Best 28 cheap Reloading – Reloading Dies

Hey guys i want to show you something that’s an alternative to the mister bullet feeder it’s about 160 bucks and. From a tip that i got from a fellow person at our forum I’ll leave a link. Below i was able to put together some. Very similar setup for about 80. Bucks so right here is the hardy bullet. Feeder lock and load for 9 mils sits. Right there that station and this is the. Lis multi feeder die i guess or bullet. Bullet feeder it’s pretty good. Setup got the tubes right here and it’s. Actually not very long maybe about a. Foot and a half long the problem was how. To set it from here and could not get an. Adapter until somebody turned me on to this well-made cnc’d aluminum so pretty. Well made and it just slips right over. The adapter the bullet misses a nun. Adopter rather and this stable part up. Here makes it so that when you set the. Lis multi feeder bullets nice and stable. Okay. The adapter comes with two inserts one. For 9-mil and I’m gonna probably surmise. That this is for the bigger bullets maybe 40 or 45 right there okay see you. In action. And when your run out of bullets in the. Turret and the tube just twist this over. And the new one just drops in just like. That holds about a hundred rounds this. Multi tube feeder sure beats putting a. Four-foot to my home a good alternative. To the mister bullet feeder.

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 this. Video be a quick examination of hornady. Pistol dies we buy the dies in three die. Sets you get a sizing and decapping die. And expander die and depending on which. Sets you buy you either get the standard. Seating guy or the taper crimp seating. Guide I’ll talk about those in just a second be sizing and the capping die has. A gold ring it’s a titanium nitride ring. There it’s harder than carbide and it’s very slick very smooth ii won’t scratch your cases it’s great for reloading you. Don’t need to lube the cases gives you a. Good size the decapping spindle here. This is the zip spindle it’s actually. Threaded so you can adjust it by. Screwing it in or out you loosen the. Lockout here and you screw the zip. Spindle in and out to get the decapping. In about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch below. The bottom of the die it comes with. Extra decapping pins you can replace the. Pin in there in case you break one it’s not like the old decapping spindles. Where it was all one piece and if you break it you had to replace the entire peace now they come with you xers the. Fact that it’s threaded the old ones weren’t threaded they were smooth and you just kind of pushed in and out to. Adjust it, and they had a tendency to slide when you were decapping your cases. This one since it’s threaded it’s got. A positive lock against moving so they. Don’t they don’t slip anymore okay. That’s the sizing and decapping die you. Expand or die that’s all it does is. Expands the neck of the case so that you can get a bullet down in it i rarely. Ever use these because when I’m loading pistol ammunition i have my quantity. Powder measure with the powder through expander in it so the charging the case. With powder and expansion the neck happens at the same time but if you. Don’t have that yeah it does the pistol. Die set comes with a an expander die. Now the bullet seeding dies whether you. Get the standard seating die at it doesn’t roll crimp or you get the taper crimp die they come with the extra seating stems. 1/4 ball ammunition or around those. Ammunition you would replace the seating. Die inside the die the other scene stem. Inside the die there and this one’s for. Ball and if you’re loading a flat point. Like this around us flat point here it. Comes with a flat seating die so that. It you know works a little better on flat nosed ammunition the standard. Seating guy that comes with it gives you a roll crimp and you adjust the entire. Die down in order to determine how much. Crimp you get the taper crib guy has. A separate adjustment knob so that you. Can adjust how much taper crimp you. Get using the adjustment knob here instead. Of turning the entire die down they both. Have a same kind of seating stem at the. Top or seating adjustment at the top. Unfortunately the unlike with the rifle. Dies there’s no micro adjustable seating. Adjuster for the pistol dies and the one. That come for the rifles won’t work with the pistol size so you don’t get as. Precise a seating adjustment as you. Would with say rifle but typically. With pistol, it’s not the hair off by. A thousandth it’s not that critical and. That’s really all there is to the. Pistol dies of hornady they do have an. American series which is a less expensive version of the same thing pretty much although i don’t think it comes with a tapered eye when you buy it. Dies if you’re looking for a tapered i look for the set that has the taper die with it you can buy the taper dies separately but if you don’t plan on ever using the standard seating die then it’s a. Little more expensive that way 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.

