Neck turning and neck sizing ~ Seeking a higher level of accuracy!

This video details the process of neck sizing brass using a Lee Collet Die for improved ammunition accuracy. The instructor emphasizes the importance of proper brass preparation as the 'launch platform' for consistent internal ballistics. He contrasts standard full-length sizing with neck sizing, highlighting the benefits of the Lee Collet Die's unique mandrel and collet system for uniform neck sizing without lubricant, which he claims leads to superior accuracy and longer brass life.

This guide explains the function and setup of L.E. Wilson bushing dies for reloading. It details how bushing dies offer adjustable neck sizing by using interchangeable bushings, which is crucial for managing varying brass neck thicknesses across different manufacturers and calibers. The process involves measuring the cartridge neck, selecting a bushing (typically 0.001" to 0.003" smaller than the loaded cartridge neck diameter), inserting it into the die, and setting the stem to allow for slight float. This method helps improve case concentricity and consistency, especially for precision shooting applications.

This guide details the process of reloading 135gr Berger Classic Hunter bullets for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge using a T/C Compass rifle. It covers case preparation, powder selection (Reloder 17 and IMR 4350), OAL measurement, bullet seating, and range testing with detailed performance data. The instruction comes from an expert with high authority in reloading and firearms.

This video demonstrates the functionality of the Lee Precision Collet Die for neck sizing and the Micrometer Bullet Seater. The collet die is highlighted for its ability to resize only the neck of a cartridge case, extending brass life, especially when shooting in the same firearm. The micrometer seater offers precise control over bullet seating depth, ensuring consistency for handloaded ammunition.

Roy Huntington demonstrates how to prepare military brass for reloading using the Lee Precision Ram Swage Tool. This process involves removing the primer crimp found on military brass, which prevents new primers from being seated. The video highlights the ease of use with Lee's Breech Lock system and the importance of verifying primer pocket dimensions with a gauge.

This video demonstrates how to remove the primer pocket crimp from military brass using an RCBS primer pocket swaging tool. The process involves decapping the brass, assembling the swaging tool, and using a reloading press to swage the pocket, ensuring easier and more reliable primer seating for future reloads. Proper setup and technique are highlighted to achieve a smooth, tapered primer pocket.

This guide, drawing on decades of experience, details how to achieve rifle accuracy. It covers defining accuracy standards, understanding MOA, troubleshooting mechanical issues like loose sights and barrel contact, and optimizing bedding and muzzle conditions. The instruction emphasizes practical application for hunters and marksmen, highlighting that modern accuracy benchmarks have evolved significantly.

This guide provides expert-level instructions for disassembling, cleaning, and maintaining the Ruger 10-22 Walnut Sporter, drawing on detailed insights from GunBlue490. It emphasizes critical steps like safely removing the action from the stock to protect the walnut finish and proper cleaning techniques to ensure long-term reliability. The instruction highlights the importance of using appropriate tools and avoiding common mistakes like over-oiling the wood stock.

This video provides a detailed guide on disassembling and cleaning a Smith & Wesson Model 25 revolver, presented by a factory-trained armorer. It emphasizes proper nomenclature, tool usage, and careful handling of internal parts to avoid damage. The guide covers removing stocks, yoke, side plate, hammer, rebound slide, and trigger, with specific instructions on reassembly and common pitfalls to avoid, such as altering trigger pull components or damaging delicate parts.

This guide, presented by an expert with over 30 years of experience and U.S. Army background, details proper firearm lubrication. It emphasizes using synthetic/CLP oils sparingly, applying only a microscopic film to prevent attracting debris. The expert recommends a silicone-treated rag for regular wipe-downs and advises against over-oiling, especially in extreme environmental conditions.
