and each stage wall you know it goes around so i you know you can do a heck of a lot more a lot quicker how. Many rounds per minute can you load i don't know because either way i do. Everything i do everything in different stages i you know for example i clean. All my cases at once i also i lean all. My cases at once i pop all the primers are shaped the casings all at once and then when I'm done that i load my. Powders and i put them all into a shell. Holder like so and i got some 300 win made here just for you to look at I'll load it all onto there and then once this is full of all the powders i usually don't do more than about five rounds at a time because one thing about reloading is you have to give it 110 percent attention if not your again the difference between a pipe bomb and a. Rifle is pressure so if you load you. Now if you're not paying attention you can overload the case with too much. Powder and you know or the wrong powder. You know which could be very violent dangerous so you want to do it as safely as possible so it's kind of one of those things that oh yeah well I'm just gonna sit down and I'm gonna do. 80 casings and you know nothing's gonna. Disturb me and everything you're gonna do your first casing and you're ready to go you've got all these sitting with powder and you pull the arm down here somebody called you and you kind of. Go do that you know because most of the time is like here's what'll happen can you get them to call back oh it's really important you gotta talk to them now okay so you go talk to them and then where were you when you came back you know or it shoots up the enough. Time night okay I'm not gonna get this all done so do little bits out of time now if you have a multi-stage you can do. As many rounds as you can do i always say do the rounds and tell it once you're not concentrating then move away from you know go do something else. So do a little bit whatever is you know maybe your epic i could load 300 rounds in a row you know and now if iron-clad. Concentration maybe you're that you've got a td and you can do three rounds or two rounds or whatever it is you find what works for you but as far as the press do i recommend that i highly recommend it was highly. Recommended for me other people are. Saying like this is the press that you know it's more expensive even the guy in. The story goes he goes you go he goes I'm not on commission and there's something i used to tell people in a store look I'm just giving you the honest answer it's not I'm not on commission you know it's just it works. So can you break these things yes you can break them you could twist them hence why you should never over force if. Something is really difficult to do there's probably a reason why something's probably jam or misaligned now i made a kind of makeshift bench. Definitely not solid enough make sure. You have a good solid bench that's how. You twist things and break things i just you know I'm just really careful when i. Do it and you know do as i say not as i. Do so to speak you know the dice very. Easy to get it is a standard fitting. From what i understand so if you have a look skewed be a layman's press or rbc. Ass i forget the other one there's a couple of different well it's quite a few different brands out there but the rcbs is definitely this is the rock. Trucker for ib it definitely is a very. Every everybody I've ever talked to that. Is majorly into reloading if you're going to buy a single stage press this is the one to buy that said yuma you're. Gonna get I'll probably see in the comments i had wanted it sucked you know but you know you find what works for you. Like i mean everybody can get that the. Product that was built on the monday or the friday this one. It's it I've had no problems with it i don't use it every day but i you know. I've got a again a couple hundred rounds. And I've only owned this thing for a little over a year again i don't use it every day but when i use it gets you know it sees its mileage so to get into. It you're gonna spend it like i mean be prepared to spend close to a thousand dollars by the time you've got everything you know but you could start with this will get you going plus the dye I'll have to buy separate no matter what calipers and you're. Probably the case trimmer that was. Separate i bought some things this is. The thing you best to buy a kit to start with because for example i bought this. When i first bought by what's called my. Winchester and I've already covered me. Loader kit i bought this and of course this. And that was pretty much what i needed to get started and then of course you. Get a books now the thing is when. You get started it's like okay well you want to get into more than i decided to get the press so now i have two basically two of these and this is very. Common with guys that get into reloading they'll start off with a press like this, and they'll be like okay well i do too. Much reloading to really be slowed down by a single-stage press so you know you. Could flog all this who somebody else who wants to get in reloading flog all this put it towards okay yes its something I'm gonna do something I'm gonna get into yes i can go up to a two-stage or an automatic press i mean you know you the sky's the limit of what you can do you know as far as reloading goes you know it's all okay well i reload you know 700 rounds at a time you're not gonna want a single-stage press for very long i don't load that much to me the single stage press it does what i want to do. I'm not providing the army with ammunition not by providing law enforcement with the ammunition I'm just providing me some target recreational. Ammunition and hunting ammunition so for me i don't need to do to stage surprise if you have the money sure but then. There's the guy who goes out, and he buys you know the ultra deluxe press and low. And behold he load reloads maybe once a year once every other a year, and he spent you know $$1,0001,500 $2,000 on. Something that's excellent and automated. But he never uses it you know the type of guy that and if you're this type of guy I'm not putting them down it's just it's just cuz i know what people are like with you know and stuff like that you know is they'll buy. 20 rounds okay, and they'll reload at once they realized that okay this is actually a lot of work no matter which way you go with it if. You're going for precision for example these things they'll give you an. Approximate granule at measurement if. You're loading precisely yes this is a quick way to reload for bulk but you. Need this you definitely need this so. What i do is i get this i fill it up i put it set my scale and i put it in there and then what i end up with is you. Now you know accurate accurate reloads then i get my accuracy so i have. To take my time no matter what if because i that's all i look for is accuracy not for bulk which you know you. Could say i look for bulk in the fact that I'm loading for accuracy multiple. Times over you know a couple hundred. Rounds out of time but i might not do a hundred rounds in a you know to me if i can get twenty ten rounds twenty rounds in a day loaded like that once you get. To the point where you're seating the putting in the powder and seating the bullets that that part goes quick but. It's all the preparation up to that point that's really slow inspecting the case is cleaning the cases sizing the. Cases popping the primers out that takes a while you know that takes a while it's. It's not difficult it just takes a while then of course you've got after that you. No dumping the powder in again i have. To powder measures but unfortunately i lost one of my little bowls or didn't. Come with it maybe and i don't know if i can get these separate if i can haul it because then i can you know kind of increase my reloading now let's say okay. Well that's too slow well you can get automatic things for example cleaning the cases that's one of the next things that'll probably build on to this is. Getting a case cleaner you know why a. Case trimmer in a case cleaner that's automatic is much quicker. And it's more automated the more precise. You can get the more precise you can get so there's a bunch of accessories that i can get so at some point i may say okay I'm gonna sew off this this and this I'll sell off everything and just great to another kit but for now this'll know next couple of years I'll get my money's worth out of it you know because again if you're going to spend a thousand fifteen hundred bucks on. Reloading its something that you want. To make sure that you like to do that it's worth it for you to do isn't necessarily cheaper to reload not necessarily depending on the caliber the. Bigger the caliber the cheaper kind of gets the more off common the caliber the cheaper it gets for example if you're reloading say 303 british you tend to. Save a bit more than if you're reloading. Say 308 which i 308 it's just because. It's so available common on the shelf that it becomes to the point where it's. Almost harder to reload it than it is to. Buy it not all the times i mean but i mean at one point i was getting the junk ammunition the russian stuff 11 bucks a. Box right there's there's no way i can you know 50 cent's around i probably. Load for between 60 and 80 cents around. On the minimum maybe a buck 22 a buck 60. On the high end depending on the bullet type and all that stuff but you know the. Casing is the only thing that's reusable out of a out of it so at the end of. The day you know a good solid press is what you need i don't know what else i. Could really say about it's such a basic thing that there's really not a lot you know like everything is sturdy all the connections are sturdy when you get it you put it together it's heavy probably weighs about 20 pounds i. Don't know maybe 10 pounds 15 pounds. Easy if you drop it or bump it in this. Cast iron you can break it don't over. Force it fairly easy to take care of you. Now just same with the dies and all that but anyway that's the beginning of the rough check chucker press i highly. Recommend one it doesn't really matter what you go with i do say if you are going to get into it either go ultra. Cheap like a lean loader kit which will. Make something the idea that you here's. The basic of it you're putting bullets together with a hammer okay so if that just makes you cringe. Then this is probably not the way you want to go but it's a great way to start I've haven't had any problem and I'm. Gonna dispel a myth right now that and. I'll just take this one so you can see it you get a little bit of load out of here this is almost everything you need but even when you buy this for like 30 or 40 bucks you're still going to need okay a case trimmer and a method of. Powder and that so you're still looking at by the time you've got your book and everything you're still looking at $200 to start you know this is cheap now people will buy this and I've seen them do the most dangerous things i just grabbed this they dump it into their shelf they don't cuz they do that's just. To scoop it doesn't tell you how much powder well it does but it doesn't tell you in grande grains and not every show. Is going to use the same grains but some. People say well you can't get any accuracy out of this those people are stupid that means they don't know what they're doing you can make the ammunition as. Accurate with this as you can with that. Providing you have the other supporting tools for example if i do not have a case trimmer then my accuracy is going. To suffer if i do not have the proper powder measure my safety will suffer the. Powder scale and so will you know that. That's where it gets the consistency is in the powder it's in the primers and the case lengths its details this just. Puts the bullets together and the hammer i mean it isn't matter if you have a cheap $2 hammer or a ten thousand dollar hammer it still works the same and then of course your calipers this is probably again the most important tool out of the whole thing cuz this tells you where your precision is so just to start you're going to need this and this. And this and that so you're looking at. About 200 bucks just to start into it minimum your mileage might vary and then. Of course those two tools so this just takes you from there for their sole interest and so the next question someone's going to ask is if that can. Reload ammunition just as accurately as this and just as good as this why would i want this well. The simple answer is for 10 to 20 rounds. An hour 40 to 60 rounds an hour that's. The difference if you have multistage. Press maybe it's a hundred rounds an hour 200 rounds an hour you get the idea so that's what you're paying for much. Easier to do law it's just it's its. It's smoother and quicker to do than it is with that because that every stage is by hand so to speak where this just kind of does everything more a little. But more automated for you even though you have to remove the show you don't do everything in stages so that's the basic of it I'll leave it at that I've. Got lots more to cover here i don't. Think I'll have time to do it all today i hope you enjoyed rate subscribe again if you're going to get a press i highly. Recommend this because this is a great quality press i don't work for the company or like that but you know I'm the type of guy who broke all my toys as a kid I'm no different as an adult man. You think i would change but i don't so when i buy something I'd rather buy something to spend a little more money even it's almost double the money the. Aluminum presses everybody says they're great and tell you know you're gonna bend them and twist them and to me. That's i just don't want the aggro nice solid cast iron it'll last you a. Lifetime and the good thing about it too. Is if you find that you want to upgrade. To another press away you go sell it off. You know you probably recoup half your. Money and put it towards you know. Basically something newer so anyway I'm. Gonna leave it at that but yes i give this one the major thumbs up so if you are looking at the rock trucker press it's pretty simple there's not a lot of details to it but it does what it's supposed to do it works the way i like it so there we go.