Today’s video we’ll take a look at the hornady cam lock bullet puller it’s a. Really handy little device it’s biggest. Advantage of speed i your time that. Takes me to put a bullet in i want these. Kinetic pullers and hang it on something. And get the bullet out of there and in the case i can do five or six cartridges. With the cam lock bullet puller so that’s. The biggest advantage of speed you’re pressed to pull the bullet instead of. You know banging it on something and these things tend to break I’ve been through a few of these that’s why i always keep two on hand in case one of them breaks and i can i have something. To pull bullets with now the cam hawk. Bullet puller comes in three pieces. That’s what you have your die body you. Have your and you have your cam lock or your can device which includes this. Little pin here which is the push pin those are two pieces to come with. The cam lock bullet puller then you’ll also need the appropriate. Call it for the caliber you’re using now. This particular one is number thirteen there’s 13 different kaulitz available. For different diameter bullets number thirteen is for forty-five caliber and. You’ll notice that it goes on a 45. Cartridge perfectly and stops at the case neck here so that’s number thirteen. Is for forty-five number seven here is. For 308 and 312 caliber bullets so what. You do to then just set this up is you take the cam lock assembly off of the. Die body you put the collet in with the openings. Down and then you screw in your. Can lock assembly now the instructions. That come with this thing are confusing. At best and almost impossible to. Accomplish at worst. I had just mine a little bit differently here you can see i at the end here i see. If you can see this on the video if you. See that as i turn the handle the can. The collet in the end there will come forward and compress what that does then. Is it compresses it around me that’s in. Focus or not but it compresses the collet then around the bullet and then. When you lower the ram of the press since this is grabbing onto the bullet. It’ll pull the case away from the bullet. So the way i adjust it and this is. Totally different than the in the instructions I’ll take the kinloch. Bullet puller off the press all together I’ll take I’ll put the collet in and. I’ll take a cartridge that i want to pull and I’ll just sit it on there on. The collet and they call it the. Cartridge will be stopped by the collet grabbing on to the case mouth here. So I’ll put it on like that and then. I’ll work the handle if the handle won’t. Turn and I’ll unscrew it a little bit or if i can’t turn to you know lever the handle I’ll turn it a little bit or unscrew it and try again if i can get it. Down to a 90 degree i can check to see if the bullet is being held in place if. It is maybe I’ll screw it in just a. Little bit more and see if i can get it to a 90 degree there i can’t so I’m. Going to undo it maybe about a quarter. Turn to an eighth of a turn i can get it down to a ninety degree the bullet is held in place that means. I’ve got my cam lock assembly adjusted. Properly so I’m going to take my locking. Ring here and rock lock it to that in that position okay so next step then is to go. To the press and adjust it okays to. Adjust the die into the press again. I do this entirely differently then hornady does when put my lock and load bushing on there uh what I’ll do is I’ll. Take cartridge that i want to pull the. Bullet on by the way i swap these cartridges together just for this video you’ll notice that some of them are had. A spent primer some don’t have a primer. At all so you’re wondering why I’m using. Beat-up brass and beat-up bullets because i just put these together for. The video uh what I’ll do is I’ll take a. Cartridge i want to pull and raise the. Ram all the way and then I’ll screw the. Cartridge or the die down over the. Cartridge so it comes in contact with. The neck of the case right there and. Then I’ll lock that down now then all. You need to do in order to pull the. Bullet is you bring the ramp up to the top keep this straight up turn the. Handle lower the around and boom and you bring. You handle back up and it’ll drop the bullet out for you put the next one in. And boom bullet pull okay raise the. Handle drop the bullet out for you so as you can see i can whip through these pretty quick much faster than a. Kinetic puller in fact I’d still be fiddling with the kinetic puller to get just to get one cartridge done now this only really. Works jacketed bullets cast bullets all you’re. Gonna do is squish your bullet i. Don’t think it’ll work let me go ahead and try a cast bullet here. It shouldn’t good yeah. Can’t quite grab onto that yeah all I’m. Doing here is scratching the scratch in the lead so won’t work with cast. Bullets but it works great with what. Jacketed bullets very simple to use simple to to set up and that works great. Be careful with this handle here if you pull this handle you know to the side. Too much I’ve heard that they’ll break off of there so when you turn the handle. Make sure you’re going with the. Rotation of the handle and not not against it just to make sure you don’t. Break the handle off they do sell these handles separately which i assume is. That’s the reason people tend to break their handles off so just be. Careful with that than that it’s a handy. Little device goes real quick that’s all. For this video i hope you liked it and so please click the like button maybe even subscribe to my channel thanks for. Watching and happy reloading.

Today i would like to describe the. Proper setup in use of the workaday camelot bullet for it consists of a daya. Bhaji caliber specific collet today. We’re using the 270 and the plunger. Which is used to close the collet around. Your bullet you’ll need an allen wrench. To tighten down your lock ring you do. Have to buy a separate collet for each. Caliber let’s go ahead and get this out. Together so that you know how to. Assemble yours take your daya bhaji you insert your. Call it into the dial body place your. Plunger next. Take your hornady cam lock handle and. Thread it into your diabolic. And the way this works is we got the. Proper tension and you close your handle. It closes that collet around the bullet. Like so. Now let me show you the proper way to install this into your press so that you. Can install yours what you need to do is. Thread this into your press and just get. It to where it’s flush with the bottom. Of your press place your shell into the. Shall holder like so. Raise the ram until the bullet enters. The body just short of the cases over your handle and rotate holding the die. Body rotate until you feel it touch your. Bullet raise your handle print the body. A quarter inch more adjust your lock. Ring and tighten. And now you are ready to start pulling a little your shell into the shell holder raise the ram until it enters the collet. Just short of touching the case mouth. Lower your handle and adjust for the. Right amount of tension tighten the ring. Down for tighter tension adjust the. Handle clockwise for less pinching. Counterclockwise so now that you’ve got. It tightened down lower the ram and the. Bullet should dislodge itself. Raise your handle and the bullet comes. Out let’s go ahead and continue with the. Other four that i have to show you how quickly this can be achieved. Thank you for joining me today and we’ll. Catch you on the flip side. You.

