Hey man, thank you so much for ALL of these vids. I just bought the Ammo Kit and haven’t even opened the box. I’m sitting here taking notes. I’m 60 years old, and have been an Airline pilot my whole life. I’m now retired now and starting my second life of working harder It seems!😂 i pay very close attention to detail and appreciate your time. You would make a great Airline instructor. I ran the program for a couple of our Aircraft and I would have trained and hired you to teach! Great job 👍 God bless you.

Hi, Jim. I started reloading back in pre-KZbin times (mid nineties). What a difference today. Your videos give the up close and personal touch. Truth is, knowing your equipment inside and out gives the ability to troubleshoot and problem solve, which is IMHO what makes this hobby so much fun.

Hey I know these series of videos are really old, but I've stumbled upon them watching LNL AP videos. I've loaded on mine already and did fine, and I've loaded on a Dillon 550 and a 650 in the past and did fine. But I just wanted to say that watching your videos here, you give so many nuggets of expert information that goes ever so slightly more in-depth than any other reloading videos I've seen for progressive presses. I've watched a ton of videos on vehicle wrapping, photoshop, music keyboards, woodcarving, all different subjects. You have a natural ability to stack in details and explain why you do things the way you do it that goes beyond the norm. It makes me want to be more patient and informative when teaching my own son how to do something.

It seems like the rubbing alcohol works for you but i will add that alcohol is a polar solvent, like acetone or water, and does not mix with oil without some sort of emulsifier like dish soap or eggwhites. Brake cleaner, mineral spirits, gasoline, turpentine etc. are examples of non-polar solvents and would probably be better choices for breaking down the packing oil coatings that protect the press during storage, with brake cleaner at the top of the list because it does not leave a residue. Though, the dry lube in the Hornady One-Shot gun cleaner/lube is a much better rust preventative and lubricant to keep things running smoothly. I am a house painter, not a chemist, so take with a grain of sodium chloride.

Have you ever thought about putting together a great troubleshooting tips and tricks for the people with the Hornady case feed? I know your insight would be appreciated. Keep up,the great work. Looking forward to the Ar-15 series. I learned something the other day I thought I would share. I reloaded from the same manufacturer the same load but one projectile was I believe plated flat bottom and the other was BT. Both were 55 grn. The FB projectile latterly flies apart in my 1:7 twist barrel ( can't hit paper at 50 yards and key holes etc at closer distance. The BT projectile can easily shoot a 1-1/2. Inch group ( only using a red dot). Thought I would share as it might be an interesting subject for you to talk about. I pulled all he projectiles and reloaded with BT. I am going to let my. Buddy load them up and shoot them out of his 1:9 twist to see how they do. Hope you had a great Father's Day. Rico

You have done an awesome job on your videos. However, I wanted to make a very small correction for you. You mentioned that you used a "1.5mm x 1.9mm o-ring" for the shoulder bolt for the powder measure. I tried finding this and couldn't find it. I then found the same o-ring kit that you used from Harbor Freight (even 4 years later, it is the 225 Piece Metric Nitrile O-ring Assortment #67609) and I found out that you were pointing to the 5.8mm x 1.9mm o-ring. :) So, anyone that is planning on doing this, you need to get the 5.8mm x 1.9mm o-ring, not a 1.5mm x 1.9mm o-ring. Crap happens. I do podcasts and I make mistakes all of the time, so I totally understand. :) I just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone trying to follow the tips and tricks that you suggest. I really appreciate all of the hard work you have done (and currently do) with your videos. I understand you don't use the Hornady any longer, but I still appreciate you keeping this video series up for those of us that are just getting into reloading and purchased the Hornady L-n-L AP anyway. :) (such as myself) These tips are great and you do an awesome job at the presentation. You keep it interesting and base it on safety which is paramount. I'm a firearms instructor and I believe safety is paramount as well, so I thank you for following along in that perspective. Again, please don't take the above negatively. I'm just trying to help out those that may be using your tips and tricks and might have only listened instead of actually seeing (it was hard to see the writing on the box, so I compared boxes and that's how I found out which size it was) which size o-ring it was. :) The other o-ring size (for the lock and load bushing) is correct. Only the shoulder bolt o-ring size was stated incorrectly. Anyway...keep rockin' n' rollin' and thank you again! Mat

I got .223 dies from my boys for Christmas and have loaded 200 rounds in the last 2 days. My issue is this...btw I am running the #2 powder sleeve, I am getting powder on top of the case around the mouth, what would be causing that? Or is that just normal that some powder may stick to the top maybe because of the case lube?