Hey guys its convoluting special welcome. Back to the channel preciate stopping by if you follow me on. This rim you've seen a preview or a snap. It was a while back but you know a. Couple months ago but you were saying. That he saw that i was getting into a little bit of getting started gathering. Gear for reloading i finally got around. To doing a video to show you what you guys I'll show you guys what i got i. Went with the rcbs rock sucker supreme. Master reloading kit has a starting. Point gives you a single stage you know. Rcbs rock chuck or press if you asked. Clover tack over at one gun channels. He's suggest going with a i want to say. It's dillon but i can't be you know I'm not sure progressive that you can take a. Part of the mechanism out so you can use. It as a single stage for learning then you can upgrade it later myself personally this is when oh i want an older version. But this is what i learn to reload on so. That's what I'm gonna continue with I'm not so worried about speed because i find it to be rather relaxing to reload. So I've just decided to say with the. Single stage but i do currently load for. Rifle well i learned originally load on. My 32 winchester special rifle which is. A neck depth 3030 old-school bottleneck. Rimmed cartridge which i have video on. On the channel if you want to take a closer look you know what you know you. Can look up the video on any why it's like to the very first video we ever posted anyhow the rest of the kit. It came with the press the uni flow. Powder measures the bracket to hold the. Powder measure two tips that i would. Thread into the pot into the bottom of the measure that are designed to have. Certain size case next fit inside it now one smaller one larger so that way you. Can dispense directly into casing a beam. Balance for weighing out the charges a. Reloading block brass catcher I'm sorry. Primer catcher not brass a multi size. Allen wrench a pad for the you put your. Case lube which is this here on here so. You'd roll your case back north on here lubricate him reduce the chance of getting stuck a hand primer and the tray. To go along with it which i have tried. On a couple of my 32 casings and it. Works fine now it was to my. Understanding that was the only option i had without buying some additional equipment so i could know what do my primers on the press itself opening it. Up today i come across a reloading you. Now a primer arm that when i look more. Closely i realize I'll be able to do my priming on my pressed which is again the. Way i learned to do it so that's the way I'll just continue doing it I'm not to say it's the best it's just what i know. There is some assembly required I'm not yet familiar with what. Everything is perfect example i have no. Idea what these pieces are I'll have to look that up on the manual you guys have seen some of this stuff not long after i saw it for the first time is the case. Trim and chamber tool. More parts for the reloading arm the one. The one part of the set. Besides the dyes which are caliber. Specific the one part of the set that. This doesn't come with that i still need. To get that i wish it would have come with its a powder trickle if you have a. Powder that throws consistently I've. Been told you can set up the measure. Once you've confirmed that's correct and. Then you can just throw directly into your casings hence the adapter tools i was always. Taught to throw the powder light into. The pan here on the balance because i. Actually learned on a beam balance then. You set the hill on a powder and set the now you know I've powder filled pan back. On and run a trickle charger to bring it. Up to the hell about what it needs to be so that trickle charger is the one piece. I don't have yet and then use a funnel. To put it into the casings. Themselves my apologies and this funnel. Is supposed to be good for it and from 22 calibers all up to 50 calibers I'm I'm. Thinking about getting myself a drop. Tube at some point so i can use that for. Certain cartridges. Other than that when i introduced the. Calibers that i have the equipment to the load I'll show you what I'll show. You what dies i got and what powder. Choices and this kind of stuff up made i will not be providing any you know. Reloading recipes that'll be something. You'll need to look up in a you know a. Sammie spec manual which i actually have. To have i forgot to grab those one thing. Ok sorry about that. Here is a nosler reloading guide 8 this. Actually came with the pressed the other. One i got is the barnes number 4 you. No i number 4 being that I'm in california I'll be required to hunt meat. You know medium game with non lead and i. Do shoot you know i am going to be hunting medium game they also black-tailed deer i have you know barnes. Is most likely I'm probably gonna go with being that it's one of the more accessible or not the cheapest but one. Of the more commonly available slugs for non lead so i picked up one of their. Manuals i do plan on picking up a spear. Manual as well because it's not a bad. Idea when you're getting ready to load a. New manual that's alright a new load for. A new cartridge or just changing loads or whatnot you're gonna want to. Reference a couple of different manuals some are written more conservatively some are written less conservative and. So you'll get even for the same slug. Some powder you'll get different charge. Recommendations so being able to. Cross-reference between a couple different manuals is a good idea so that. Way you can to feel out what a good starting load. Would be because you don't want to load it on too hot because you when you fire. A gun it is a controlled explosion the. Last thing you need to do is loading a. Lot hand load something incorrectly and. Turn that controlled explosion into a non controlled and have a pipe bomb going off in your face there are a lot. Of people over on gunn channels that. Now a far sight more than i do and. There i actually asked them questions as i get a chance clover tack is one of them i don't have. The i don't have logos form but. Seahorse is another one and the crazy. Scotsman has suggested him as one of the things he suggested timox he loads is actually to look up the re loaders. Network.com which I'm gonna try to get over there to get some more information as well alright guys i appreciate you. Stopping by just kind of wanted to give you a rundown as to what equipment i got. YouTube regulations prevent me from. Showing you the process i do plan on. Making a video once i get almost then. The next time you see this it will be set up i do plan on making a video that. Shows kind of the step by some kind of. Some steps that i use and that. Will be available over on gun tube org which is the you know site created and. Owned by night strike if you haven't checked it out yet i highly encourage you do so it just recently went through a series of upgrades which is. You know lovely to hear i mean that's. What I'm glad to hear they're doing well i know he is receiving money from. Patreon but not nearly enough and so if. You can help out that'd be much appreciated you know you can also check. Those you can check me out on gun tube. But you know I'd org so you know i not. Calm your gun tube work as well as gun streamer and utah. Gun exchange or utg you know or huge. Tube as we call it as little well as you. I also oppose to Instagram and. Occasionally to you twitter usually. Twitter's more of a when I'm posting something else and it goes out on twitter to announce that I've been posting it's not something that i do a. Lot of anyhow guys i appreciate you. Stopping by have a wonderful day.
Hello the world time enjoyed here will. Share with you the unpacking of the. The Newest addition to our reloading system. Here this is the it's not complicated it is the rcbs supreme master reloading kit. I like these guys because they have a lifetime warranty on their gear but since i don't often open up new gear i. Thought we would take a second to but. You see what's in the box if you like me you're curious so let's open it up and. See what we got it's not a progressive. Press as a single-stage press what we. Have first things first. Yeah our loading blocks so this is for. Various calibers you'll see here they're marked on two I'm sure if you flip it over its three and four different size. Holds hold different sizes of shells so. When you're working on your shells there's enough room here to get your hands in between and pick them out while. You're priming and go priming and casing and resizing and powdering it always off so loading block this little piece of. Literature here this is a spear reloading manual this is currently version 14 this comes as part of the kit for those of you that are just curious about as buying the kit itself or buying. The parts individually this manual by itself is about 50 bucks so this kit ranges between the lowest I've seen it. Is on nachos com4 289 although they're. Sold out currently let me think. Currently midway sells it for 320. Cabala's does it for 380 and bass pro. Sells it in the store for 354 so this. Kit came from bass pro the manual is 50. Bucks of that all on its own so just. Keep that in mind so you're getting a pretty good value manual for your press not really that. That complicated to use as you can tell the instructions are about four pages long this is your hand priming tool this. Gets a simulator this is for putting. Primers on you lay all your primers in. In here it feeds them through one time and you prime your cases that way so. Powder funnels very small opening. It's got a screw base on the bottom here some of the lock nuts and. Pieces for the press assembly everything. Get more pieces for the press a rotary. Brush for cleaning. Case cleaning tools allen wrench for. Assembling the press and changing tools. Our making adjustments very you know not. A big savings there but you could buy this pretty much anywhere it does take the sizes on that's not everything from 120 to 5/32 case loom. Which we were never well not to say never, but we're not going to use much of ever because I'm using i use a carbide. Sizing die i mean a carbide dies as. Opposed to steel dies so i don't need this case lou pad which again hopefully. I out of me but comes with a kit if you. Don't like it just reset but you go for. My cleaning tool and whatnot here. It's a nice little tool for cleaning. Your primer pockets a stripping tool. This is a manual case trimming tool it's. Not the fun one if you will work at this if you do it this way but it is included i don't know the price if. You bought it by itself but I'm going to say somewhere around probably 15 20 bucks but this allows you to debug and. Trim you clean your cases and now we're. Down to do parts and this pretty box. Contains our powder measure yay what. Once calibrated in measures delivers. Powder to our cases let's see it in. Detail well better handle goes here this. Is your juice with just my lab over. Reloading scale 505 of five our cbs. This piece by itself is well i saw that. I use for a hundred bucks they tend to go for about 110 dollars 125 you might. Find was lowest 99 so just a heads up. Here if you like me and you already have one of these just sell the one your hand i don't really need to I'm probably. Gonna keep you for a while because you know two is better than one out that I'm. Gonna keep the box for now there's out. Scale let's be careful not to damage the. Scale figure out this packaging it is a. Fairly sensitive instrument so try and treat it as such that way go okay. There's our scale of course it's not. Simple yet but that's what it looks like. There're the pieces that you will need so. Hang right hither okay so here's your. Reloading scale for measuring your product don't think that it goes with. Your breathing scale to pour powder into. Your shelves if you're gonna do it by hand order test your loads or let me use. A powder measure i hope and finally oh. The heaviest part of this package if you. Buy this thing online just feel we're probably going to be around a thirty to thirty-five dollars lluvia if it in charge because it weighs about 35 pounds, so he doesn't mind if your local store. Has it for you three-fifty you find online for 320 wells. You might can get about the same price in the store so there is the guts to the. Rcbs o single stage press she's a heavy. Turkey there we go. As everything that comes by the rock. Trucker supreme master reloading kit okay press cross your powder measure. Some tools to work with funnel cakes. Trimmer cleaner primer loading block. Blew his head scale and manual okay so. Really truly you're going to save a few. Bucks by buying the kit so if you're just getting into reloading this is a press i really like rcbs is great if. Anything you buy from him ever breaks and i mean ever you just send it back, and they replace it they will a lot of times just give you a new piece free charge their warranties awesome it's a lifetime on everything they make from dies to presses everything if i break. This if i smash it with a hammer if i drop it's a florida cracks chip whatever they cover it for life okay. So very cool thing about rcbs. That's all for now not going to keep you. Guys long just kind of intro video. And I'll probably put this in this part in other video down the road but i would record today so here it is had a good. Day up.