Love it or hate it’s already cam lock. Bullet puller yeah most of us have a. Love-hate relationship with it a lot of. Times its more hate than love but you. Now some of us got deal with it. One of the cheapest things out there once you get it set up all right it. Actually does work but yeah any of us. Who actually own one know that the instructions are sorely lacking — vague. Nondescript and open to her. Interpretation i guess i don’t know how. Better to play um i decided to de male. Some of my oversized two-to-three from. My original point size and i these are. Two to five and they’re actually crimped. These are some of the early ones i did load yeah i put a little crimp in them. Now figured these are 22 long-rifle. Brass so it’s thinner than copper so. It’s softer it’s more easily damaged and. I’ve gotten to where i can reliably pull them without marring them up with this. So when i first got it. Copper-jacketed m193 ball ammo was. Not safe i would uh mangle it i just. Couldn’t get it right i came across a. Video on youtube i can’t remember who. Did it kind of showing how to actually set this sucker up to where yeah. You didn’t mangle your brass like um. Let’s see didn’t do this to your brass you know. Which means the main body is set down a. Little too low it bites the brass. Bangles it and well it’s good for 300. Blackout. But i found that if lets’s see you said. It to wear it you know just barely you. Now they say bring it down to where the. Neck just touches it that’s about it. Just not overlap nothing if you can get. It to come just shy of touching the case you’re better off just that little. Security blanket so to speak which isn’t. Always possible. Now what something i learned that you. Much experimenting was and if a lot of. People will run these up hold the handle. Crank this over and then pull it found. Don’t do it that way because you get two. Opposing forces and by the time this. Bites in you’ve mangled your bullet in. Possibly your case what i found is just. Let this hang out give this a light. Press well a little more than light once. You get it figured out you feel what’s. Right and wrong if it’s too light it’ll. Just slide won’t grip or you know too. Tight you may go through balls you go oh. Okay i figured it out gives it just a. Little bit and oh there it is. Not a mark on it okay pull the tip that. One wasn’t annealed enough but yeah. Basically when you pull this and leave. The you know no pressure on the handle it lets it the bullet slide down until. The cam finds its happy place where it. Wants to grip but not mangle and it. Works and if it doesn’t mar soft brass. Its then copper has even better chance. And thinking who knows for forecast just. Might work yes. And i said these are oversized and I’d. Like crimp in them so there you have it. It can’t be done oh i made quite a few bullets before i. Figure it out um don’t use a posing. Force and just doesn’t have to be kamd. All the way over or any of that it just. Needs to find where it wants to be and you have just enough pressure to bite. Because it seems like there’s just a. Certain part of the ogive where it had. Its maximum bite without you know too. Much force i don’t know how better to put it yeah. Um but yeah hopefully that will help. Someone manuel did nothing for me. Video helped a little bit and then I’m. Not sure how i figured out you know just. Let it do its thing well guess nothing else was working so i. Said who knows it’s been a while and i. Just thought to make this video and. Things are kind of sporadic right now the swaging is yeah pretty much run its. Course that’s like you know come up with. Some modifications or learn some new. Stuff or whatever so let’s go get back. To this and see you next one god bless.

Hey there gavin you hear from ultimate. Realtor com if you’re an experienced real odor and maybe even if you’re a new real odor you might have had that moment when reloading goes wrong. Now there’s a bunch of different outcomes based on reloading going wrong it could be something as simple as you didn’t size your cartridge correctly doesn’t chamber and your bolt-action. Rifle doesn’t feed reliably in your ar-15 or it could be a lot more drastic. So you have a case with a lot of case capacity and you double charge well you. Could end up blowing up that revolver you could end up blowing up that semi-auto pistol very serious. Responsibility and that’s why it pays to double triple quadruple check your load. Data double triple quadruple check your. Components double triple quadruple check. Your powder charge while you’re loading. You can’t be too careful now recently i had such a situation unfold i was. Reloading a bunch of 9-millimeter ammunition i got my 5.0 grain charge of. Cfe pistol dialed in for nine-millimeter. I was off and running well i was using a powder made sure without a baffle in it. And what happened was over the course of the loading session things settled in a bit and the charge level increased now fortunately i was very strictly following my visual check on every. Cartridge policy that i have with myself. It’s either that or use a powder dye. Like a powder cop died of quantity or a rcbs lockout dye from our cbs gotta. Do it get to check every single round. And make sure there is powder and there’s not too much powder so now i. Have probably 800 rounds of nine. Millimeter ammunition that i don’t know the integrity of i don’t know when the powder started to rise i noticed it after a while so it’s kind of junk ammo. At this point now the good news is i can break it all down and i can reuse all of. The components so it’s just a bunch of. Time that i flushed down the toilet now you might be used to these impact bullet pullers this is a frankfort arsenal unit here works really good it’s. Got a in it you put the cartridge in there you tighten it down hit it on the floor and the momentum of the bullet causes it to. Come out of the case and then it captures the pattern here and you can pour it out it takes a while it’s better. For a few bullets that you need to pull maybe while you’re setting up the press you don’t want to waste components or something like that but I’ve got a large. Quantity of nine-millimeter cartridges. Here that i need to break down so i went. Out and i bought a hornady cam lock. Bullet puller this is a dye that you can. Used to use a collet that uses lever action to grab the bullet uses the press. To pull the bullet out it’s really fast or really effective to use so let me show you how to set it up and then I’ll show you breaking down some of this bad nine-millimeter ammo that i loaded so. Over on this side we have what’s included with the hornady cam lock a bullet puller comes in this slip tube case here it includes the die body the. Cam lever assembly and a stem that. Activates the call it also includes printed instructions that tell you how. To set up the cam lock bullet puller now. In addition to the cam lock bullet polar. Components you’re going to need one or more call it’s basically one for each class of bullet diameter that you want. To pull so this call it number nine 338. 