Redding Master Hunter Dies: Reloading & Results (6.5 Creedmoor)

This video provides a comprehensive, end-to-end guide to the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Elite Kit, presented by Gavin Gear from Ultimate Reloader. The kit includes the Rock Chucker Supreme Press, ChargeMaster Link powder dispenser, hand priming tool, and various case preparation and measurement tools. The demonstration covers unboxing, assembly, and a full reloading process for 6.5 Creedmoor, highlighting the convenience and value of the kit for new and experienced reloaders. The presenter emphasizes the importance of accurate data, proper setup, and the utility of the included components for consistent ammunition production.

This guide details the fundamental steps of reloading a cartridge, focusing on using a Lock-N-Load press. It covers sizing new brass with a full-length die, deburring, priming, accurately charging with powder, and seating bullets to a precise overall length without crimping. The instruction emphasizes proper die setup and measurement for consistent, accurate reloaded ammunition suitable for long-range shooting.

This guide details the process of swapping barrels on a Gunwerks Nexus or NX2 rifle system. It covers the necessary steps for removing the action, replacing the barrel, and reassembling the rifle, including crucial torque specifications. The guide also explains how to swap the bolt head if changing between standard and magnum bolt face calibers.

This guide details the process of applying a digital camouflage Cerakote finish to an UltraDyn Picatinny chassis for a Savage 110 rifle. It covers preparation steps like blasting and cleaning, the application of multiple Cerakote layers using stencils, flash curing, and final baking. The video emphasizes planning, careful application to avoid edge build-up, and the importance of proper curing for durability. The final assembly of the upgraded chassis and barreled action is also demonstrated.

This guide details a methodical load development process for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge using Hornady 140gr Match BTHP bullets. It covers powder selection (Alliant RL17 vs. RL26), component choices (primers, brass), reloading techniques, and critical range testing analysis. The expert reloader highlights pressure signs and offers insights into achieving both velocity and accuracy, concluding RL17 provides superior accuracy despite RL26's higher velocity potential.

This video details the process of reloading 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition for a Thompson Center Compass rifle. It covers preparing brass, charging cases with IMR 4451 powder, seating various bullets (Hornady Match, ELDX, Sierra Game Changer), and testing different muzzle devices. The instructor emphasizes accuracy and provides insights into load development for both target and hunting applications, while also addressing potential firearm issues.

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.