Once the dies have been adjusted, they never need to be removed or readjusted. Simply snap the turret with dies into the press and you’re ready to reload another caliber.
Makes changing calibers quick and easy. Leave the dies set up in the turret head and change head for fast caliber changeovers. Six stations with standard 7⁄8"-14 threads.
Features a patented quick-change bushing system that lets you change dies with a simple flick of the wrist. With Lock-N-Load technology in your reloading press, you can stop loading, change dies, and start loading another caliber in seconds. If you load more than one caliber, Lock-N-Load will dramatically speed up your reloading efforts. To change calibers, simply twist the die counterclockwise, remove die and insert your next preset Lock-N-Load die and bushing. Because they remain locked in their Lock-N-Load Bushings, your dies stay exactly as you set them. The positive locking action of the Lock-N-Load Bushings hold the dies in rock solid, perfect alignment. The combination of six locking lugs and the close tolerance of the tooling firmly grip the die bushing in place in the press for maximum rigidity and accuracy in reloading. Rubber O-rings on the die bushings give you a better feel when the die is inserted and holds the die tight against the locking lugs to prevent accidental loosening. Once you try Lock-N-Load from Hornady, you’ll never want to go back to your old system.
It’s the reloading press that pioneered quick die changeovers. The Lock-N-Load® bushing system allows for super-fast bushing release, letting you change dies and set up quickly. Change the dies, adjust, tighten the lock ring and you’re ready. Once dies are set for a specific load, this system lets you remove and reinstall dies in seconds. An overbuilt, professional-grade, cast-aluminum frame and linkage ensure durability and lasting service. Features include a Primer Catcher and three Lock-N-Load Die Bushings. The large, easy-grip, ball-style handle is long for increased leverage while reducing effort. The Power-Pac linkage and solid-steel arms multiply leverage applied to make sizing large cases easier. Stability and rigidity are assured by the high-strength alloy frame, and its unique angle gives you outstanding visibility and easy access to the cartridge in the press. An integrated Positive Priming System™ ejects spent primers at the top of the stroke, picks up a new primer and self-aligns to feed and insert the primer at the bottom of the stroke where leverage is optimal. The self-aligning primer arm also allows for easy manual insertion of primers without having to raise the handle. This makes priming easier than ram prime units and better than old-style priming arms. Dies and shell holder not included.

Hey what's up everybody. Brando mcwillie here doing another reloading video seems that people have. Been really enjoying those so i continue. To make a little bit more first and foremost today the carry weapon is the. Kel-tec p38 ii alright kind of like to. Show people they haven't seen my stuff before i kind of like to show the different weapons that i carry on a daily basis because i think it's kind of cool to see if people that do the. Reviews actually carry the stuff they're reviewing so i usually do and i carry a. Variety it just depends on what I'm wearing that day and so forth but i. Thought ways thought that was kind of cool so today i wanted to talk about the. Actual reloader itself I've done a couple of videos on how to reload but i. Never actually went into detail about the my actual press and i kind of wanted. To show that today and kind of show what it came with and what yet so I'm going. To take the camera off the tripod so i can move in a little bit closer and just start taking a look at the press itself. Now show you the box that it comes in here I'm not going to take it out but this is the hardy lock and load classic loader it is not to kit okay i didn't buy the. Kit i bought the actual reloader by itself and it actually comes with the. Loader itself and you actually have to. Take the handle and actually adjust that. And put that on that's not together but everything else is put together for you so you don't have to do any assembly and. If my memory serves me correct i did get. Three of the lock and load die bushings. That came with the loader as well okay. So i didn't have to go out and have that expense for that first time a. Couple of other things that it comes with is the tray that is used to hold. The spent primers okay and that basically just locks on here okay it. Also comes in with a primer tool or primer feeder and two primer i guess you. Call them size sizes or something like that i don't know what you call it but basically i have it set up now for the small primer size primer and this. The one that you would use for the large primers and basically it just unscrews in screws in here but the press itself. Does not come with any mounting hardware i purchased that myself and basically as. You can see here i have like just a basic bench that i had built and it just. Bolts directly on to that bench with some wood screws or wood bolts basically. And used a large washer to hold that in. Place looking at it from this side not. Much difference here you have more access to the bolt but it does a pretty good job and one thing that i recommend is as you load make sure you have a. Quality dent setup as even this one. Which is set up pretty good i think still wobbles a little bit as i pull. That lever arm down but that's not a big deal it still works fine for me the primer. Feeder basically if you can see and. There is a little notch and this feeds. Directly under there and so when i go to. Raise the or lower the ram there the. Primer will be pushed into the casing. Okay so kind of cool so this is what you. Get with it I'm pretty pleased with it. Now if you've seen my other videos you know that i like them a lot and i kind of give you an example of how the lock and load system works and I'll do that with some nine-millimeter dies I'm going. To put this back into the tripod so i can work there so basically here are. Some poor nate'd eyes these are 9 millimeters and if you look at the die. Set the block and load bushings are. Already set so i basically have a set of bushings for each one of my dies kind of. Expensive that's the downfall but it makes it easier for me to load my. Ammunition so i like it so I'm not worried too much about it but basically in order to get that to work is. Basically is basically dropped that in and twist and. It's locked in place and i don't have to worry about screwing it down and making adjustments and so forth now i know that. With a traditional set of dies you can. You know have your retaining not here. Locked into place so once you get it. Flush with the press you don't have to worry about it anymore but still to me this is just so much easier and i just like the way that i. Have it set up so no complaints there at all very easy if you don't want to go. Through the expense of ordering the expensive die bushings you can simply. Just put one in there and then leave it locked in place and every time you want to change out a set of dies you can just unscrew it just like you would in a traditional press so you have the option to do both which i think is kind of nice. Another thing that i am probably i say. That I'm going to get but i haven't yet is there's a tool here that you can. Actually feed primers down into this. Area and it would come straight down and feed new primers here so every time i raise the ram and lower the ram the new. Primer will be fed in i just haven't done that yet there's a spot here for it but i just haven't done it all in all. I'm haven't had any problems with this press at all the only thing that i have had happened this is probably just out of. Wear in use is this pin sometimes will. Pop out and i just have to push it back. In with my hand it's just a retaining pin it's not a big deal I've never even greased this sucker up you can see that it does get dirty you kind of do that when my camera is not that good does get turi dirty dukes working with us spent primers and the dirty brass and all that kind of stuff but it's been great i. Haven't had any hiccups with it at all no problems with it and it was a bit of. Press that I'd highly suggest you know it made it turned me on to other hornady stuff if you look i have a lot of. Hornady dies a lot of horny equipment in. My reloading get up and ability kind of. Happened of this press you know i was going to. Get this press or the rcbs rock crusher i found out that the rcbs rock crusher. Was cast in china and for some reason. That just did not do it for me so i. Decided to get the hornady no one knowing that it was made 100% in the states so that was a big thing for me as. Well so anyway a basic video showing you. The press for those of you who are looking to get one you know i suggested i like it my next. Press would probably be the hornady auto progressive press and I've been loading. A lot of handguns ammunition and i would. Like to have the ability to load a little bit faster now i can load about. 50 rounds in about 45 minutes on this press right here and i can shoot 50 rounds in about 2 seconds so you do the math there so an auto progressive press would be nice, but they're really expensive and i want to make sure that i like this before i started investing a lot of money into reloading i. Found out that i do enjoy it's not something i do every day but it's something that i do maybe once or twice. A month maybe look more net maybe like. More like once a week that i come out here fiddle with something okay and then i get to the point where I'm low on ammo that i start making more so i don't i enjoy it especially during hunting season i like doing rifle rounds that sort of thing too I'm kind of into the ballistic stuff so if you have any questions please comment let me know what you think and you know if you like my videos please subscribe I've got some more gun videos coming up and i hope you guys enjoy those as well you guys take care bye.