358 is the range is the correct call it. For nine-millimeter so what i do is. Insert to call it insert the stem and. Then screw in the cam lever assembly. Just a ways next we will install this on. The press and get everything dialed in. Okay so let’s go over setup now the first note is pretty much any press with standard seven eighths by fourteen die threading is going to work with the hornby cam lock bullet puller tool I’m going to use the hornady lock and load ap because I’ve got it set up for nine I’m going to kind of reload the. Ammunition after the breakdown with this particular press and I’m using station number five i just put my lock and load bushing in that station because I’ve. Good access here to insert and remove the cartridge as i go through the steps here so the first thing i need is a flashlight I’m going to shine that up into where the bottom of the dye will be. At the top of the stroke I’m going to. Start to work the dye body assembly down. Into the bushing go ways down there okay. Now I’m going to take a nine millimeter parabellum cartridge is one of the. Cartridges I’m going to be breaking down raise the ram to the top of the stroke. So the cartridge is inserted into the die this is where are this is where a. Flashlight comes in really handy we need to aim it rights up inside there okay and. What I’m doing is I’m screwing this down. So that the mouth of the collet you saw. Me put in is right at the level where. It’s about to go over the top of the. Case mouth, so we want it just above that level so there’s a slight sliver of. Bullet showing between where the collet. Is and where the top of the case mouth is we’ll kind of dial that in as our. Preliminary setting and now this is kind. Of where it comes down to feel what we want to do is work this seating plug. Down by turning in the cam lever. Assembly and what we want is to have. This engages kind of right at the 45 or. So that’s a little bit it’s actually. Probably not too bad right there could. You just start it to grab it can be a little bit over the 45 that’s fine that will help it releases the bullet a little. But better so we work the lever we pull. The ram down you can see here we’ve got the case the bullet has been pulled we. Dump the powder and then we can raise. The cam lock lever to the top position and it releases the bullet let me show. You the process once we’ve got things dialed in and are up running steady state so once you’ve got the tool set up. It’s really easy to use you’re just going to put a cartridge in hold the cam lock lever up to release tension bear down on. The bullets slightly dump the powder out. Of the case then raise the lever that’s. Going to release the bullet and you’re off and running once you get into the. Flow it’s pretty fast it doesn’t take a lot of tension on the bullet that’s going to make it release a whole. Lot better. Lock and load ap is a good progressive. Press to use here because the case retention spring system works really. Good for quick access to the cartridges. At each station see I’m spilling a. Little bit of powder I’m not worrying about that because it was kind of over full and it’s just kind of a. Reality when you’ve got powder sticking. To the basis of the bullets so I’ll clean up the press afterwards I’ll get. All ready I’ll have pre-primed cases here I’ll reload I’ll double a little triple all quadruple check my load. Should be kind of off and running. So reloading mess-ups are always a. Bummer i just feel fortunate that i found out about this issue in the reloading room rather than out at the range it’s a lot. Better to waste a bunch of time than to have a gun blow up on you or to injure. Your hand loses an eye that kind of thing so i probably got an hour or two more to. Break down all this ammo before i even get to the point where I’m ready to start reloading so I’m going to get back to it but if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you don’t want to miss any of the action on ultimate reload or calm please subscribe to my channel until then safe loading and safe.

Today’s video will be a quick look at the horny powder cop I’ve used it in. Some of my other videos and I’ve made mention of it a couple of times so i thought it might be time to go ahead and. Show you basically how it works and what. It does essentially all of this is a. Tube with a rod coming down the center. Of it the idea is as the case goes in to. The die the powder that’s in the case. Will push that rod up and give you a visual indication at the top here that. There is indeed a powder charge there if the rod comes up too far that’ll tell. You that there may be a double charge in the case for example if you double. Stroke the case when it goes into the. Powder measure now it’s not very useful. On a single stage press it’s really designed to be used on an auto progressive press in the station right. After the powder measure so that the. Case first goes into the powder measure then immediately comes to the next station and goes up into the powder cop. To verify that the powder measure did its job properly so single stage press. It’s really not necessary but when you’re another progressive press and you’re cranking out rounds sometimes you. Don’t always see the powder clearly. You know to see how much powder is in the case or if there’s any powder at all in the case so this just gives you a safeguard to verify your powder charges. So set the powder cop up initially what. You’ll do is you’ll screw the powder count down such that when the ram is all. The way at the top the bottom of the. Powder cop will just touch the shell plate and that will guarantee that the case has gone as far as it can into the. Powder cops you get a better indication. Yeah once I’ve done that i need to. Adjust this rod now what I’ll do is I’ll. Move the white oring down the rod of waves and that’ll hold. The rod up for me and I’ll put a case in. An empty case no powder charge and run. The ram up to the top and then I’ll simply push the rod down until it comes. And comes in contact with the bottom of the case and at that point then the. Little o-ring is adjusted so that when. There’s no powder charge the o-ring will not come out of the top of the powder cops oh no o-ring no powder charge now. I’ll put a powder charge in the case. Here normally I’d run it through the powder measure first to get a proper. Powder charge but I’m just going to the. Purposes of the demo here I’ll just put in what looks to me like