Videos tagged with Reloading Accuracy

This video discusses the feasibility of making your own ammunition, focusing on the components. While reusing brass is possible, the speaker highlights the extreme difficulty and impracticality of manufacturing primers and gunpowder from scratch. Reloading is presented as a viable option for accuracy and slight cost savings, but not recommended for survival situations.

This video compares the Super Trickler and Auto Trickler for powder dispensing in reloading. The presenter highlights the Super Trickler's ease of setup, speed, and precision, noting it dispenses powder to the hundredth of a grain. While the Auto Trickler is cheaper, the Super Trickler offers expandability and future feature potential through firmware updates, making it a preferred choice for high-volume reloading.

This video demonstrates the installation and initial use of the Lee Rifle Micrometer Adjust Screw for Lee bullet seating dies. The presenter highlights its ease of use, affordability, and improved precision for handloaders. The video also includes extensive range testing of various .223 Remington loads, comparing different brass types and bullet weights, with detailed performance data.

This episode of the Guns Magazine Podcast features Tom McHale, editor of American Handgunner Magazine, discussing three key tips for improving rifle reloading accuracy. The primary advice focuses on using high-quality, uniform projectiles, meticulously sorting brass cases by weight and headstamp to ensure consistent internal volume, and checking for bullet runout (concentricity) with a specialized gauge. McHale emphasizes that consistency is paramount for accuracy and advises reloading enthusiasts to systematically change only one variable at a time during load development to isolate its impact.

This video reviews the Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Digital Reloading Scale. The description highlights its extreme accuracy for measuring powder, bullets, cases, and loaded rounds. Key features include a 750-grain (50-gram) capacity with 0.1-grain (0.01-gram) accuracy, an LCD display with blue backlight, an integrated protective cover, auto-calibration, and multiple measurement units (grain, grams, ounces, carats). The package includes a powder pan and calibration weight. It is positioned as a precise tool for handloaders.

This video details the process of neck turning brass cases to achieve superior ammunition accuracy. The instructor explains the hierarchy of accuracy factors, emphasizing powder and charge weight as paramount, followed by bullet quality. He then focuses on case neck concentricity, explaining how runout affects bullet alignment and accuracy. The guide demonstrates converting a case trimmer into a neck turner using specialized pilots and cutters, highlighting the importance of lubrication and precise adjustments to remove high spots and ensure a perfectly concentric neck for optimal bullet seating and flight.

This video compares the Lee Safety Scale to RCBS beam scales, highlighting significant usability and accuracy differences. The instructor, Joel Persinger, a self-proclaimed 'gun guy' with extensive reloading experience, finds the Lee Safety Scale to be a 'gigantic nuisance' due to its sensitivity to air currents, difficulty in precise zeroing, and slow adjustment process. In contrast, RCBS scales are praised for their ease of setup, stable zeroing, and quick adjustments, making them far more efficient for reloading.

This review of the Lee Perfect Powder Measure highlights significant drawbacks, including poor construction, powder leakage, and extreme inaccuracy, making it a potentially unsafe and wasteful choice for reloaders. The reviewer, a fan of other Lee products, advises against this specific measure due to its performance issues, recommending higher-end alternatives like the RCBS Uniflow for reliable and safe reloading.

This YouTube video from the VSO Gun Channel explains the phenomenon of bullet setback, detailing what it is and how detrimental it can be. As an educational resource focused on responsible gun ownership and safety, VSO Media LLC and VSOrdnance LLC provide objective content based on their testing and evaluation services. The channel emphasizes its independence from manufacturers and its commitment to sharing both positive and negative aspects of products. While the description mentions a recent data loss affecting some video details, it directs viewers to VSO's affiliate page for any missing links or codes.

This guide details the process of developing safe and effective powder charges for handloaded ammunition, emphasizing the importance of powder burning rate charts and incremental load testing. It stresses meticulous safety protocols, including proper powder handling, workspace cleanliness, and verification of components, to prevent dangerous mishaps. The expert instructor highlights that while precise weighing is crucial during load development, volumetric measurement can be sufficient for consistent accuracy once a load is established.