Hello youtube how's it going well the. Good news is my bullets here that i had. Left out there after i had cast him for like four or five months ira. I got him quoted they seem to be sizing. Just fine without with any great problems so on fact that i thought i'd. Do a little quick review on my new press i bought i bought louis replace miley. Single stage press which would give me. Good service but it was a little weak. And move around when i had some really. Big sizing to do or i went it really. When i was using the rcbs saul short. Dies on my 300 blackout site really puts. A pressure against it that lee hwon used to just just move around on me and flex. So i built this and we get some of this. Stuff i breed in my room i lubricate. That with a case lube and it gets a little bigger top just makes everything work better anyways i bought me this hornady hecka had it. For two months finally the first time i. Got to use it just works so good i mean. You can tell now that got it how thick. The steel bars are on it compared to. What i had course it's the different than what you're paying works really. Good i might even try reloading some. Rifle ammo on it just for the hell of it i love my hand dillon 650 but we do a. Little short quick run it's not all bad. To play with a single state i've bought me a powder scale that's. Automatic which is nice you just type in what you want and it just spits it out so that's cool i use this mostly for. Resizing bullets and i also use it for. Like i say prep work on brass i'm i. Write the brass i d prime it sometimes. I'd be priming it by hand if i'm bored but i can deprive it on here and case. Size it cuz you got a little bit right and i'll actually do cuz my brass doesn't get filthy my brass just drops. On my cement and so i can actually do. The process it without you know getting. The dyes all filthy so i'll go ahead a. Little bit do all that get it resized. Trim it if i need to and then i'll go. Ahead and run it through my wet tumbler. To clean it it comes out really nice and clean and then i'll run it through is. That dylan loudoun i don't have to use a resizing die of course which is ok on. The rifle but it works. The only problem i've ever had and this is not a problem the deal and that's the problem with how clean the brass comes. Out of the the wash is sometimes it will. Catch on the case expander cuz the brass. Is so clean on the inside even you'll. Have to push it and it'll pop a little bit i'll actually looby outside of that with some dry lube i got dylan's answer. To it is you know just humbly clean your brass with media and not wet clean well. I don't like all that stuff because. Quite frankly it gives me coughing fits to use that stuff and i don't want to do it and the brass is is clean and it takes a long time don't want to let you wet clean so. That's what i do when i put up with it sticking now on that on there yeah this. Is the first actual reloading thing i've gotten to do in my room it's all been cleaned really room flat home was thinking i'd have to recast this stuff because it got so hard but good it's. Double sizes okay quick this press is a lot more power than the other one does i barely have to give it any effort at all we're on the other one i'd have to. Stand up sometimes hold it and just this. Is this easy of course 357 aren't bad. Anyway because i don't sighs in the 356. Exercise in the 357 works really nice. Pick me up a 380 a little american ruger. American rifle threaded the barrel so. I'll be able to use my silence on if i ever get my paperwork. So anyways boy when i was reading i was. Up north on my cabin and i've had a bottle of it eight or a five pound oh it. Looks like an eight pound of it's pipe on trail boss guys reading on trail boys. You can load all kinds of stuff with that down use it for subsonic well hell i'm. Gonna give that a whirl and some stuff oh i'm leaving loves them subsonics for. The 4570 just for the hell of it okay i. Gotta shoot some i got crazy i got a lower 400 brass board i bought. But i tend to go nuts and darn if i. Didn't load all all the brass subway. Like i'm gonna shoot 400 rounds of 40 facets so whenever i shoot i always get. That red cloud engine fire 10 rounds down lorraine i got to build me up on a batch of you of spent brass so i can. Play with it again but at the wait a while though. So i got so i bought some a little bit. Of manufactured ammo one box for the 383. Excuse me and i shot four rounds through. It i'd like to shoot a little bit of. Factory first before i start throwing my hand loads in it that way i got problems. With i know the guns working before i started throwing in another variable which is my crazy stuff maybe this is. Just a little quick review on my hornaday black and load single stage. Press love it's worth every time it's. Really nice i don't have a bass guitar. It's got a little basket goes here for the be priming i normally deep rhyme by. Hand i got a little cute little deal like that deep rhyme with which is. Handheld you can do it anywhere and do it sitting in the house and do it one night as i do it sitting out sighs nice but it's a little cool for that today because it's winter time just about. Coming up on the first of the year just. Sitting here playing i got to go in real quick and my granddaughter's here so she can open her presents she wasn't here christmas just wanted to do a quick. Review what i had done a video and forever there we are. My not gonna have to do tests and really. Those are sitting out there i forgot about him what happened then the trail. Being all everything's clear so i don't know if i'm gonna do 45 before i could really want to cast a 45 acp i got a new. Mold just can't wait to play with that bad boy. I have the bullets for the 308 i got the. Dies ordered and stuff i'm gonna blow in. With the tradable ross powder i can load. The smaller the lighter bullets subsonic. There's a load for time on the website hodgkins 308 on 150 grain bullet well. Mine 153 great yes i'm gonna try those. Same i'm walking away if i'm losing your. Audio it's the same same size bullet and. Look 300 black but you know there was that trail boss i bought that hell a year or two ago and just stuck it on the shelf forgot about her fact i even. Bought that it had a local gun store i. Didn't buy it online here's what i paid for it but i looked at it a while that's a lot of money for my five-pound sorry what i did is i tend to save it but you. Don't use very much gets so big i'm kind of excited i wanna play with that. I brought my new gun oakland tactical. They're really nice people to deal with they got a nice website went down there. Drove down there from where i live 20 flint and saginaw terrific people and wanted to buy some. Primers they want to pay a hazmat fee. Just for a some box of primer so i've never seen these before i did a little. Searching on the internet for him didn't. Find a heck of a lot a few people using them some people liked them some people didn't so they were cheap enough god. I mean retail that's what they were if. They're any good i might have to give them a call see if they have a bunch and go down and pick up like four or five boxes but i only bought 500 brass for. The 308 and i'm going to share him half with my son-in-law as he's i bought a. 308 weird they are type design at an. Auction i got it it was a little screwed up that. Wasn't happy with it i just says you know i'd rather have a. Ball to action so tony he was like huh. Buy it from you so i gave a little deal and i took a little hit on up in that very big he would have paid me what i offered for it i want to get my deal so. I sold that to him and i bought me a bolt action truth is i got the ars you. Know why yeah but they are in case you have to use a bit i really just to play i like shooting bull action i really like shooting a single-sized those are fun but bold actions are probably my second favorite. So we're gonna try and find out if anybody has any comments about these primers let me know we got good news bad. News these are large rifle is that the. Hell of a deal on i think they're made in russia or something ok i don't know. Nothing it's russia obama seems a hater but i don't have any problem with him. Never understood why russia eyes hated us and we hate to do during the second. World war we helped them a lot and they helped us we were allies yeah i know we. All i never understood why we had to. Hate each other i've never made these sense talk to. Everybody i hope everybody's having a great holiday hope you had a good christmas hanukkah if you have a chanukah and new year's coming so see. You next year hopefully it'll be a better year than this year bye-bye.
Loading handgun and rifle ammunition has never been easier. Just add a bullet and pull the lever – it’s that simple. All other operations are fully automatic. One loaded cartridge is produced with each pull of the lever. Primers, like the powder, are fed only if the case is present. There are no wasted primers or spilled powder. An alternate loading sequence lets you load only one case at a time. Change calibers in just minutes. A Pro Auto Disk Powder Measure and Auto Prime II priming system are included. All handgun calibers also include a Carbide Pistol Three Die Set. The .223 Rem includes a rifle charging die. Calibers: .38 Special/.357 Magnum, 9mm Luger, 40 Smith & Wesson, 44 Special/.44 Magnum, .45 ACP, .45 Long Colt®, .223 (includes rifle charging die. Not available in carbide.)
Started a new hobby bullet reloading ice. Too but i started shooting a lot more. Just because i picked up my interest a. Little bit some reason i don't know why but i shot a little bit years ago and. Then ice piqued my interest again i have. No idea why but I'd enjoy it just shooting i don't carry but anyhow this. Is a video just on this lead 1000 press. Which I've seen quite a few videos of. Bottom and most guys do not like them. Well i wouldn't say most I'd say half-and-half 50% don't like them 50 cents. Like him and i like it but i like to. Tinker with mechanical things so to me. Would it oh he's operating operates good and it. Operates most of the time and it's very it's me usually it does something wrong. Either i don't follow through with the press or something screws it up but it doesn't take all it takes about a minute to get it going again and you can let up 50 shells bullets or let me get this. Right to be politically correct i guess. Rounds i guess it would be called 50. Rounds i probably only loaded maybe 400. Rounds at that just to see if i could do. It you know and see if i liked it and i do like it i picked it up for 240 bucks. But that wasn't just the press was like 180 now these just round figures, but they're close and then i got. Also the scale when i picked it up hornady scale which i think he said it. Was like a $30.00 scale $29 or something. And i got some primers one box primers. There's couple boxes there and i also got bollocks i think two packs a full 200. Poets i think a hundred twenty-five. Nine-millimeter by the way 125 grain and. I think i don't know 15 grain i don't. No 145 on her but that don't matter they're just about $1 more per hundred. Between the two different grains the potter was $22 so like i say everything. Come — it was under 250 250 bucks and. That was enough to get started where the. Guy who sold me this thing he had hornet. Be there we're gonna be loader we're not. Going to be I'm sorry um reading i think. Reading loader you know i wouldn't have. Walked out of there with the loader just. A loader you know just the operating thing as what's out there dies and goes out to powder measure. Without all that so it to me this is the. Way to go if you like to tinker if you. Want something that's gonna work smooth right out of the box which this did sort. As soon as i set it up it worked to find but i needed to know what i was doing it. Had to read the directions if you're not. Mechanically inclined I'd stay completely away from reloading completely but i haven't used any other. Re loaders so and i can't really say that. I guess that's a broad statement. But anyhow if you're looking at one and. You like to tinker with your car or anything else and you do like shooting its worth getting one right.
No. Hey guys kid hill here gone scare and. Freedom today I've got a review or a leave progressive 1000 reloading press i. Picked one up on ebay back when reloading presses were really hard to come by and i paid about i think. I paid about two hundred and seventy dollars plus shipping at that time they were going for over five hundred dollars for this press so to me that was pretty good deal without after the hype is all. Settled down of course the prices have dropped, and they're much easier to. Acquire however i needed something that would load nine-millimeter because i. Shoot a lot of nine-millimeter i have several and yeah i just had to have a. Press and i really wanted to get to be. Able to reload some 9-millimeter so I'm. Going to go ahead and do a review of my leave progressive 1000 press today and. Show you how it works and how easy it is. To operate today we'll be reviewing the. Lee pro 1000 progressive three-stage. Press for 9-millimeter and I'm going to. Show you guys how it cycles. The first thing with the lead progressive press that you'll notice is there's a red hopper for powder. It also has just below that a disc. Powder measure it's an auto powder measure and it does measurements by. Volume moving down you will see the dies. And over here is the primer magazine and. See if we can get a better picture of that the primer magazine is basically a. Place that if i hold the light right you'll be able to see all the parameters i have loaded basically you just load up. A bunch of primers i try to keep it about a hundred and no more for safety reasons but you load up about a hundred primers in there, and they trickle down. Into your press automatically sometimes. You might have to give this thing a little tap like that and it usually you. No knock some of them down the hole like it's supposed to if they quit flowing then moving along you have these. Big tubes here full of empty brass and i. Believe each of those tubes there's four of them and i think they hold about 25. Rounds approximately and then down lower. Is where the action happens. You basically have some places where your shells rotate I'm going to start. And show you one i could do several up. To three at a time in there but I'm just going to do one and explain what's. Happening as it's going around the first. Step is that we're going to put an empty brass casing in so I'm going to pull the handle back a little bit and I'm going. To manually insert one you'll notice that the case still has the primer in it. The old smith primer we're going to knock that out of there this is what happens in the first pull of the handle there's actually a needle up in there. That you can see it's right there and it. Will actually poke the primer out, and we'll do that right now oops sorry I'm really shaky. Gotta index the round first there it's. Indexed you can see and then it's going. To go up into that neil there you sorry. About the lighting guys and it has just now put the primer out and then down it. Comes it will spin over to get a new primer put in on the up push of the. Adil so we push it forward and it just. Seated a primer i felt it go in and then. You'll also notice down below that I'll. Come around the websites you can see this station up here is where the powder. Will dispense from once that casing goes. Up in there, so we're going to go ahead. And crank it up in there it's going to. Drop some powder down there it was it. Just filled with powder my press is a. Little sting at about this point here and then it's going to swing over here. Where i can put a slug in it and I've. Got both hollow points and roundels I'm. Just going to use a round nose will slip it in on their just like that and you'll notice up there it just goes. Right in there and trips it down a. Little scrimped and down it comes sorry. For the shaky camera and it just spits. It put down on this tray and there you. Have a nine millimeter round and the. More you make the more they spit out so yeah that's a pretty little slick device. I love it I've already loaded almost the. Full box not quite but of those full-metal-jacket round noses and i like. It i really like this press there are a few things they don't like about it like how stiff it is after it loads the powder on the back up so it kind of. Hangs on me for some reason not real sure why kind of afraid to put some lube down there because I've heard lube can mess up the primer and stuff like that so i don't want to get any lube down there I'm kind of afraid to do something like that so I'm not sure what's causing it to stick maybe because it's new and it hasn't broken in yet or maybe that's just common with these i