Holden from Dillon Precision demonstrates the reloading process on their press, designed to feed machine guns. The demonstration covers sizing, de-priming, priming, powder charging, bullet seating, and crimping, highlighting the machine's efficiency at 800 cases per hour. The process is shown to be straightforward, with each station performing a specific task to produce a finished round.

This video from Brownells experts Steve and Caleb addresses the myth of whether excessive bullet setback can cause a firearm to malfunction or explode. They explain how repeated chambering can push a bullet deeper into the case, increasing internal pressure significantly, especially in high-pressure cartridges like 9mm. The experts demonstrate that while a catastrophic failure is unlikely in most modern firearms, bullet setback can lead to feeding issues and potentially damage the firearm. They also touch on how firearm design, like the feed ramp geometry of a 1911 versus a Glock, influences the likelihood of setback, and emphasize the importance of proper neck tension and crimping for handloaders.

This video features Hickok45 discussing various firearms, primarily revolvers chambered in .44 Special and .44 Magnum. He delves into the nuances of handloading ammunition, emphasizing safety precautions like checking for bullet jump and proper crimping to prevent cylinder lock-up. The discussion also touches on historical firearms accuracy in Western movies and personal reflections on firearm collecting and shooting.
