Videos tagged with Reloading Inspection

This video provides essential guidance on determining the lifespan of magnum brass cases during reloading. Instructor Kent Sakamoto explains that magnum cartridges like the 7 PRC, due to higher pressures, typically yield 3-4 reloads, whereas lower-pressure cartridges such as the 6.5 Creedmoor or 6 GT can last for six or more reloads. Key inspection points include looking for case neck splits, pierced primers, black residue around the primer pocket, and loose primer pockets, all indicating excessive pressure or wear that necessitates retiring the brass.