don't really know but i think what else is there oh yeah. When i first got this press also from the factory i had to use this to set the. Depth of the seating basically for these. The first bullet i ever did i crimped it. Way too far and it went way down into the shell. Casing and that's not what you want to do so what i did to fix that is i took a factory federal 9-millimeter round and i. Indexed it into the press here there's a. Way to put the press in the neutral by pulling it about half-way up and then. This thing will free turn and you can index brass into it and go and reverse. Kind of like this and you can just index. It well i indexed it to the position of the crimp and it had a slug on there already. So i just cranked the handle up in there. And then i went up here and i dialed it down until i felt the screwed that down. Until i felt it touch the tip of the. Round nose slug on the factory load and then i knew i was at the proper seating. Depth for these type of slugs and of. Course it just spits it back out when you're done i can tell you guys right now this is very addicting it's almost nerve calming i would say actually like. Too real and then i would it's almost like an addiction and worse than smoking cigarettes i. Think i can't wait to like put the next. One in and create the handle a few times is kind of kind of cool let me reload a couple more just for fun of it. Not too bad. I've been putting the tray like this so. I've got several it's kind of dark. Murray what's a nice little white your. Blue crazy like what yeah bullets not. Too shabby. Cute. Actually like the little press and there. Is something else i want to talk about on this press and you'll notice there's this round thing and I'm pretty sure you. Can see that there's a ton of primers in here this thing can be dangerous. I have recommended to only load about a. A Hundred of the primers in there and the. Reason is this is an automatic feed from. This primer magazine down this tube here. Into your press and you'll kind of see. If i swing around over here that there's some maybe if i get the camera on the. Bar there are some primers down in here. Well it's really hard to show you but there're some primers that you can see, and they automatically feed down and. This little what does that do that. Little device right there presses them. In and sometimes if you get one in there. Kind of wrong it could crush it and of. Course we all know what happens when you crush primer you risk ignition and if. You ignite that primer. You're going to blow this thing apart. And get hurt or something else there are. Some videos out on youtube that show that actually happening i don't want it. To happen to me one more thing i want to mention that magazine here is the. Booklet to come with the press says that. They recommend that you only use Remington or cci number 500 small pistols. Primers i have picked up back when. Primers were hard to get ahold of a box of federal small pistol primers and. Actually picked up four boxes because. There was plenty of them and i have not used them because again I've heard that. People have had issues where they've blown this part up because these are too. Soft and when this little apparatus down. Here where my thumb is pushes the primer. Into the bullet casing it has a tendency. These can bind crush and explode and i. Don't want that happen so i thought i would throw that into my list of peeves that with this press you can only use the recommended ones to be safe i mean. I'm sure you could get away with these but why chance it so i just thought to. Throw that in there so highly recommend that anybody use progressive press. Definitely or any reloading press for that matter use safety glasses for god's. Sake definitely save your eyes and maybe. Your life and yeah he'll be well on your. Was this little powder measure also can. We turned on and off by twisting it. Simply that's off and then this is on i. See mine's a little loose for some reason and it should. I'll probably be cranking out some rounds to take out to the range for one. Of my shooting videos I've got a bullet review to do brass by bill llc donated. 100 rounds of hollow points for me to review and i want to run the review but. They're not little flaky ones at. All they're pretty neat so anyway I'm. Going to review those shoot them see how well they perform and i give my overall opinion of them but i think they're pretty solid so far thanks guys for. Joining me for this review of the lead progressive 1000 press so you can see it. Works pretty effective but there are a few things that you have to get used to. I mean it's not something that you just jump on and think everything's going to go perfect it takes a little bit of fine-tuning some adjustments definitely. Have to pay attention or things could go seriously wrong and like i said i recommend using some safety glasses when you're using this thing because if something blows up in your face those will save your eyes or your face. And yeah i like my eyes I'm sure you do. Two or else you know without eyes you can't watch my videos so think about that anyways you guys like my videos. Please subscribe to my youtube channel leave comments down in the comment section if you have questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer and as always thanks for watching have a. Good day. You.

Positive locking action holds dies in perfect alignment
Solid steel arms
Positive Priming System
t’s the reloading press that pioneered quick die changeovers. The Lock-N-Load® bushing system allows for super-fast bushing release, letting you change dies and set up quickly. Change the dies, adjust, tighten the lock ring and you’re ready. Once dies are set for a specific load, this system lets you remove and reinstall dies in seconds. An overbuilt, professional-grade, cast-aluminum frame and linkage ensure durability and lasting service. Features include a Primer Catcher and three Lock-N-Load Die Bushings. The large, easy-grip, ball-style handle is long for increased leverage while reducing effort. The Power-Pac linkage and solid-steel arms multiply leverage applied to make sizing large cases easier. Stability and rigidity are assured by the high-strength alloy frame, and its unique angle gives you outstanding visibility and easy access to the cartridge in the press. An integrated Positive Priming System™ ejects spent primers at the top of the stroke, picks up a new primer and self-aligns to feed and insert the primer at the bottom of the stroke where leverage is optimal. The self-aligning primer arm also allows for easy manual insertion of primers without having to raise the handle. This makes priming easier than ram prime units and better than old-style priming arms. Dies and shell holder not included.
The hornady lock and load auto progressive press or ap for short it's a. Fully functional five station progressive press that gives you one loaded round with each pull of the handle today we're going to go through step by step how to set it up so stay. Tuned let's get started when you get your horn. Indy lock and load comes in this nice big box fully packed from the factory impervious to shippers abuse and what. You want to do is slide off the cover get it right and start taking out the. Goodies there's a lot of packing in here. Take your time try not to lose anything. Here's the actual press and it's a. Beauty along with that you have some. Other goodies in here there's our powder. Measure and priming tools here's some. Powder measure dye our lock and load. Bushings there and a bracket for our bin. There's our ammo bin and it has a drum. For our powder measure inside yes when I'm setting one of these up i do read the manual it's essential so. Now that we got everything out we can get started the first thing we have to do is bolt the press to the bench and to. Do that I'm gonna have to drill some new holes in this bench. Okay now that we got the holes drilled we can go ahead and mount dress up and. For this hornady recommends five. Sixteenth inch bolts with a washer on. Then like I've got here the length will vary depending on how thick your bench top is I'm using four inch bolts here. They seem to do the trick for me and get. A bolt in there tighten them up as you. Normally would like any other tool of ice or something you tighten down doesn't have to be super tight you just don't want this thing moving around and there we go that's plenty tight this thing is solid as a rock you can pick the bench up with it if i could pick the bench up alright. Now we've got to install our handles get that on there so now we want to secure. The handle by tightening a slop net with a crescent wrench hand the basic press. Is mounted and ready to go so let's move on to the next step which is mounting the shell plate and before. We do that heatedly wants a little bit. Of grease on the base of the press here there're little indentations here for the. Ball detent, so we're going to put a little grease in those and that'll make. The thing ride a lot smoother you want to take this keyed area right here and. Make sure it fits the corresponding stud. On the press nice and easy. At that point it's just a matter of. Putting the screw in place it doesn't. Have to be super snug and i lift up on. The handle creates a little friction on it lift it up. Look there we've got a ratcheting press it is working hornady sets these up at. The factory to ratchet properly if you. Find that it is not coming all the way around to each station you need to. Consult your manual to find out how to retirement or call it one of the tech they can walk you through it if they have to so the next thing we want to do. Is to put the shell retainer spring and. This is a spring right here it's a nice coil loop around the shell plate. And it goes in place pretty easily but. You have to cycle the press a couple times to get it to drop in and there it. Goes now it's running in its groove here and it'll hold the shells in there. Stations all the way around at each station check and make sure everything's. Advancing properly each time you raise. The ram it should be coming up on each. Station on each die station here there should be a shell holder opposite it this one is working properly horn d sets these up at the factory and. If it's not indexing properly there are. Instructions in your manual on how to fix that or you can call workaday's tech support they can walk you through it also next we want to install the priming mechanism now this came equipped ready to go for large primers, and we're loading 45 acp, but we've decided to take. It apart so you could watch how it's put together first thing to do is take the. Priming ram here and hook it up to this. Little spring right here which is hard to reach their district up this puts the. Tension on your priming. And then we place the cover on top that. Retains it. Now before you install yours be sure those parts are clean and oil-free no. Debris no rough edges just double-check. It makes sure the primers have a nice easy path to follow. Because progressive one of the most. Important things you can do is make sure that your primers flow properly okay as. You see it moves back and forth there it gets cam to back and it goes forward. Lines up here and you've got a primer in place once there's one to feed so now. That we have that in place we can screw the primer shield in place and that's. Very easy that just screws on those outer threads down there next we want to. Put the inner tube in and there are two. Of these so make sure the one you get. Corresponds to the primers you want to use to see one's got a large hole one's got a small hole we're going to use large primers, so we'll go with this one. There's a slight rebate here and you. Want to put that down so it'll go into. Its recess inside there and nest properly don't go once you have that in. Place this little guide goes on top that. Centers everything up so now when you go. To feed primers from one of these. Centers it up for you pull the pin primers fall down you're fully charged so that's the priming. Setup everything's running smoothly so. Far so good next we take our lock and. Load powder measure and being careful. Not to lose any of these levers or anything on the way we're going to put it into the die, and we're going to take. The activation arm slip it over its locking not here tighten that in place. Make sure it's moving freely now this. Device is called the powder stop or a powder measure stop excuse me and what. This does is limits the travel this powder measure so when your case hits the top of the die and hits that expansion point all the pressure is going to be borne by this rather than your mechanism and your powder measure pretty good idea it's all taken up here. All the stress so you don't have to worry, so we'll put this in place over. The two spring points, and we'll put our spring first on the top then on the. Bottom make sure we have good positive. Return pressure that way when the case backs out this comes down gets another. Load of powder you don't want your powder measure to jam up now we get to. Test it takes a case loading station one. Index it over station — there goes out. Powder measure now we're not feeling a. Lot of resistance at the end and this isn't bottoming out, so we're going to need a little more adjustment here I'm going to tweak that up. There's a little bit let's try a bullet in there just a little more just need a. Little more there. Let's see what it looks like. They're bullet stays in the case it's. Gonna stay oriented for the next seating step, so we'll call that good pablor. Measures ready to go we can lock down our adjustments and proceed now that. We've got the powder measure installed we can install the hornady powder cop and what this does is gives you a visual verification of the powder level in the. Case it'll show you if the case is properly charged it will also show you if there's a double charge in there which can be disastrous so this is a great idea when you're loading on a progressive now to install it again we. Want to put our lock and load bushing on their put it into the press it'll be on. Station three right next to your powder. Measure takes a prime case run it through. One. Charge it with powder comes over now the. Powder calm and you can see the white. O-ring just shows above here we can. Adjust this up just slightly so it with a proper powder charge and I've weighed this already so i know I'm throwing the proper charge it comes up about flush that way every time you put the handle. Down your eyeball will fall on this. While ring and see that it's at the right level so let's take the same case. Leave the powder in it and run it through and give it a double charge and see what it looks like there's the. Second charge and there the o ring comes. Up twice as far now it's not a huge difference but now there's a gap between the die and the o ring so your eye should pick that up instantly it's right under your nose it's out their right in front of you on purpose so when you see that you know you've got a double charge case next. We're going to install the bullets eating die went ahead and installed the. Sizer die in station one that's pretty easy nothing to figure out there the. Cedar die takes a little bit of finagling depending on what unit you. Have now we're using the horn of the die here which crimps and seats the bullet. To proper depth in one motion it's got two adjustment rings for the bullet depth and for the crimp I've got a bushing on it, so we're going to lock and load that in place and what we'll do is. Take an empty case, and we'll just run it through without powder or without primer. We're just making a dummy test case I've. Looked in the horn of the manual here our overall length is one point two. Thirty one inch two hundred thirty thousand for the 230 grain xtp bullet. We're going to load, so we'll go up the. Station one size it normally we would. Prime right here charge with powder. Next station is the powder cop nothing. Happening because we have no powder station for take an x t p bullet. Goes up seats the bullet crimps there it. Is next station if you wanted to crimp. Separately there's still one open station so if you want to add a taper crimp die to that you could and just sat with this one some people like to do that especially with cast bullets where you might shave a little red off them but this particular unit works fine just as is so you'd go up to the next. Station and then it would eject the. Shell and you're done and from then on. Each pull the handle will give you one. Loaded round that's what the aap is all about okay with the press all set up and. Our test rounds looking good we're ready to start loading ammo you have any questions on how to use this or set it up give us call in the tech line we'll be glad to help you out thanks for watching see you next time. You.
