This guide outlines the essential gear for reloading rifle cartridges, from initial case cleaning and preparation to powder charging, bullet seating, and final storage. It emphasizes the importance of accurate measurement, reliable load data, and appropriate tools like presses, dies, and case gauges for safe and effective ammunition production. The video covers various press types and case prep necessities for rifle ammunition.

This video provides a comprehensive, start-to-finish guide on loading .223 Remington (5.56x45mm NATO) ammunition using the Lee APP press. It details the entire process, including initial setup, decapping, case feeding, swaging primer pockets, resizing, trimming, priming, and bullet seating. The creator emphasizes this is their first experience with the APP, openly addressing and working through various issues encountered during the process. The video concludes with CBTO and concentricity tests, followed by a range test of the loaded ammunition.

This guide details the process of reloading 12 gauge shotgun shells using the Lee Load-All II press, as demonstrated by an experienced reloader. It covers component preparation, filling reservoirs, priming, resizing, powder charging, wad seating, shot loading, and final crimping. The video emphasizes a methodical, ASMR-focused approach to efficient reloading.

This guide details how to properly set up a bullet seating die to achieve the correct Cartridge Overall Length (COL). It emphasizes adjusting the die body for no crimp initially, then using the seat plug to fine-tune the bullet seating depth. Achieving the correct COL is crucial for reliable chambering and magazine fit, preventing issues like a hard-to-close bolt.

This video details the comprehensive manufacturing process of brass rifle casings by Peterson Cartridge. It covers the transformation of raw brass cups through multiple drawing, annealing, washing, heading, trimming, and tapering stages. The process emphasizes precision, quality control through extensive automated and manual inspection, and specialized treatments like neck re-annealing and anti-tarnish coating to ensure match-grade performance.

This guide details essential brass preparation steps beyond basic decapping and sizing for improved reloading accuracy. It covers cleaning, primer pocket uniforming, neck chamfering and deburring, and neck brushing. The video emphasizes that even new brass can benefit from these processes to ensure consistent bullet seating and optimal performance. The presenter, F-class John from Ultimate Reloader, highlights chamfering and deburring as critical steps that should not be skipped, regardless of time constraints.

This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This video details extreme pressure testing of the 6mm ARC cartridge using both a bolt-action rifle and an AR-15 platform. The experiment pushes the limits of Alpha Munitions brass with 8208 XBR powder, achieving velocities exceeding factory specifications and even 6 Creedmoor. The testing culminates in destructive attempts using a fast-burning pistol powder in an AR-15, demonstrating the significant forces involved and the potential for catastrophic failure. The presenter, Gavin Gear, emphasizes that these tests are for research only and should not be replicated due to extreme danger.
