A reloading "Tutorial" How others reload!

OMG. I'll bet it goes bang...maybe.

.40

I think the label fell off the powder, how's he going to check for recalls?!?!
The recalls, man!


This was truly horrific, I guess where life is cheap things are different, either way - I'm not trying that guys reloads.

Those guys really need to up their game with Lee loaders and wooden mallets. Maybe ream the primer pockets with a pocket knife. And at least clean the brass cases with reptile bedding and car wax. Or at minimum dishwashing soap. Hopefully they poured those bullets from reclaimed wheel weight lead melted on a BBQ pit in an old cast iron skillet.

Y'know, get some precision going with dedicated tools

the powder measure made my head spin

I think the speaker on my tablet is broken. I can't understand what the guy is saying.

It's all garbled....

ETA: These guys aren't making bench rest ammo. They're making battle ammo. Make fun all you want, but I'm betting the stuff works.

I'm also betting there's a few on this forum that have dodged what these fellows are producing.

Where did they get the primers?

W ... o ... w

And here we are sweating details of metering powder with .1 gr variance and getting upset over OAL variance of .002"-.003" (I want .001" OAL variance, damn it)

HoLy CoW!!
Here I am sweating a few thousandths.
Really incredible to watch. Thanks for sharing.

I've never seen such barbaric, medieval reloading practices! Why, they aren't even uniforming the primer pockets! Oh, the humanity!

Is this a Geico commercial ?

Our body bags attest to the effacacy of their reloading. Thank heavens they don't have the accuracy we chase. Looks like they are using a case full of black powder, primers are probably Wolf or Tula.

What is the pin sticking out of the primer pocket on the cases? I've never seen that.

Berdan primers

I never knocked the primer out of one and looked at it.

Seems legit..

I love it when Lee produces a reloading video.

My God they must have hundreds of thousands of primers in one box.

Yep, Corrosive Berdan primers

The crude level of reloading there and I bet they all go bang for the most part. And we bitch and moan about 1/100th of a grain and this or that etc... But this is war time where they are probably and when at war, you do what you have to.

Necessity is the mother of all inventions.
That powder measure is crazy but that guy probably has done that for many many years. They are not looking to hit a dime 5 shot group, they want to hit man-size targets so its good to go. I’ll take that ammo over no ammo at all.

Lee Loader tactics on steroids.

That doesn't always work on YT. I watched a foreign language machining video the other day and turned on CC to discover the CC was in a foreign language, the same one as the audio I assume.

Reloaded a ton of 45-70 on the ole hand loading hammer method of the lee loader. Was a great past time to sit there and watch a 45 minute show and have about 30 rounds done!

I've been doing it wrong all these years. I need to take my shoes and socks off and sit on rug.
