30-06 MATCH Reloads Hornady 178 gr AMAX Lake City on Lee Single Stage Press by Eddy Coleman

[@thomaschew2191]

Eddy really enjoy your vids and your easy going style. As a viewer of many you tube vids on handloading some are in my opinion either too much (unnecessary) detail or just simply inaccurate information. But your are entertaining and informative. One comment on this particular video is there is no discussion of checking length and/or trimming prior to charging with powder.

[@jarrodroden7825]

I agree with this post very easy to follow and understand thanks for the great vid eddi

[@noblemen4486]

Great ressource material. Thanks

[@wemcal]

Great video and satisfying to watch

[@timothyhines7845]

Nice info. Tried a couple different automatic powder dispensers. I kept getting varying loads. I know it's way slower, but I now exclusively use my Lee safety scale. Used to have a Lyman equivalent but it didn't survive a move. To me, they're MUCH more reliable.

[@arturoerickson1799]

Beautiful bullets gentlemen.

[@boomerrangerron]

I loved your video and found it most informative! I’ve used IMR 4964 for years with both 165 and 180 gr Nosler Partitions. I have never used a Findl crimping die because with my bolt action 30’06 Winchester Model 70!it just wasn’t required! Maybe for a semi-auto this step nSight make sense.

[@jameswalmann7174]

Thank you !

[@ericreth2951]

I used to reload shotgun ammunition and enjoyed it. Unfortunately the skeet range I use now will not let me use reloaded ammunition. Apparently they cannot verify it's "pure" steel shot; yeah, they don't believe the magnet test. I enjoyed this rifle cartridge reload tutorial. It is different, yet quite familiar. Thank you

[@burnsrandy]

What a bummer, Eddy

[@johnt4060]

Hi Eddy! I'm 18 years old and I'm trying to get started in reloading for 30-06. I'd like to load heavier bullets like 175gr-190gr and would like to know what powders you would recommend for the heavier bullets. I'd like to find a powder that offers lower pressures and good accuracy. I'm getting into reloading so i can fine tune ammo for a specific gun and hopefully achieve the best accuracy i can get out of that particular rifle. Also I'm really enjoying your reloading video. Keep up the good work!

[@johnt4060]

I'd like to create a mock Federal Gold Medal Match 30-06 load with a 180gr Sierra Matchking

[@EskimoChild169]

it's all about trial and error, and finding out what your rifle likes best. For my 30-06, I've had very good success with IMR 4350 and Varget Powders, with bullet weights between 168-180. Look at the Nosler site, they list powders and charges for all of their bullets for 30-06, and what powder was most accurate for what bullet at what charge. Always start low and work charges up. As he said, slow is fast.

[@jmartin9059]

I think I like that automatic powder meter and scale in one... That looks really handy....for single stage loading.

[@offshorefisherman6935]

awesome video, thanks

[@chriscahill9671]

Interesting video

[@GlennPearsonDIY]

What Primer attachment is that? I would like to pick one up for me Lee. Thank you very much for the video, I will probably watch it a few more times. :)

[@burnsrandy]

+Glenn Pearson It is a Lee Primer Feeder. It comes with the Lee Turret Press. I think you can purchase it separate.

Hi there, interesting to see how you reload, but I am amazed that you have all that kit, and you reload to book spec - SAAMI, not your individual rifle's chamber to the ogive.....? Any reason why you don't do this? You can get huge improvements this way to start........ Thanks, I like the format of your videos. AJ.

[@burnsrandy]

I get good results by using saami, not saying it good be better, but loading for public it is difficult to get them to bring there weapon, so back to SAAMI. Eddy

[@kubotamaniac]

Good video! But I agree with AJ Wrighty, SAAMI is a guide, but usually, it is safer to measure our own rifle, to make sure the ogive does not touch the lands... And we get a little more accuracy by getting the bullet as close as possible to the lands...) Thanks for the nice video!!

[@andya539]

Would you mind linking me to the press, dies and that scale you used

[@harrisonmccullough1183]

I have a Shillen barrel and load my 30-06 with 59 grain of R22 175 gr Sierra MK HPBT .005 off lands Shoots 1/2 5 shot groups at 100 yds.

[@Prairie7777]

In speaking of case COL, do you ever measure out to the lands and then reduce from .003" to .005"? Of course making sure the cartridge operates smoothly in the magazine, I find that coming off the lands at .003" and neck sizing only, if affords a very concentric round to the axis of the bore. Have you done any of this type of loading?

[@burnsrandy]

Very well stated, Eddy

[@snipperriffle7219]

I plan on testing some loads with 270 Win and 30-06. 130 Hornady SST for the 270 and 165gr SST for the 06. IMR 4064 and using mixed brass(after precisely trimming/resizing them of course). Let me know what kind of results you get from those A-MAX 178s, I'd love to see how they performed!

