@bassjunki - it levels off after the intro. Purchased new gear for future vids. Sorry!

@661_RACING - appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

@BradleY97 - yeah it used to drive me nuts until I figured it out. They will blow out nicely. I think the most irritating thing was that the dimples would catch as they fed into the chamber. Glad this video helped! Happy reloading! 👍🏻

@theociba3762 - I use my media until it turns blackish or it takes a long time to just knock off the particulates. I fall victim to the shiny brass syndrome even though shiny brass doesn’t make the projectiles go faster. 😂 you can “recharge” your media with Nu Finish car polish or any of the media recharges you find at your local store or online. I also use, used dryer sheets to help remove some of the grime out of the media as well. My father-in-law uses the same media basically all year long. Some folks use lizard bedding, rice, etc. the main take away is that you want your brass free from debris and not have any chemicals on it that can corrode it. If you need shiny brass, you’ll need to replace and/or recharge your media frequently. Dry sheets are optional but in my opinion help with reduction of particulates. I’ve had others email me saying that the comment section is a great place to share info so I encourage people to ask questions and reply and reply back to others with their experience. I certainly do not know everything and have learned many new ways of doing things by interacting with all the viewers. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

@SandraFreeze - that’s awesome! I’m guessing you meant 12g reloading? I haven’t started that series yet. I’m backlogged with everything I need to cover with regular reloading at this time. 😂👍🏻 I’ll get to it in the future though.

@ThGrtCanadian - thanks for the positive feedback. I try to keep things quick and to the point for the very reasons you stated. I, like some other reloaders, are a bit impatient and just want to get to the point and quit the jaw jacking and lay off the heavy metal music. 😂 I’m trying to streamline my videos to “bare bones” in order to help meet the request of my viewers. Thanks for the feedback! I’m trying to make this as easy and straight forward as I can. 👍🏻

@VincitOmniaVeritas7 - appreciate the comment! Thanks for sharing the video! Yessir, InLine Fabrication! They make high quality stuff. Check out this video! 👍🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJaQk6WHdtyHr80si=L5jh835FAoYIYHC7

@vinago100 - glad it worked out for you! 👍🏻

@johnmontana8540 - I go through a lot of .223/5.56 so I have what I call an assembly line. I use big containers and label them, clean, cleaned and resized, cleaned resized ready to reload, etc. it’s a great system if I have an hour or so I can grab the “ready to be primed” container and hand prime them while watching tv or what have you. I usually have a couple of five gallon buckets full that always need cleaning so I just dump them in when I know I’ll be around a few hours and keep an eye on them. I’ve always have something going on in the background keeping me busy. Personal organization is not something I typically try to teach others since everyone has their own method of madness. I have a system that works for me that I’m continually improving to save time, energy, and money (if possible). I really should make a video of how I do it. I just figure people figure out their own way with the space they have. Great question! 👍🏻

@ thank you for the detailed response! I’m just now starting to look into it so I want to have a strategy before I start buying things and throwing them on the bench lol. Have a good one thanks again!

@goldenkangaroo4969 - sounds like you’re the expert in this department. Please elaborate more on your claim. Being that all of my reloads have the same OAL using this method. Perhaps you can explain to the viewers why my OAL is exactly the same and you suggest that it will be all over the place? I’m sure the viewers would LOVE to know what you’re doing differently. I’m guessing what you’re referring to is the CBOT and not the OAL? I don’t want to assume anything but your post is a bit confusing. Thanks for your expert opinion! 👍🏻

@bored6839 - if there are no reloading specifications to crimp your .223/5.56, I do. Just a like crimp. This will reduce ramp feed issues and projectile movement. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

@Gundog55 - thanks for sharing this! Appreciate your comment! 👍🏻

@mackerelvelli - glad this was helpful! Appreciate your comment! 👍🏻

Glad you found this video helpful! 👍🏻 thanks for the comment!

@josephiacovelli5395 - I’m looking at the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading 11th Edition pg 515. Check it out as I cannot provide reloading data. 👍🏻 Hope this helps!

@scottjohson3226 - glad you found it helpful! Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

@Wccops61 - you should lube your bottle neck cases. I prefer to lube the lower third of the case. I do not lube the shoulders because of dimpling of the shoulders. Rather, I use spray lube for the case mouth to help with the squeaking and not marring up the die. Use as little as possible! You will have a higher chance of stuck cases if you don’t lube the lower third of the case. Does this help and make sense? I want to make sure you’re good to go. Let me know if you run into any issues. Been there done that with bottle neck cases. 👍🏻

@@k2defense Yes agree, my concern was lubing with a pad I was told i needed to lube all the cases and then let them dry before depriming /sizing them

@Wccops61 - if you wait to deprime them until after the lube dries, you’ll for sure have stuck cases. Does this help answer your concern?

