Premium Reloading Tools - Extravagant tools that improve and speed up your reloading process

The Charge Master is worth every penny !

[@scottrob1968]

I've reloaded for 30+ years and just in the last 5 years have been using a chronograph. Its honestly the one item that I would start with.

[@fireantfury2539]

I'm finally building up my reloading kit. I grew up reloading using my dad's stuff and he's had the chargemaster seemingly forever and it makes things so much quicker and easier on medium sized batch builds

[@ronin6737]

I have all except the Scale and feel they were all money well spent and made reloading more enjoyable -all worth the money!

[@tomaskey6844]

My packages are arriving while I am on the road working. Can’t wait to get home! Went with RCBS Summit and Chargemaster along with the RCBS Universal brass station. These videos really helped me choose pieces instead of getting some kit I would have hated. Better to cry now. Retirement is going to be a blast!

Few tips, I've got my lab scale from a lab closing down, measure to the kernel for $150. World Finest Trimmer on a drill press same results/time a lot cheaper. Finally, Labradar all the way, I literally used all options in the market, and nothing compares to it, for example Magnetospeed on a tapered barrel or 338LM with a big brake is always a challenge, and there is the changing of point of impact.

[@raining1975]

cccssscccsss2 , worlds finest trimmer does not deburr and chamfer. Is your scale MFR or strain gauge? What is the linearity of your scale?

[@cs_yt]

@@raining1975 That's correct, but it cuts so clean that I only deburr/chamfer for high precision loads, for plink 223 I just trim.The "balance" is a discontinued Ohaus, linearity is +-0.0002g.

[@Prometheuss.cannabis.corner]

Check out the Tri way it trims chafers and deburs for a fraction made by the same company. Chuck it in a harbor frate drill press and its awsome.

[@mr.horseshoe2301]

Is Labradar really that much better than a $100 chronograph? Those things are almost $700 now.

[@cs_yt]

@@mr.horseshoe2301 You can make precise reloads with any of the other chronographs, I did, but at the same time, I don't have to worry losing a reading which can be a hassle and cost money. So, it is all a balance act.

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

I love my Giraud tool. It was my first big upgrade for reloading, and I bought dies for using it on several calibers. It saves huge amounts of time.

[@frankw7266]

Yeah, you can really get into a rabbit hole, but damn they're nice to have.... 1 - Sassy Brass annealer w/Dillon casefeed adapter 2 - RCBS Chargemaster 3 - O'Haus precision balance 4 - RT1500 trimmer for the 650 5 - LabRadar

[@juddpav9492]

You have me wanting some new reloading equipment! Thanks for the videos!

[@pareloader5989]

I think the Lyman case prep xpress deserves a honorable mention.

[@drewt.4353]

Heck, i bought my Chrono for airsoft and archery. Very important to have for guns.

[@luvtahandload7948]

Good video. I love my AMP. I've had it for about 4 years. Like you, I anneal after every load/fire cycle. It's so easy and fast , why wouldn't I? Only takes me about 4 seconds per case. It takes me longer to find the correct pilot because I have about 20 of them. I will never buy a magnetospeed. When I go to my gunrange, I might bring up to half a dozen guns. No way I'm switching it back and forth that much. And I test for accuracy at the same time so I don't want something hanging off my muzzle. I have a Labradar, Oehler 35P and a Caldwell. Use all three, depending on the application.

[@zinfendal0]

I made qd holders for each gun. That way I can mount my magnetospeed sporter just as fast. Easy to to make from 1" square tubing. Sporter fits snug in a trimmed u channel.