[@burnsrandy]

Will be coming out soon, Eddy

[@3dmaxers]

Eddie, i choosing 1st bolt action rifle, and i lean to 30-06, but many ppl suggest me 308. I plan to hunt some whitetails and hogs mostly in forest and sometimes on plains. Will buy Mauser M3, but still havent decide caliber. The only thing is bother me is accuracy. Why people say that 308 is 2 times accurate that 30-06 ? If i make load with same bullet but put more powder why accuracy affected ?

[@offshorefisherman6935]

Andrey Tishenko get the 30 06, its awesome, its as accurate as the 308, and the 30 06 shoots harder and faster

[@andya539]

That all depends on the shooter man ... both rounds can be extremely accurate in the right hands but I have also heard that .308 is more accurate especially at slightly longer distance it may have to do with 30-06 kicking harder so the shooter is more susceptible to flinching ... I for one shoot 30-06 but I didn't have a choice I was made an offer i couldn't refuse on a sako a7

[@haritchie3460]

Old 150 grain remington core lock cross the line of sight like 27 yards then again at 250 yards Just wondering where this cross the line of sight .seeing its little heavy..where I live just white tail Black bear wild hog. Brush, trees Never seen mule deer or black tail. Elk. Or brown bear. Sure sounds like good round.

[@ethanisaacson7860]

good job

[@floydskyfire]

why is it important to be within that length of cartridge? for feeding? does it matter in a single shot?

[@bigjoe-pm2ql]

Feeding issues, pressure, function number of issues

[@62sugarbear]

Is that load good for Garands ?

[@Torenhg]

nice job, thx

[@0615conroy]

Winchester primers tend to be off by .001th and have eroded bolt faces

[@JMazterV112]

What is that lee primer thingy called !??!

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

Is that a lee collet die? I've been wanting one.

[@burnsrandy]

yes, I like lee as well as the others, its just cheaper to use lee.

[@bigjoe-pm2ql]

Just found ya had to sub

[@eternalresolute8960]

What's it like living in a fish bowl Eddy?

[@silverback7659]

Do you keep data logs of each set of reloads?

[@burnsrandy]

yes,

[@trumpie5399]

What load did you end up with IMR 4064 and 178gr ?

[@ВладимирРязань-ъ8г]

Good equipment. Unfortunately in Russia is prohibited relloding threaded cartridges.

[@danietkissenle]

Threaded?

[@tommarek5507]

Where did you get the bullets?

[@diywithjonandpebbles]

Tom Marek they don’t make it anymore. It was replace with the ELD-x

[@Z33Garage]

How many grains of 4064?

[@timnavarrette3274]

He showed 47.0 grains. Gonna look that up with 180 grain bullets . Can use the same powder grainage on heavy bullets. Just a comparison.

[@jmartin9059]

Mr.Coleman, Outstanding.... A 'fast load' that misses "still missed".... Eddy you Slowed down to "do it right" .... I fully expect your results to be: One shot = One HOG down. >>>>>>>>> NOT a rapid reload rapid fire 'video game style' "pow-pow-pow-pow-pow... I THINK I may have wounded him... Can you Help me find a blood trail.

[@jasonlopez4855]

Why do you need premium match bullets to hot hogs. I use TULA ammo with no problem's for the last 15 years I've used cheeper ammo or Aguila eagle 🦅 ammo Is better than Winchester white box. Winchester has not been good for me. I'v started to repack rounds in 308win my first year. I need more Dies to try other ammo to do repack rounds.

[@Nanker63]

You’re crimping a bullet that doesn’t have a cannelure! Your COL should place the bullet close to the lands. That ammo is far from being “match grade”.

[@josecanisales3491]

It's NOT a match load when you crimp!

[@roddawe2505]

Just wondering why that is? I crimp. I'm also new to reloading, trying to learn everything I can.

[@josecanisales3491]

@@roddawe2505 I don't crimp. Most precision shooters don't crimp either. Other than that I don't know.

[@edtrumble7336]

Nice video, but match grade? You resized, de-primed and re-primed in one step with LC brass! No one would shoot that in a match. I would Clean the brass, re-size & de-prime, then uniform the flash hole then trim the case then clean the cases one more time, the prime and reload. Then you can call the rounds match grade .

[@timothyhines7845]

That would depend on whether or not the weapon was a bolt or semi auto fed weapon and in most cases, one's competency with the given weapon. There are rifles off the shelf that can win matches with surplus ammo and off the shelf weapons that couldn't hit a barn wall from the inside all doors closed. But yes the video was most likely abbreviated and steps left out for mention in another vid. As I said I use a balance beam as the electronic wizzos have failed me, the man still put out a good vid that would produce a round that was reliable and SAFE to use. COOL you do every step. Good job. Doesn't mean he's wrong( or that you are). He merely demonstrated the method he has found to be successful. Happy Shooting hope to see you on the range.

Holy misinformation !