a proper powder charge and then I’ll run the case up. Into the powder cup and you can see that. The rod comes up you can see the little. White ring here and what you want to do. Is before you start a reloading session is get an idea of where that oring or how far up that o-ring comes when you have a proper powder charge what you. Also want to do then is double charge your case or put way too much powder in. There put more powder in this case and. I’ll run that up into the powder cop and. You can see how far up it comes when there’s too much of a charge basically. Right now looks like about twice it comes up almost to the first little. Groove in the rod here so that’s a. That’s a double charge there and it just. Comes up you know about that far when there’s a proper charge so before you’re reloading session you want to get an idea how far up the rod comes with a. Popper charging with a double charge and of course no charge at all you won’t see. The o-ring at all now an important thing. To remember this rod here needs to be as. Free as possible to move up and down especially when the case comes down out of the powder cop you want that rod to go back down so. It’s ready for the next case if the rod is getting stuck on you or that kind of thing you need to make sure you clean keep this clean keep the interior of the powder cop clean and you want to keep it lubed with a dry lu not not a oil-based. Or wax based move what i use i either. Use the horny one shot gun cleaner and. Dry lube that’ll put like a teflon very. Thin teflon coating on the rod you can. Also use the hornady one-shot case lube which has the same kind of dry lube on. There you know the tri loop so you want. To use a dry lube so that it doesn’t contaminate your powder because the. Thing is going to come in contact with your powder so don’t put any kind of. Well-based or liquid kind of oil on this. On this rod or that could get into your powder now in the configuration that. Comes when you buy it you know right out. Of the box the problem you’ll find is. That the bottom of this rod the plate or. The part that goes into the case and. Rests on the powder charge is too thick. To fit into a 223 cartridge it’s as well. Just barely enough or small enough so. That a 308 cartridge will go in it so. Really it’s its only useful right out of the box for pistol cases however what. You can do I’m going to take this little. Overhang off the rod and that way i can. Drop the rod out the bottom and remove. It and what I’ll do or if you’ll notice. That the button this is the bottom here that’s what’s normally the bottom and. That won’t fit into the rifle cases but. It’ll fit fine into you know anything from a 380 to a 45 caliber. Case what I’m going to do is I’m going. To put it in the top of the powder cop. Upside down so that the what’s normally. At the bottom is on the top here okay and now i have the thin portion down at. The bottom before i do that though what. I’m gonna do is put the little white bow. Ring on to the shaft here all the way up. Until it touches the bottom piece here and then I’ll put that in and then i can. Adjust it the same way i can put a case. In a rifle case and move it down until. Until the rod touches the bottom of the case and adjust my little o-ring there so that i can tell when it’s has no charge has a proper charge or has an. Overcharge so that’s how you would. Configure it to use for rifles now. You’ll notice that the bottom of the rod. Here does fit into a 223 although it’s a. Very close fit so when you’re bringing the ram up you need to be conscious. Of how centered the your cartridge is on. The shell plate you have to bring it up kind of slow just to make sure that the rod is going down into the case so that. It can measure the powder charge or rest on top of the powder charge in. The case so you’ll get that that visual. Indication for 308 cases it fits just. Fine i shouldn’t have any problem the. Only problem you’ll have is when you have 223 cases you have to make sure the cases is going into or the shaft is. Going into the top of the case just. Right so that it can give you that indication that there’s powder charge. That’s all for this video i hope you.

The horn of powder cop dye is a rather. Simple device consisting of a threaded. Dye body which has standard seven eighths by fourteen threads meaning it can be used on almost any press and as. The standard hornady split die lock ring. And then it has the rod which is. Activated by the powder in the case and. The cartridge being invalidated and this rod can be set to multiple heights. You see the detents here were the o-ring resides it snaps into those. Recesses there and it allows you to set. The o-ring to a particular height and then to fine-tune the setting by. Raising and lowering the die so let’s see how we can set up and use this die on a progressive reloading press all. Right so we’ve got the dillon xo 650 set. Up for loading 357 magnums and I’ve got a. Charged case in station number three so. We’re going to just take a look at how we can set up the hornady powder cop died on the xo 650 we’re going to start out by taking out the pin for the tool. Head and then we’re also going to start with the lock ring down towards the. Bottom of the threads here you can see that’s going to put it below the powder measure, so we don’t have any interference there so what I’m going to. Do is raise the ramp to the top start. Threading the die down we’re just going to hold the lock ring so that it stays. Constant in its relationship with the. Tool head and just continue to screw the. Powder cuff dive until we see the. O-ring emerge right above the top. Surface of the die the exact alignment of the o-ring is up to user problems. I’m then going to take the charge case. And put it back through it looks like we’re just a little bit high compared to. Where i like to have it sort of just going back the die down just a little bit let things settle. So that we get a consistent reading comments about where i like this here so. As you can see it’s very quick to set up. You can use multiple powder prop dyes. One per tool hand or put it in a lock and load bushing if you’re using a single stage or progressive press that. Has the lock inlet system that’s likely going to be a progressive press given the type of die this is so this is an easy diet to set up and use but what you have to do is make sure that you’re extra vigilant about watching the. Indicator each time the ram is at the. Top of its stroke while you’re loading otherwise you’re you’re not going to catch a powder problem so i hope this. Has been helpful for other resources. Including blog posts information. Technical diagrams please go to ultimate. Reloader comm and check out the blog and manufacture specific pages thank you. You.

