Ultimate Reloading

[JetTheTerror]

Hey Guys,



Here is pretty sweet video on how I reload my 6 Dasher. Using a mix of progressive press and single stage not to mention a ton of other top notch equipment. Let me know what you guys think and where and what I can improve on. Thanks

Theatrically its cool. Very well edited (not sarcasm at all). Full of fluff, I instantly thought of action movies where they use flashy camera techniques to make you think theres more going on than there is (I'm not saying you aren't doing anything, just very flashy). Not sure what the point is other than you reload with expensive stuff.

You spend a lot of time doing single stage processes that you can speed up and attain the same quality ammo by using that progressive to its true potential. You can use multiple toolheads if you want. If you buy the dillon case trimmer and trimmer tool head you can size/ deprime on the first station and trim cases on the same toolhead. Take your sized/ trimmed cases and chamfer/deburr. You can anneal after this with an annealer that doesnt require doing one at a time. On the second toolhead run a decapping die on station 1 to clear the flash hole and run cases through like normal. Station 2 - powder, station 3 - powder check, station 4 - seating, station 5 - crimping.

Single stage does not mean more consistent. It means one process at a time. Try it both single stage and progressive. Measure and weigh everything and post the results in a video.

I'm not trying to be a d***, its a cool video. I shoot more than I reload so I think differently than the "ultimate precision" crowd.

QTY>QUALITY in a pandemic.

Yeah so I pretty much follow the same process you do. Instead of a V3 though I mounted a Lyman power thrower to my fx-120i instead, and got a Dandy electric powder trickler and it was only like $160 all together. Compared to $490 for the V3.

Also, do continue to anneal before sizing so you get consistent spring back on your brass.

On new brass do you uniform the inside of the flash hole w/a tool? Do you weigh your bullets and batch them and do you check bullet run out on loaded rounds?

I enjoyed your video, thanks for posting it here.

Had to try and make it entertaing instead of just some wierd dude at a bench.


So trying to load match ammo vs bulk ammo there are differences that make all the difference between a one hole gun with an extreme spread of 3 and an SD of. 5 vs not that.

Don't get me wrong I am all about speeding up the process and am constantly thinking of new ways to speed things up. What I gain from a single stage against my progressive is less variances and less run out. I've tested them side by side loading my match 223 ammo and the numbers don't lie.

That sounds like an awesome setup! I hope it's fast and precise for you. Brand name is irrelevant as long as it does what it is suppose to do and does it well..