The hornady lock and load auto progressive press or ap for short is a. Five station reloading press that gives you one loaded round with each pull of the handle today we're going to show you step-by-step how that procedure goes so. Stay tuned, and we'll start loading some ammo loading ammunition on the order of the lock and load auto progressive is pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it let's take a look at what it takes with ammunition together on this press first thing you want to do is get. Your primer tube and charge it so you can charge your primer system up here and to do that you take your tube put. The primers down face up and collect. Then in the tube very fast and easy once. You have your tube filled with up to 100 primers you take your gravity rod out. Here put it over the primer shoot. Release the primer and make sure they. All go in once you've done that replace. This little plastic rod that helps the primers feed properly we've got the. Powder in there we've calibrated our charge, so we're ready to go let's take. One case run it through the whole cycle and see what's actually involved here today we're loading 45 acp, so we take a. Case put it in station one that resizes. It and it also rejects the spent primer. If you have one in there they were using new brass so no primer to check out as it comes down it comes to the priming. Station and you have to push forward on. Handle to seat that primer after the primer seated pull back on the handle. Again it goes to the powder station case. Activated powder charge comes through. Will only happen if there's a case there's no case nothing. At this point since we're just beginning. I'll take the case out and you can remove the case just about anywhere on this press between stations and I'll check it on my own ad scale if the. Charge checks out I'll replace the. Powder put it back in the station this. One's the powder cop we see that we have a full charge here the little o-ring has come up flush next up we have to grab a. Bullet because we're going to seat in. The last station. And that seats and crimps the bullet. Coming down we have an extra station that does nothing although you can crimp separately if you want to and the. Easter system kicks the case right out and into this andy little hopper that clips on to the side of the press here so it's that easy now once you get going. Here's how it works see if the primer. Put in another case first case is. Charged put in another case the second. Case is charged so from this point on we. Need to grab a case and a bullet with. Each cycle of the handle to keep the chain of events flowing so case is in place as the charged case comes up out a. Bullet in it seed it another case. Another bullet. repeat is needed you can load as many or. As few rounds as you like this way now. Once you've run out the cases you just keep cycling and adding bullets as needed until you've run through all the. Cases when you're working up a load if. You have questions about how much powder or which powder to use go to the good. Book like i always do it's all in here. Just about every caliber you're apt to load it's gonna be covered in your hornby manuel can't recommend it too hard pilot it also lists your overall. Length of the cartridge so once you load. A cartridge get your calipers out. Measure it makes sure you're where you. Need to be overall length is important it affects pressure and it affects feeding especially in automatic pistols and semi-automatic rifles so go to the. Book when you have a question I've been using the horny lock and load progressive for years i have two of them set up at home one loads exclusively 9-millimeter with a case feeder and a bullet feeder the other set up primarily for 45 like this one although i use it. For 38 357 40 caliber 10 millimeter 44. Magnum and a few others i just can't. Remember right now including 223 of course i found it to be a very reliable machine i like the priming system in it's. Much more reliable than others I've tried i use it not only to load animal. But i use it a lot for progressively. Resizing cases kicking out primers so i. Can throw them in my vibratory tumbler makes it go much faster all you have to. Do is put cases in you don't have to put take them out like you would on a single-stage press now the horny lock and load progressive is a great progressive press but it also works fantastic for single stage operations for example if you want a deep prime and. Size all your brass and then throw it into your tumbler use your ap it's much easier just take out the dies you don't need the lock and load system makes that super easy gently take out your powder. Measure so it doesn't spill set it aside. Now you're ready to size and deep prime. As fast as you can go so let's grab. Cases. And it'll automatically eject them you. Don't have to grab many cases it's the. The Easiest way to go much faster than. Having to take the case back out again of your shell holder on your single-stage crust another great thing. About this press is you can use it to swage primer pockets with the hornady primer pockets wager now this is pretty. Slick it's only available for two to three and 3:08 and what it does it let. You put a case on the post run it through the three dies the last die automatically ejects the case so you don't have to grab that case either just. As fast as you can put them in you can swage pockets I've I've done primary. Pockets a lot of different ways over the years and this is by far the easiest I've ever seen now remember when you're using this press you've got five stations to work with but you can use anywhere from one to five so if you want a size like i did earlier and just do nothing else you can. Do that if you want a size and flair the neck you can do that if you've got all your brass processed and just want to charge it with powder seep the bullet and crimp it you can do that if i have. One or two operations to do say I'm forming the case to another caliber or. Something it doesn't get any handier. Then this you get a finished case with each pull the handle whether you're loading ammo resizing ammo it's really a. Slick machine it's sturdy I'll never be able to wear one of these out as long as you follow. The instructions and do what quantity tells you because believe it or not they understand how this thing works you won't have any problems i do have to. Look at the manual when i adjust this machine i really have to look at it when i set one up the one we set up for this shoot even though I've got two at home that I've set up i got the instructions out and looked over them very carefully a lot of going on here and when it's going. Right it's very simple that's why I've had great success with. This brush and I'm gonna be using it for. Years to come now the horny progressive works great for pistol but it's also size to do full-length rifle cartridges so if you want to load 308 30 odd six you name it on here it's more than up to the task the only. Difference is the process is lubing the brass now the old-fashioned loops that used to come in a tube like toothpaste that would be a messy go around. But hornady has the one-shot taste loop. Where you just lay the cases out on newspaper or on cardboard spray them down according to directions let them. Dry for a little bit then put them into your bin and load as normal no different. Then pistol from that point the dyes will be a little different but the process is the same every pull the handle will give you one completed rifle. Round now in addition to the press and the dice quantity makes a lot of accessories for this we're using a hornady scale today or if he makes these bins and two sizes large and small to. Hold your shelves to hold your bullets in your cases they make different. Attachments different guys there's a ton. Of stuff, you can add to this press including a bullet feeder and a case feeder if you want to get really automated but for me this way this is. Set up I've got one of these at home for 45 just like this i put them in manually. Works great for me if you have any questions about the hornady lock and load auto progressive press or on reloading in general give us a call the tech line we'll be glad to help you out thanks for watching. You.