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. Today’s video be an examination of. Hornady rifle dies now you’re probably. Thinking really what’s to know you get a sizing into capping die you get a. Bullets eating die what else do you need. To know well a little more to it than that now the hornet ii dies come in three. Different grades there’s the american series which i don’t have a set of those. But you can see in the inset it’s basically a sizing decapping die and a. Bullets eating die they’re run about $25.00 roughly, and they’re compatible. With products that are out there on the. Market from other manufacturers now the. Custom grade dies of hornady which i. Have here also come with a sitting decapping die in a bullet feeding die. These are set up so that they can use. Some options and accessories that available from hornady start with the. Sizing and decapping dies the full. Length sizing die it has what they call their zip spindle which is the decaf. Indle the zip spindles actually thread. It so you look and loosen the locknut. Here and then you can actually. Screw these zip spindle in and out you can see it going in and out to adjust. The decapping pin down here now there’s. A zip spindle the oh the old spindles were smooth you would just push that you unlock them the locknut and then you just kind of push them back and forth or in and out until you got them to the right length. The decapping thin on the old spindles. Was actually a part of the spindle so if they be capping pin broke you’d have to get a whole new spindle whereas with the. Zip spindle this elliptical expander. Here can be unscrewed and the decapping. Pin can be removed and replaced trust me. It can be removed it’s a little sticky in their ain’t it but you can get just a replacement to. Capping pin then and put your put it. Back in your expander and then screw it. Back on to the zip spindle. Like so let’s get it on there and then. We bring the zip spindle back in. Adjust it then once it’s adjusted to the point where we want it we adjust the we. Tighten the lock screw down and i won’t. Move now since it’s threaded there it won’t move the smooth sided spindle. If you had say the military crimp on you. On the primer or a primer that was. Particularly hard to get out the cinder. Would actually kind of push itself out whereas with the zip spindle that’s not a that’s not an issue and there’s a. Spindle by the way you can buy separately so if you’ve got one of the older dies with the older spindle on it you can buy just the zip spindle and. Replace it with the new one so you cannot have a six mendonsa the old. Smooth sided spindle now the bullets. Eating die is basically just a tube all the action happens on the inside up here. Is your adjustment stem down here is. Your alignment sleeve which goes in and out of the die I’m going to take. This apart here you can see the insides. Are what’s on the inside this is just a. Screw adjustment screw inside there is a. Seating stem and I’m going to pop the. Alignment sleeve off here you have to pop this wire off like so and then the. Alignment stem will come out what. Happens the seating stem goes down into the. Alignment sleeve like so now what. Happens when you’re seeing your bullets in your cases is the bullet and the neck. Of the case will enter the alignment. Sleeve and note that will do is that will align the bullet and the end the case so that it’s got some sort of. Concentricity that’s the bullet is going straight down into the k the end of the bullet goes into the hole. Here at the end to bottom of the seating stem which helps align the alignment and. Then as the whole assembly has moved up. Into the die eventually it comes in. Contact with the seating stem and that. Will then push the bullet down into the. End of the case see here the end of the. Seating stem goes over the end of the bullet okay so that’s what’s happening. On the inside basically you have everything lined up like that on the. Inside now I’m going to go ahead and put. The climate’s lead back in and to lock. That in place put the spring back on. And i lox the linemen stem back in and. Then i can put the adjustment stem back. In the top when you first buy a new set of dies you want to do that you want to take it completely apart like i just did there and use a cleaner and lubricant on. It they come shipped with a rust. Inhibitor coating on them and that gets. Kind of sticky it makes it gums up all the works i use a hornady gun cleaner and dry lube. That will clean off that rust inhibitor. And they’ll leave a nice teflon lube on. The surfaces so everything will work. Nice and smoothly and I’ll also act as a rust inhibitor. Now using the dies like this is. Perfectly fine you can get nice accurate. Loads but if you really want to improve. The accuracy you really you’re going to create some match-grade ammunition you. Can make some modifications to these first modification is you get rid of this altogether and you replace it with. One of the match-grade dies usually you. Have a next size die at a full size die either one you can use to bump the. Shoulder down the full sized die i typically use when I’m when i have a. Brand new set of a box of cases they’ve. Been Never fired or if i have cases and then fired in another rifle I’ll use the. Full sized i also usually when I’m. Reloading for my ar-15 or semi-automatic. Rifle I’ll use my full size die too to. Help with the feeding mechanism for my. Bolt-action if i have some fire forms cases for my bolt-action I’ll use the. Next size die this will also allow you to bump the shoulder down if you need to essentially match-grade dies. Come with some instructions this is the. Match grade next sizing die comes with. Some extra decapping pins also you have. The option of either using the. Elliptical expander if you’re going to if you need the neck expanded slightly to make it easier to seat the bullet you can use this expander or you can just. Use the decapping piece for instance if. You are going to be sizing your. Neck down for a specific chamber you. Don’t want the expander to mess that up so you can just do the decapping by itself so you have the option you can use either one comes with several extra or a