In this video I assemble 308 Winchester “dummy” cartridges on the Lee Classic Turret press and on a 1968 RCBS rock chucker single stage press. I dialed in shoulder bump to really test the presses. The completed cartridges where measured and compared. I found the results to be VERY SURPRISING. Hope you enjoy the video. […]

In this video I cover using a Lee 380 Auto crimp die to perform push through sizing for cases based on the 223 5.56 cartridge. This process will help restore loose primer pockets depending on how bad they are. TreeTopFlierI am retired USAF.  I reloaded some as a kid, mostly shotgun, then stepped away for […]

In this video we take a look at Hornady’s Lock-N-Load neck turning tool. I used it on some homemade or converted 300 Blackout brass to illustrate how much it can improve the consistency of the converted brass. The tool is great to improve any conversion/wildcat brass. I thought the converted brass would really stand out […]

In this video I take a look at Lee’s Breech Lock Reloader, single stage, C shaped press. I make some fake rounds and measure them for quality. I was pleasantly surprised with the results. Hope you find it interesting. TreeTopFlierI am retired USAF.  I reloaded some as a kid, mostly shotgun, then stepped away for […]

In this video I share my DIY range – travel reloading kit. This is just my take but I thought my viewers may find it interesting and maybe find some takeaways. I use the Lee hand press but other presses may be used. TreeTopFlierI am retired USAF.  I reloaded some as a kid, mostly shotgun, […]

After using the Lyman Brass Smith powder measure for a year, it’s time to share my observations, thoughts and tips. It’s a little long but hopefully informative. Thanks for watching!

I found that the Lyman VLD 22 deg inside chamfer tool does a great job on .223/5.56 brass primer pocket crimps.

(Part 4) In this series I show reloading with basic tools and provide information to help a beginner get started. The idea is to show that you can reload without expensive tools or a dedicated space. Here are a list of items you will see in the series.

Subscriber update, and how The Reloaders Network provides viable options for the future of reloading content.

In this video I will share my ideas on cleaning, lubrication, spare parts and adjustments for the Lee Classic turret press. We'll remove the ram, and I'll show you a fix for the primer lever catching on shell holder problem.

I've updated the PVC DIY tumbler video to incorporate the lessons learned and clarify a few things.

Lee is now offering a conversion kit that lets you convert a reloading press equipped with a removable bushing to a breech lock capable press. They have 2 kits, one for 1 1/4″-12 #90512, and one for 1 1/2″-12 #90094. I show it in my reconditioned 1968 RCBS Rock Chucker A2 press. TreeTopFlierI am retired […]

Lets take a quick look at Lee’s new bushing format for resizing cast bullets.

Value turret press link Classic turret press link   Thanks to Kenny @eagleeyeshooting I had a chance to do a side by side comparison of the NEW Lee Value Turret press and the older Classic Turret press. Hopefully the video gives the viewer a good look at the difference between these two.   I started out […]

I wanted to let all the Lee press users know that Lee has recently updated (fixed) their Safety Prime dispensers.  By my count this is the third update to the Safety Prime levers.   The second version was a complete failure and possibly unsafe which is probably why Lee kinda just snuck these new ones into […]

This is a refinement of a video “Make 300 Blackout brass easy with Lee Power Quick Trim” .   The original video is several years old and has had 60K views, so I though it was worth making an updated one to compile the lessons learned and drive home some of the more important points.  I […]

It’s like Mr Bacon can read my thoughts.  In the following video I recommend a few additional steps for us to support each other in this fight.   I think we may have a window here to make ourselves hard to ignore. YouTube seems to be in flux; they seem to be going in opposite directions […]

In this video, I share my development of a simple press mounting system that can be easily and completely removed from the bench and swapped with other items. This could make your reloading work space more versatile.

In this video I do a "from scratch" load workup using a modern powder (CFE Pistol) in a Soviet TT-33 inspired Tokarev Pistol.  This particular pistol is a variant, the M57 Yugoslavian Or Yugo made in the Zastava factory in Serbia.

In this video I share my lessons learned wet tumbling brass.   I hope you find it helpful and interesting.  I cover cleaning your tumbler and SS pins so they continue to give great results every time.  I also cover the effects of alkaline and acid on brass to help explain the pinkish hue that sometimes […]

This is a basic reloading series for someone just getting started, or thinking about getting started. I use the Lee Hand press in the demonstration because it doesn’t require you to dedicate a space or bolt anything down while still giving you a press type tool to work with. I’m thinking RV or small apartment […]