Hello youtube how's it going well the. Good news is my bullets here that i had. Left out there after i had cast him for like four or five months ira. I got him quoted they seem to be sizing. Just fine without with any great problems so on fact that i thought i'd. Do a little quick review on my new press i bought i bought louis replace miley. Single stage press which would give me. Good service but it was a little weak. And move around when i had some really. Big sizing to do or i went it really. When i was using the rcbs saul short. Dies on my 300 blackout site really puts. A pressure against it that lee hwon used to just just move around on me and flex. So i built this and we get some of this. Stuff i breed in my room i lubricate. That with a case lube and it gets a little bigger top just makes everything work better anyways i bought me this hornady hecka had it. For two months finally the first time i. Got to use it just works so good i mean. You can tell now that got it how thick. The steel bars are on it compared to. What i had course it's the different than what you're paying works really. Good i might even try reloading some. Rifle ammo on it just for the hell of it i love my hand dillon 650 but we do a. Little short quick run it's not all bad. To play with a single state i've bought me a powder scale that's. Automatic which is nice you just type in what you want and it just spits it out so that's cool i use this mostly for. Resizing bullets and i also use it for. Like i say prep work on brass i'm i. Write the brass i d prime it sometimes. I'd be priming it by hand if i'm bored but i can deprive it on here and case. Size it cuz you got a little bit right and i'll actually do cuz my brass doesn't get filthy my brass just drops. On my cement and so i can actually do. The process it without you know getting. The dyes all filthy so i'll go ahead a. Little bit do all that get it resized. Trim it if i need to and then i'll go. Ahead and run it through my wet tumbler. To clean it it comes out really nice and clean and then i'll run it through is. That dylan loudoun i don't have to use a resizing die of course which is ok on. The rifle but it works. The only problem i've ever had and this is not a problem the deal and that's the problem with how clean the brass comes. Out of the the wash is sometimes it will. Catch on the case expander cuz the brass. Is so clean on the inside even you'll. Have to push it and it'll pop a little bit i'll actually looby outside of that with some dry lube i got dylan's answer. To it is you know just humbly clean your brass with media and not wet clean well. I don't like all that stuff because. Quite frankly it gives me coughing fits to use that stuff and i don't want to do it and the brass is is clean and it takes a long time don't want to let you wet clean so. That's what i do when i put up with it sticking now on that on there yeah this. Is the first actual reloading thing i've gotten to do in my room it's all been cleaned really room flat home was thinking i'd have to recast this stuff because it got so hard but good it's. Double sizes okay quick this press is a lot more power than the other one does i barely have to give it any effort at all we're on the other one i'd have to. Stand up sometimes hold it and just this. Is this easy of course 357 aren't bad. Anyway because i don't sighs in the 356. Exercise in the 357 works really nice. Pick me up a 380 a little american ruger. American rifle threaded the barrel so. I'll be able to use my silence on if i ever get my paperwork. So anyways boy when i was reading i was. Up north on my cabin and i've had a bottle of it eight or a five pound oh it. Looks like an eight pound of it's pipe on trail boss guys reading on trail boys. You can load all kinds of stuff with that down use it for subsonic well hell i'm. Gonna give that a whirl and some stuff oh i'm leaving loves them subsonics for. The 4570 just for the hell of it okay i. Gotta shoot some i got crazy i got a lower 400 brass board i bought. But i tend to go nuts and darn if i. Didn't load all all the brass subway. Like i'm gonna shoot 400 rounds of 40 facets so whenever i shoot i always get. That red cloud engine fire 10 rounds down lorraine i got to build me up on a batch of you of spent brass so i can. Play with it again but at the wait a while though. So i got so i bought some a little bit. Of manufactured ammo one box for the 383. Excuse me and i shot four rounds through. It i'd like to shoot a little bit of. Factory first before i start throwing my hand loads in it that way i got problems. With i know the guns working before i started throwing in another variable which is my crazy stuff maybe this is. Just a little quick review on my hornaday black and load single stage. Press love it's worth every time it's. Really nice i don't have a bass guitar. It's got a little basket goes here for the be priming i normally deep rhyme by. Hand i got a little cute little deal like that deep rhyme with which is. Handheld you can do it anywhere and do it sitting in the house and do it one night as i do it sitting out sighs nice but it's a little cool for that today because it's winter time just about. Coming up on the first of the year just. Sitting here playing i got to go in real quick and my granddaughter's here so she can open her presents she wasn't here christmas just wanted to do a quick. Review what i had done a video and forever there we are. My not gonna have to do tests and really. Those are sitting out there i forgot about him what happened then the trail. Being all everything's clear so i don't know if i'm gonna do 45 before i could really want to cast a 45 acp i got a new. Mold just can't wait to play with that bad boy. I have the bullets for the 308 i got the. Dies ordered and stuff i'm gonna blow in. With the tradable ross powder i can load. The smaller the lighter bullets subsonic. There's a load for time on the website hodgkins 308 on 150 grain bullet well. Mine 153 great yes i'm gonna try those. Same i'm walking away if i'm losing your. Audio it's the same same size bullet and. Look 300 black but you know there was that trail boss i bought that hell a year or two ago and just stuck it on the shelf forgot about her fact i even. Bought that it had a local gun store i. Didn't buy it online here's what i paid for it but i looked at it a while that's a lot of money for my five-pound sorry what i did is i tend to save it but you. Don't use very much gets so big i'm kind of excited i wanna play with that. I brought my new gun oakland tactical. They're really nice people to deal with they got a nice website went down there. Drove down there from where i live 20 flint and saginaw terrific people and wanted to buy some. Primers they want to pay a hazmat fee. Just for a some box of primer so i've never seen these before i did a little. Searching on the internet for him didn't. Find a heck of a lot a few people using them some people liked them some people didn't so they were cheap enough god. I mean retail that's what they were if. They're any good i might have to give them a call see if they have a bunch and go down and pick up like four or five boxes but i only bought 500 brass for. The 308 and i'm going to share him half with my son-in-law as he's i bought a. 308 weird they are type design at an. Auction i got it it was a little screwed up that. Wasn't happy with it i just says you know i'd rather have a. Ball to action so tony he was like huh. Buy it from you so i gave a little deal and i took a little hit on up in that very big he would have paid me what i offered for it i want to get my deal so. I sold that to him and i bought me a bolt action truth is i got the ars you. Know why yeah but they are in case you have to use a bit i really just to play i like shooting bull action i really like shooting a single-sized those are fun but bold actions are probably my second favorite. So we're gonna try and find out if anybody has any comments about these primers let me know we got good news bad. News these are large rifle is that the. Hell of a deal on i think they're made in russia or something ok i don't know. Nothing it's russia obama seems a hater but i don't have any problem with him. Never understood why russia eyes hated us and we hate to do during the second. World war we helped them a lot and they helped us we were allies yeah i know we. All i never understood why we had to. Hate each other i've never made these sense talk to. Everybody i hope everybody's having a great holiday hope you had a good christmas hanukkah if you have a chanukah and new year's coming so see. You next year hopefully it'll be a better year than this year bye-bye.
With a high-torque 110-volt electric motor and extra-large case bowl, the Automatic Case Feeder transforms your Lock-N-Load AP into a fully automatic press. It will handle four-times the cases of most other auto feeders, and it feeds every cartridge that fits standard Hornady shell plates. Fits your existing AP press. Easy to assemble, it works with four different case feeder plates (sold separately).
You. If folks just here with a quick tip for. The for those of you with the workaday lock and load and the case feeder if. You're like me you love the case feeder but can occasionally be frustrating with. Having various issues you know feeding. The cases either when the plate comes up. And the shell drops onto the shell plate. You know if you don't have this push rod. And the feed tube and just adjust. Perfectly you sometimes know the case drops a little too early or a little too late and the result of that is that it. Will land on bounce off and you know. Kind of slow you down so I've seen a couple different people, and they will. Attach a small piece of tape cardboard. Or something right here to help kind of. Catch the case as it comes down out of. The drop tube i didn't really like that. Because as the next case came down if. For instance, it was upside down or whatever instead of tape would get. Start getting bent just kind of got in the way so what i found to be the. The Easiest solution is simply taken a piece of index card this is a actually a piece. Of business card that you would print at. Home roll it up in a tube the exact. Diameter of this piece of tape and a. Piece of cardboard here put it over this over the drop tube you can see i put a. Little notch in here to cut it out for where the vblock feeds up and it feeds. Up just in there and you just slide it. Up i don't have it attached nothing's holding that on other than friction and it will stay there had it on for thousands of rounds and when the cases come down, and they. Drop down into the tube you can see that it is now entirely captured by this. Magus extended tube and pretty much salt. Any of the issues that i had with the. Cases dropping off of the shell plate so. That was very convenient the other mice. Think about this solution is that one of. The things that really bothered me with this whole feed mechanism is the time. That it takes to switch this drop tube out when changing from a smaller case. Like a nine millimeter to a larger case like 45 or maybe a rimmed case like. These 357 that won't fit into the three. Four seven so you fit in there but a forty-five case you know won't fit into. This to the smaller drop tube so you get. To work really reliably you know you have to keep swapping that out but with this i never have to change this too bad i just leave a large tube in all the time which means that i don't have to take this pivot body out which as you. Now you know in order to get this dropped tooth out you know you have to. Take this pivot body out which means. Undoing this screw at the top here which is kind of pain you have to pull this whole thing out put it back on but with this a simple little piece of rolled-up. Index card sit right on their like that. Just we've large tube on all the time and it solves any bouncing case issues. That I've had so now the only thing that i have to swap out is the inside little. Sizing piece which you don't need to.

Hey guys donald bullet for freedom here because i share my hip trained kathy who hangs out on my wall from Dylan precision anyways a lot of you guys that. Have before today ep whether it's the full ammo plant set up don't forget your info wars.com now. We're in the reloading room again i wanted to share with you guys I've got the second set the second press said excuse me because I've got a whole kind. Of breath that I've got to go through and one thing that i was struggling with. Was the primer pockets and so i ended up. Going and getting the lock and load ap. Primer because i figured the rotary. Press and the kind of obvious auto. Indexing we all know at the hornet aap is but i thought about the villain the. One at a time one at a time and i ended. Up going with this simply because i go. Through a lot of 223 brass a lana brown. So what i figured out is if you went. Down to your hardware store to move up here with my osmo you can see that i. Took my exit die attach the hose goes. All the way down. To the bucket so I've done about 800. Rounds maybe an omen rattle over a thousand rounds in the last half hour or 45 minutes but i just wanted to get show you this is where you drop your prime. Your your brass in so that you can. Swage it as it's coming up it's going to. Sit on here you and you move it forward. So you can see as it rotates and does. Its thing normally you drop the dye in here the. Brats in here goes this way and it's wages and then the next one has little rubber fingers that push everything back. Up so instead of dropping one in. Reaching and putting it somewhere else i just attach the hose and it goes down. Right into my bucket and there you have. It so nice clean deep rhymes now I'm. Going to swage it and then get it set up on the ammo plant with the bullock. Beater and get this 223 loaded so thanks. For watching and if you like click subscribe till your family friends remember that lid causes cancer in the state of california so be careful out there guys appreciate your watching.