[@davecollins2097]

I splurged on the Chargemaster about 7 yrs ago, haven't regretted that move. I splurged on an Annealeeze this year, couldn't justify the induction style ones at their price level, have to use a heck of a pile of brass for that. Picked up a Hornady case prep/trimmer center last year. Second choice would be a Henderson precision unit, but they add up as well with the add-on cutter heads. Over the last 4-5 yrs I've acquired the stuff from 21st Century for neck turning, including the lathe setup. Din't really NEED any of it, but, it sure goes a lot faster with the Hornady center than it did before, and the Chargemaster is for when I don't want to use the beam scale, and there is a limit on what I'll use it for, after that I use ball powder and a thrower where possible. I like the fact the Magnetospeed is not light reliant, I've had a few times at the range even with my Oehler, that it acted up, which is frustrating when you wanted to do a quick check on a powder and what it is doing, not nearly as bad as a Chrony though. And the Magnetospeed is convenient if you are at a busy range. BUt, to me a chrono is indispensible for working up powder/bullet combos and checking speed vs pressure limits.The AutotricklerV3 would be nice, but, not absolutely convinced it is worth the investment., maybe, if the Chargemaster dies. I think now that RCBS came out with the Matchmaster, we'll perhaps see the price on some of the upper end scales come down a hair, may take a bit of time yet though. I think the market is there for them now.

[@BoltActionReloading]

The match master at $900 seems oddly priced IMO. I haven't seen one in person but between the autotrickler for almost the same price and likely far quicker, I don't see RCBS justifying the cost, but who knows.

[@davecollins2097]

@@BoltActionReloading Ya, wondering if the QC is there on the RCBS, it will take a while to be recognized, or not. The 120 scale has a track record, Autotrickler is speedy, and for pretty much the same loot, seems to be the way to go. Maybe we're just too skeptical...or just too poor.

[@juliusjames5577]

Chronograph is a necessity.

[@paulvenn4447]

Neck turning and concentricity gauge guide next? :P

[@BoltActionReloading]

I have neck turning videos, but I may do something about evaluating reloads sometime.

[@ramsaycountry1177]

Where can I get the fx120i for $500? Another great video man. I know your from Ohio. Have you ever shot any of the shoots at rayners? I shot just about every long range rifle shoot they have, at least one of the days they are held each month. 👍👍

[@BoltActionReloading]

Check out Adam's listings for distributors. Just google autotrickler. You might have to enter a coupon code but it will be under $500.

[@hostile808]

Asking for your advise. Stuck at trying to decide on what to get first or what’s more important than the other. Trying to figure out what’s more better to get first between the two which is a magnetospeed or anealeaz. But eventually I’ll have both.

[@BoltActionReloading]

Hi Nelly, I would pick the magnetospeed hands down. Just me though. Good Luck!

[@cshootercshooter]

AMP is definitely great, but at a fraction salt bath annealing can accomplish the task. Check my channel for info, including two long term studies. For example, I was able to get 16 reloads from a 224 Valkyrie case.

[@BoltActionReloading]

I dont hate on the salt bath at all, in fact it may be better for case lots that have a variation in neck thickness. If I had to wait for it to warm up everytime though I would never do it. Just my situation though.

[@cshootercshooter]

@@BoltActionReloading I understand, if I have an AMP I wouldn't give a 2nd thought on SBA, but not everyone can afford one. If you like contact me and I'll send you one of my kits for free, as a thank you for all the knowledge you share. if you are curious, search cshootersolutions at etsy.com.

[@njgrplr2007]

"Yeah, honey I'm gonna buy some 'extravagant' reloading tools." What?!

[@BoltActionReloading]

I didn't want people to think they can't possibly reload without them. They sure make things faster though.

[@njgrplr2007]

@@BoltActionReloading I gotcha. I'm gonna tell my wife they're "advanced tools," which will enable me to spend more time with her.

[@carlcochrane2030]

Heh, my wife helps me reload. She loves priming with a rcbs bench primer. Bought a charge master lite as my first powder throw after using a friends manual one when I was getting started. Best purchase ever.

[@jassonco]

A chronograph (of any type or price point) is MUST have tool, unless you've a pressure trace type system also, to know exactly, what pressure your loads are at?! DON'T BLOW YOUR FACE OFF

[@duckslayer11000]

You don't need a chronograph to find pressure signs lol

[@jassonco]

@@duckslayer11000 When you've found pressure signs, you're already, most likely, over pressure. That doesn't mean dangerous pressures, for that particular firearm, but you're there.