couple extra decapping pins in case. This one breaks you don’t have to replace the whole stem now you’ll notice. The stem is not the same as the zips. Spindle that comes with the custom. Grade dies the. The capping pen is adjusted by loosening. The lock knob here and then you can. Screw it in or out. Using the adjustment knob at the top and. If you can see that is coming out there i can and pull it back in a little bit. So i can adjust it to where i need it in order to properly define the case now. The other difference with the math grade. Dies so it allows you to select the size. Of how the neck of the case is sized for. Example if i take a fire form piece of. Brass this is fired in my Remington 700. If i measure this it comes out to 338. Thousandths know what i want to do with this the neck here I’m going to do the next sizing so. To leave the case alone as far as. Sizing it up or down but i do want to. Size the neck down by about mm well what. To do is you buy the appropriate. Bushings this one is three hundred thirty-six thousand so since the. The fire form neck is three hundred thirty-eight thousand i can buy the three and thirty-six thousand bushing so. That i can size the neck down to three. And thirty-six it will fit my chamber a. Little better what you do is you take the bushing there’s a thick side and a. Thin side you put it with the thick side down and you place that in your die. Then you replace the decapping stem. Now when i size this case it’ll size the. Neck down to 336 thousands and that will. Be just a couple thousandths off of the actual size of my chamber so it’ll it’ll. Fit my chamber a little better give me a more accurate load so that’s the match. Grade diets if you get the next sizing. Or a die or the full size die both of them will allow you to bump the shoulder down we’ll talk about bumping your shoulder down when i get to the loading for accuracy series of videos now i. Replace my sizing and decapping die with. A match grade die so I’ve improved my accuracy there i can also make some. Adjustments to the bullet seating die. Now you’ll notice that the adjustments. Down at the top here has fairly coarse threads so it’s not as easy to adjust. The bullet seating depth you know. Down in it by thousandths of an inch. It’s a little more difficult what i can. Do is i can replace this with a. Micrometer seeing’s down basically i. Screw this in and in place of my course. Threaded adjustments down and now what i have is a very fine threaded adjustment. Here it has a micrometer on it that. Allows me to measure exactly where my. Seating stem is or how far down the seating stem is so that i can repeat the. The depth for a particular bullet or for. A particular rifle particular load whatever i can use. These number don’t know if you can see those numbers on there on the. Video but they’re there trust me i can. See them just fine so now i have a much. More precise way of seating the bullet. Now the member of the seating stem. That’s in there the seating stem that comes with the die. Is good for just about any spire point. Bullet but laundry makes a specific. Seating stone for there a max bullets. The rifle they also have a seating. Stones for their ft x series the bullets. For handguns so if i remove the. Alignment sleeve i can replace the. Seating stone with a seating stone. That’s designed for the 308 a mac specifically let me pop that out here. And this one fits the a max bullet just. Perfectly so I’m going to replace the. Seating stand in the alignment sleeve. With that one and then replace my. Alignments down their line the sleeve rather put the spring back in there to. Hold it in. And there we go now I’ve got a seeding. Stem specifically for the bullet that I’m going to be using for my accuracy loads or my match grade loads. So there’s the custom grade dies or at. Least one of them that have been. Accurized basically they’ve been turned into match grade dies instead of just. The standard custom grade now a pair of. Custom grade dies will run about 45 50. Bucks the masquerade dies are about 45 50. Bucks by themselves so you can either. Buy the custom grade dies and then. Replace the seating and acara. Sizing and decapping die with a masquerade die for about 45 so you’re. Talking about 90 bucks there or you can. Buy just the custom grade seating die. For about $25 and buy the match grade. Die for 45 so you’ve got an investment. Of about 70 you can save yourself a little money i like to buy the set of custom grade dies so i have it the option of either using the custom grade. Die that came with the set if I’m just going to put some ammo together for. Plinking or if I’m going for accuracy then i can. I can use the match grade die so i like. To do both the micrometer bullet seeding. Stem will run about 25 dollars and the. Seeding stem for a max bullets is right. Around twelve dollars so you know you can spend as much or as little as you. Want on a set of dies but i usually go. All out when I’m creating my competition stuff. So that’s basically all there is to the. Quantity diet as you can see it’s more. Then just buying a set of dyes and using. Then there’s a lot of options with the. Hornady dyes that’s all for this video i. Hope you liked it maybe you can learn something if so please click the like. Button maybe even subscribe to my channel thanks for watching and happy. Reloading.

Well I’m finally reloading just deep. Rhyming now with my our cbs universal deep rhyming die I’ve modified it and. Taking the our cbs lock collar off and put the hornady locking collar on there it’s a compression fitting with a set screw going across this way from one side of the clamp to the other as opposed to the rcbs going back in screwing tight right up against the threads of the die i think our cbs were. To adopt a hornady method of doing that and in also I’ve got to hornady lock and load system i modified so instead of. Screwing my die in it’s literally as you can see they are one sixth of a turn and left the die right out really a slick operation got that on all my rcbs dies. You get the rcbs lock and load. Conversion kit that has three of these die bushings and one press bushing for. About 20 bucks don’t know why somebody wouldn’t do that.