Hello youtube re loaders thanks for. Watching hornet loader here my standard. Disclaimer i am not an employee of quantity manufacturing nor do i have any interest financially or otherwise miss a low quantity products I've been reloading for almost 35 years and for the last 20 years I've been using hornady equipment almost exclusively hence the name orange loader. The winery logo is a registered trademark of hardy manufacturing grand. Island nebraska welcome to part three of. My four part series on hornady lock and load ap press today's video will be. Looking at the bullet feeders available. From hornady unlike the case feeder the. Bullet feeders will work with any manufacturer's press quantity has both. The rifle feeder that you see here as well. A pistol bullet feeder which is almost. Identical with some changes which will we'll talk about and you can also use. Bullet tubes so let's take a look at the. Rifle bullet feeder first and then we'll. Swap over to the pistol bullet theater and continue our reloading session for. 45 auto okay this is the rifle bullet. Hopper i brought it down onto my. Workbench so you can see how it operates a little easier essentially it has this. Ring around the outside which is going. To rotate it has grooves in the ring so. That it will pick up a bullet from the. Bottom here and transport it up the ring. Until it gets up to the bullet tube and. The idea here is that it's going to collate the bullets and put them in the. Proper orientation in other words the bullet tip is up the bullet base is down and drop them into the bullet tube which. Will then go down to the bullet feeder. Die talk about that in just a minute now we. Have this plate here that's adjustable up and down the idea being is you want. To adjust it so that a bullet in the. Proper orientation in other words with the base down will be held up by the. Plate so it doesn't the bullet doesn't fall back down into the pile the bullets. Down at the bottom if the bullet is upside down in other words the base is up see if you can see that there what. Will happen then is the plate doesn't come up high enough to catch the tip of. The bullet so the bullet will simply slip down and fall into the batch of. Bullets at the bottom here won't make it to the bullet tube so that's how it how. It makes sure that only bullets and the. Proper orientation go into the bullet tube now as a safeguard to we have a. Couple of wiper springs these springs. Here are adjustable so that you can. Adjust them in or out and up and down and the idea being that a bullet that is. In the proper orientation the tip of. The bullet will pass under the spring so. That you know it's able to pass freely but if the bullet gets to this point and. It's upside-down the fatter part of the. Bullet though the shank of the bullet will hit the wiper spring and be knocked. Back down with the rest of the bullets in the bottom of the tub here okay so. Let me go ahead and turn it on you can. See how it operates. One day down here at the bottom there's. One opinion upside down. Right now under falling here's one on the right orientation that makes it all the way to the tube and goes right up to. The right into the bullet. I don't believe the capabilities will. Fill up and you cut out for it we'll. Talk about in a minute. Okay you get the idea. I will collate the bullets into these little steps on the ramp here it'll wipe. Away any bullets that are in the wrong orientation bullets in the wrong. Orientation will fall off here kind of. Secondary safeguard before it gets to the bullet tube so only bullets that are. In the proper orientation with the base down the tip up will enter the bullet. Tube the bullet tube itself is a basically a spring tube and that will. Run down to the automatic cutoff device. On the bottom which we'll talk about in just a second now before we move on i. Just wanted to show you the pistol. Bullet hopper it works exactly the same. Was just a couple of differences on the. The grooves in the outer ring here are. Much larger to pick up the larger. Caliber pistol bullets also the bullet. Tube is much wider too obviously to pick. Up the larger caliber pistol bullets now to change calibers for the pistol. All you have to do is change the bullet tube this is the thick or the wide. Bullet tube there's also a thin bullet tube for some of the smaller calibers like nine-millimeter this one I'll work. With 45 and 40 calibers and so on now. It's so it's easy enough to change over. From large caliber to smaller caliber. With the pistol both bullet feeder it's. A little different with the rifle bullet feeder with the rifle bullet feeder when. You buy it's set up for 223 if you. Want to use it with 30 calibers you need. To buy the 30 caliber conversion kit now. The conversion kit comes with a. Different rotor it has larger steps on. It for the larger caliber bullet has a larger bullet tube. That you need to install also has a. Larger cutoff device and it also comes. With the 30 caliber bullet feeder and. Seeding die so as you can see changing. Over from 223 to 30 calibers with the. Rifle bullet feeders a little more involved than with the pistol theater. With special feeder i just need to change the bullet tube and die and I'm. I'm good to go. Ok I've put the case of the bullet. Hopper for the rifle bullet feeder back on the mounting arm and i just want to. Mention one thing about this mounting arm i mean by the way you can see it a. Little better the mounting arm itself. Was meant to be actually installed on. The surface of your workbench however since i have my press on what in. Line fabrication calls their ultra mount it's about 9 or 10 inches above the surface of the workbench so in line. Fabrication makes a bar here a mounting. Bar for the bullet feeder that attaches. To the top of the ultra mount so it's. It's a way to get the bottom of the mounting bar for the bullet feeder even. With the bottom of the press so it sits. At the right height now this arm itself. The one that comes with the bullet feeder is adjustable you can see the. Bolts here and the slide here where you. Can adjust the whole assembly up and down the pistol bullet feeder comes with. A an arm it's basically the same. Size arm the difference is the arm for. The bullet feeder is not adjustable it's just one big piece. So if you have both the pistol feeder and the rifle bullet theater you'll want. To use the arm from the rifle bullet. Feeder the angle of the top here is. Exactly the same on both and you can adjust the height so when you're using. The pistol bullet feeder you can adjust. The height to be the same as the original arm for the pistol bullet. Feeder or you can adjust it up a little bit for the rifle fear now we. Talked about how the bullet hopper. Collates the bullets and drops them down. Into the tube here well the tube comes. Down and it goes through this cutoff. Device there's a switch inside here once. The bullets load the tube all the way up. To this point here it'll trip that. Switch which will turn the bullet. Hopper off the motor and the bullet hopper okay and down here we have the. Die assembly for the rifle bullet feeder. Now it's a fairly complex die it's all. Kind of one piece we have the actual die. Here the seeder die and then we have the. Bullet feeder extension or attachment on. The die at the top of the extension is. The transverse blocks what they will do. Is when a case is fed into the die this. Block will turn and drop a single bullet. Down into the feeder extension and drop. That into the die itself and then as. But as the ram goes up the bullet. Will be seated in the case and you have your seating adjustment up here at the. Top so let's let me go ahead and show. You how the feeder works, and then we'll take apart this. I died here and I'll show you how this internal workings work in this die so. I'm going to turn the case or the bullet to you're on the first bullet is arrived. Down here at the transfer blocks and the. Tube is filled up to this point here. Where the switch is and has turned the. Bullet feeder off then as a case comes. Up into the die this transfer block will. Pop over and drop a single bullet into. The bullet feeder extension here on the. Die and then another bullet will drop through and you probably heard the bullet feeder hopper turn on again when. This bullet went down I'll do that against you can you know just listen for the bullet feeder hopper to a motor to. Turn on so it makes sure that this part. Of the bullet tube is always full of. Bullets ready to be dropped. Into the die and seated into the case. Okay let's take a closer look at this. Bullet peter died the on the left here. You see the bullet feeder extension to. The die at the top we have the adapter that the bullet tube comes down into just below that we have the transfer. Block that will transfer one bullet at a time into the bullet feeder extension. And then that'll feed the bullet into. The die on the left here which we'll see. Today in the case and as the case goes. Up it'll seat the bullet into the case. And this is the adjustment up here on the tops you can adjust the depth of the. Bullet basically all you do is you. To take it apart you loosen the lock. Knob here and the two pieces come apart. Now the bullet extension here has a. Little ramp on it with a spring and this. Arm at the top of the ramp when they bullet put the spring back in when the. Cases comes into the die here it pushes. This up which then activates the. Transfer box you see how the transfer. Block moves there then the transfer. Block will drop a bullet down into the. Bullet feeder and hit this ramp and that. Ramp will drop the bullet down over into. The cedar die now in the cedar die there. The seeding stem in here is actually. Loose it kind of swings back and forth. So as the bullet comes down it will swing back away from the bullet so the. Bullet can get down into the case and. Then as it clears the seeding stem the. Seeding stem comes back to center and then as the case with the bullet now in. In the neck comes up it pushes the. Seedings down then pushes the bullet down into the case and let's teach the. Bullet so it's its unlike any other. Kind of die you probably dealt with before because of the grant and the. Movable seating stem typically they're. Not movable they sit in one. Position put it back together. I put the spring back on the rod at the. Top of the ramp slide the ramp in. Through the bottom. Then i take the die made it with the. Bullet feeder extension bring this down. And lock it all back together okay so. That's really all there is to the. The die assembly it's basically designed. To drop a single bullet in to the feeder. Extension hit that ramp the ramp will. Cause the bullet to come down into the die and then as the case goes up it. Comes in contact with the seeding stem and seats the bullet so it feeds the. Bullet and seats the bullet all in one step in one die on the pistol cedar. Which we'll see here in just a few minutes the bullet will drop down into. The case in one state you know on one. Station on the press and then it'll move. To the next station where it'll actually be seated it's a two-step process with. The rifle bullet feeder it's a one-step process, and we'll see the rifle bullet the feeder in action in another video. Come that's coming up on loading rifle. Bullets with yellow nail press and also we'll see it in my loading for accuracy. Video series so you won't see it in this. In this particular series we're going to. Use the pistol bullet theater because we've been using 45 autos for our. Four part series for the lock and load press but i will add another. Peace to that another part to the series. So you can see this guy in action. Okay I've reinstalled the pistol bullet. Feeder and now as i mentioned before the. Bullet hopper works pretty much the same. As the rifle hopper the big differences are external one obviously the. Tube here is much wider than its. Accommodate the larger caliber pistol. Bullets it's got a little hanger here to. Hold the tube up so that it doesn't drop. Down and it's able to feed the bullets properly and the bullet feeder die is a. Little different it's not it doesn't have the extension on the side the both. Peter die only feeds a bullet it doesn't. Seat the bolt as well you'll notice I've moved the cedar die over to station five. And the bullet feeder die is in station. For so we can continue our. Reloading process with the 45 auto with. The 45 auto feeder die installed now you. Need a the appropriate feeder diet for each caliber this one's for 45 calibers. They also have a nine caliber or a nine millimeter and a 40 caliber. Feeder diet this is the 45 caliber. Feeder diets so let's continue our. Reloading process from here one of the difference i did want to mention here the pistol bullet fear does not have a. Cutout switch so when the tube is full. It will keep on going you have to. Manually turn it off when the tube is. Full now when you get really cranking. Along the bullet theater your boats will. Be dropping out of the feeder fast and faster than they go into the feeder so it'll kind of even out you won't need. The cut off but i just wanted to. Mention that the bullet feeder for pistols does not have a cutoff switch. Okay let's continue our 45 caliber. Reloading session with the bullet feeder. Die installed. Pick up the case size and you cry. That case well another comes down to the. Skull plate prime it and as our show. Place fills up here I'm just going to make sure I've got the right powder charge i detected several times now but i want. To just make sure we've got five point. Six grains we're using unique powder from alliant still dropping five point. Six so we're right on track. Powder cop looks good I'm going through. The process now here's where things change a little bit with the bullet feeder notice this case has no bullet in it goes into the bullet theater and. Comes down with a bullet insert it into. The neck of the case and then as it. Comes around to station five this case. Will get a bullet this case will have this peter. Well basically on able to reload without. Having to put a new cake casing the show. Play without happy to add a new ball. Process goes much faster suppose the. Case feeder and the bullet reader installed now I'm gonna go ahead and turn on a bullet peter day is activated. And the bullet are installed and that's. Basically how the both heaters work like. I said we're in another video we'll be using the rifle bullet feeder to do 223. I'm going to go ahead and remove the. Activation bar for the case feeder so. That no more cases are fed and I'll go. Ahead and finish up with the bullets. That are in the system now. And there you have it. Bullet theater makes things go quite a bit faster that's all for this video i. Hope you liked it maybe you learn something if so please click the like. Button maybe even subscribe to my channel thanks for watching and happy. Reloading.