Just save the silicon dioxide moisture packets from a pill bottle or steal them from other stuff you buy and throw them in a small ziplock that you’ve labeled or an old pill bottle you labeled. If you are anything like me you will appreciate the label when you come back to reload and are thinking, “what the heck was this part for again?” Wipe them off and hold with a rag when putting them in their containers so the oil from fingerprints doesn’t get on them as it’s acidic. A fine drywall sanding sponge takes rust off really fast.

Bill, I've watched over 20 of your excellent videos. The problem I'm having is trying to get an accurate, consistent powder charge when loading .243 rounds. I'm trying to load 43.5 grains. However, what comes out of the charger is between 43.0 and 43.8. I have reviewed your vid on the powder charger several times. I'm thinking it may be the that the resizing die on a rifle round takes a bit more force and jars the press a bit which may lead to the variance in powder being thrown. Any help is greatly appreciated. Toby

@silentbob2676 жыл бұрын
Most powder drops struggle to meter out stick powder accurately. You could try switching to a ball or flake powder that will meter better. I have heard that some guys will run the Lee Pro auto disc powder meter on these presses because they are more consistent with stick powders though I have not tried it myself to verify this. If you are loading for ultimate precision you will want to weigh every charge of powder because that is really the best way to ensure consistency from one round to the next. If you are loading plinking/training rounds and maximum accuracy is not necessary typically people will weigh 10 charges in a row and the average weight of those is the target weight they are metering out. For every day ammo .5 of a grain up or down typically won't make that much of a difference. Just make sure you aren't close enough to max charge that the variance in your powder thrower can go over it and you should be fine. Most rifles will also have a sweet spot so to speak in terms of velocity where they will hold a very tight group over .8 to 1.5 grain variance in powder. If you can determine this through ladder testing or chronograph testing and load accordingly most of your variances in powder drop should not even be noticeable.

Highboy76: Thank you for all the Hornady LnL series. All very helpful. I shoot high-power and use the LnL for my practice ammo in 6XC which is a 22-250 necked up to a 6mm. I cannot get the Hornady powder measure to give me accurate throws. I would be happy with 38.5 gr of Ramshot Hunter +/_ 0.5 gr. It starts off ok then after about 10 throws, the charges start decreasing. Have noticed the reading on the micrometer gauge changes, so I readjust it back, and even still the charges start to decrease. I have tightened the allen screw( hand tight). Also having problems with the primer seating high even though i have switched the primer ram to the new cylindrical one. i have tried using the dime under the ram, but really? this shouldn't be the fix. Any help for these problems? Thanks again.

I have quit using my Hornady because I am experiencing issues with not being able to seat past slush and now I am beginning to notice an occasional high primer. I called Hornady and they said they don't guarantee past flush and advised me to use another means of priming like my Redding. Otherwise, they said they cannot help me but, they sent me the dime. The dime threw my timing off so that did not work. I called Dillon and they said if that happened with their machine they would send a new primer block and that would be that!!! I have been loading on my RL550B and have not looked back since. The Dillon will throw powder every bit as consistent as the Hornady. I am sorry I cannot help you.

For example, will that affect the settings and performance of my sizing die or bullet seating die? On another note, thanks so much for these video's. I only recently started to get into reloading and chose the LNL progressive and classic as my presses. It hasn't even come yet, but your video's are going to save me a lot of headaches. I've gotten some of this info on other channels, but your complete end-to-end explanations are helping me gain a clear understanding I can't get anywhere else!

No, by setting the measure to click at the top, that has no bearing on the plate.Once you set it up you will see. Also, I will be doing a new series that will be continuous on reloading and I will be answering questions and you NEED TO CHECK OUT MY BEGINNING RELOADING SERIES!!! Fantastic stuff. It is a full reloading series starting with the 357 magnum, and then we will go into the .223 and the semi-auto. I am also incorporating a womens reloading and gun series. Starting in video 12 I go through powders, primers, and bullets. Thanks for the compliment and for repayment just send me a really good sammage. Good day my friend. Highboy

What powder baffle are you using in the Hornady powder dispenser?
@76Highboy10 жыл бұрын
I ordered it from Hornady. I find the powder baffle works best with the flake and ball powders. You will just have to experiment with it. When I am running extruded powders I leave it out because it seems to measure a little more accurately. Thanks for posting and I hope you say hello from time to time. Highboy

can you tell me what camera you use for your videos? Thank You Clarky
@76Highboy10 жыл бұрын
I use a Canon camcorder. I have had it several month's and I paid about $180.00 for it. Do not get a camera because when you record with a camera you can only record for 20 minutes because they need to cool down. It you continually video with a camera you will eventually ruin it. You can do some video recording but they are not designed to be used continually for that. Thanks for asking. Highboy

Can I ask why you went from Hornady to Dillion? What was the cause? As I have Hornady LNL AP. I love it and the red brand. The bullets I use is all Hornady.