Hey youtube it’s chris here with almost precision with a video tonight on these a hornady american series dies so i made. An order offs the graphs last week and i. Just um saw these dyes they were cheap like 30 bucks mmm. Figured i couldn’t pass that up so i got them, and they get here, and they’re in this freaking blister pack so fine. Example of me not reading the description when i order some shit get. These and I’m like whoa where the helps the red case yeah horny guys usually. Come looking like this it’s like what. The heck well turns out these are there. Economize dyes and yeah so let’s take a. Look at what’s in the blister pack and see what i got all right so rip and open. The blister pack here hopefully without. Having to use a knife free shell holder. That’s one thing they advertise with it. All right this is the decapping guy and. One of the unique things about it is the. Sizing ring there is titanium nitride. Coated you know ten they call it kind of. Like your ar-15 bolts then your belling. Die noticed on here while it was in the. Blister pack it had some machining marks. On it. No rough finish whatever economize and. Your seating diet they also claimed and. Boast love they’ll give you a couple free decapping pens couple spares and. Supposedly this thing is full of. Reloading information. A lot of general info here’s the actual. Info they have for 9-millimeter which is. What these dyes are not a lot of. Information there. Literally one load data point oh that’s. Why we buy books right so 33 bucks so. I’ll have to find something to put these. In not gotta keep them in the blister. Pack obviously that’s going in the trash. Not a bad deal don’t know if I’ll buy. More of them though and definitely gonna. Try to read the description more often. As always this chris if you like the. Video please comment and subscribe and. I’ll see you all next time.

Well shooters and re loaders out their fortune cookie 45 else take a minute even hot lads own and you know how i. Like to have a good assortment of these. Universal loading trays on my reloading. Bench these red ones are the mtm and. Blue ones are the newer frankfort arsenal they’re basically copies the. Frankfurt arsenal’s a copy of the mtm. And they both work well they work well. With the wsm short magnums they work. Well for us with 223 nine millimeter 45. Disguisting and they even work well with. The 8 millimeter mazal so you see the. Important thing is when you wiggle these they go back to center, so they stay. Vertical and the frankfort arsenal does. The same thing now the frankfurt are so is a little less expensive than the mtm. Now the back side does the 9 millimeter. And 45 acp only the front side gives. More versatility but how versatile are. These let’s find out you know how much i. Like to load the 45 colt when you put the 45 colt in here it doesn’t want to. Stay vertical you see it doesn’t return to center and. The same thing is even worse with the. Frankfurt arsenal which is a little bit soft or plastic then you see that will stay vertical we don’t really like that. It doesn’t work as well now here is a. 7.62 by 54r russian round and when you. Put it in there you see again it doesn’t want to come back to vertical you see so. It doesn’t work as well with that popular going to a classic american rimmed round the 3030 winchester forget. About using this on the other side 45 9. Millimeters died no chance you put this. In here and again they don’t they don’t. Go vertical so that’s not the best. For our popular 3030 loading and here’s. A real problem with these types of mtm. Frankford arsenal’s universal trace our popular 4570 forget it no chance and. That’s why as you recall i actually made. My own 4570 out of a 2×4 and a drill. That i drill holes in to get this to fit. And of course there are other trays that load this and perhaps that’s why i. Searched for another one so this review is on this is the rcbs. Universal loading tray and it’s as well. Made in china of course but still this. One is a very fine moulding you don’t see any defective mold in there’s. No little flaps or little tags they’re. All perfectly clear receptacles in this. Rcbs loading tray but how good is it as. A universal let’s find out is that the 45 colt in the rcbs is self-similar we. Like that it’s a good one for the 45 colt 3030 winchester see how itself. Centers that’s good in the winchester. Short magnums very nice fit now when you. Turn the rcbs over the short magnums. Also fit not quite as good but they fit. But look at the 7.62 by 54r nicely self. Centers that’s really good and then look. At the 45 70 perfect that’s what i was. Looking for something that the 4570 would be handled and here’s our eight. Millimeter 30.6 308 this kind of thing. That’s good and of course your 223 is a. Very nicely handled fit with the rcbs. Tray so i must say this is a nice trade. Only reason why i didn’t this before was this cost it’s about two. Eight something dollars compared to the. Six something dollars for the other two. Underneath and this one’s really cheap tis this frankford are someone is $6.99. Or something of that nature so this one. Is like $6.99 this one’s 8 something. $8.99 this kind of thing well these are. On sale at midway usa this week for 761. And for that price i decided to get a. Couple of them and I’m actually glad i did these are nice trays in fact for 761. I wish i had bought these instead of those but no matter a couple of these. Will do nicely and these are still good. Trays so these are cbs aren’t bad if. You’re in the market for some more trays. You might wanna look at these for 761. Has a little more versatility than these. However i am not unhappy with these than. A la reloading with these mtm s and as well. Using these now from frankfurt arsenal so these are three great trays for your. Reloading bench and with the rcbs. Reloading tray good reloading to all of you out there take care of see you next video bye for now.

I’ve already done to setup the die but before I get into that one thing I forgot to mention in the unboxing of this die is quite a neat feature that actually made me go with this one over

Hey guys bullets for freedom of liberty here so just got done finished the. Watching the state of the union address and thought i would come out here to the case prep center and I’m just wrapping.