@ yessir that answers that. Appreciate the response !

@Wccops61 - 👍🏻

@clifchilders5820 - yessir, you are correct! Keeping me honest with the viewers! I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

@garageliving3658 - that’s awesome! I’ll have to try it out! Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

@saleen12 - for me it is therapeutic. I love trying to figure something out and trying to perfect it. There’s always something to learn. When I hear someone say, “I’ve been reloading 50 years” I think to myself, yup, you’re still learning. It’s a deep rabbit hole for sure! Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

@blackout7615 - that’s a good point. I shoot a fair amount of cast projectiles myself. It certainly is an art to be able to seat and crimp at the same time. Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻

@jonkayak5307 - so, there are many variable to consider when answering this question. If you want the short answer 2-3 reloads. The brass is super thin mainly causing case head separation. I use a compressed load when reloading my cases. I’d post my recipe but my channel would be taken down and shut off. I plan on two reloads per case. I don’t like having to go through the process of removing the stuck case in the chamber. I’ve mutilated one rifle doing this so I avoid having this happen again. Sorry for the long answer to a short question. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

@David-if4vj - I’m glad you found this video helpful! Make sure to take a look at the rest of the videos on this channel! 👍🏻

@k2defense already did 😎 now I just have to pick up some reloading equipment

Awesome! 👍🏻

@rusty1898 - I don’t go crazy when reloading this caliber. I’m midrange loads when I use cast projectiles. I’m using the same cases that I’ve had for years. Straight wall cases do not “stretch” as much as bottle neck cases. So you’ll get many more reloads. Most any brass you can find in the stores preloaded will last a long time. They are not well sought after like 9mm. The 9mm is more common so the will use other than brass for their cheap ammo. Some of it you can’t even reload. In short, your brass cases should last many times and secondly the preloaded ammo from the store should last you a long time. Like I said earlier, I’ve been reusing my brass for a long time. But I do not commonly use this round when going to the range. You’ll be happy with the reloads as well. One of the easier rounds to reload. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions! 👍🏻

@k2defense thank you brother.. I sure appreciate that info. Be well friend

@rusty1898 - yessir! You too! Happy to help! 👍🏻

@randomnation9080 - Well worth all the effort IMHO! 👍

@wencal - appreciate the compliment! Thank you! 👍🏻

@SkeleKnight410 - I'd agree, that is blasphemy. 🤣👍 This humdinger is buttery smooth.

@Therealmoletard - for plinking, I do not sort. Some will say that you have to. I just keep my loads midrange. I never make a hot load with mixed brass. For precision shooting, yes, I sort, weigh, etc. just make sure to not run 5.56 in a .223. I can go into depth about all of it but I like to keep it simple. Make sense? Did I answer your question?

@@k2defense thanks for the responce,i have 2 5.56 ar's that i want to start loading for ( plinking rounds) and have been really scared to start. i figured if i kept it mid range it would be ok but i got told it can blow the gun up. also would it be safe to shoot the reloads out of both my rifles if its midrange loads? another big thing i always see is only reload for 1 gun. if you have 2 5.56 ar's you need diffrent loads for them or it can blow the gun. it always confused me because factory ammo can be used in any 5.56 gun. sorry for the odd questions i just want to be sure im going about this as safe as i can. thanks for your time and the good info. love the videos man

@Therealmortard - great questions! No worries! The reason I started this channel is to help others. Use your reloading manual. It should have about five different load options. Start with the lowest and work up to the max. Reloading manuals keep the reloading data low to keep it safe. Hornady is a classic example. They have their charge loads low. If you can afford it, buy a chronograph. I have one and it a great investment. I start off with sorting your brass. Miss brass is not the best for working up loads. Use the lowest charge, reload five. Somehow mark them so you know what you reloaded them with. Do that for each load they have for that specific projectile. Now go out and shoot them. Once you identify the ones with the least standard deviation, bingo! It takes time to figure things out so don’t get frustrated. It took me a while to get the right recipe for my 5.56. I keep a journal for each round I work up. Then I refer back to it when I reload. Hope this response lowers your anxiety with reloading. Make sure to watch my other videos to help increase your knowledge base. If you need more help, just drop another comment. Here to help! 👍🏻

@@k2defense best info i have got yet.thank you so much. love the videos man and keep up the work. its helped me so much in starting this
