Here we are, 2023 and primers went from .3 cents to 10 - 15 cents a primer depending how you get them, local, online. Still tho I recover my lead, brass and cast my own missles, so with powder and primer it comes out to about 20 -23 cents a round. $200-230 a thousand still better than $900 and up per thousand rounds of subsonic 300 blk. First thousand rounds of ammo about if not covers all your reloading equipment. Shoot 300 a guy or gal ought to consider reloading if your not already.

Hmm so about the third of the cost of supers. Subs are more expensive. Still seems worth it to me. Plus reloading is fun under the right conditions.

My sequence on a single stage press is a little different. I load my primed cases into the loading block with the primer up. When I remove them to add powder, I go ahead and set a bullet on it and seat the bullet before picking up the next piece of brass. That prevents me from inadvertently forgetting to charge one of the cases and making a squib load.

I had feeding problems for years with my Lee die. I gave up reloading in the AR platform.. now the Mini 14 is a different story. If you could prime a turd, it shoot it. RCBS small base die and the go no gauge has solved all my AR problems. Great video Elvis, your a reloading scholar!

My first powder dropper was same Lee one and then I bought RCBS for about 60 bucks on ebay and the difference is night and day, plastic vs. metal drum. Now my lee dropper is gathering dust, so recommend spend a little more and you'll be much happier. I screwed mine to 1" piece of board that I clamp to the table when I need it. The clamp is to the left out of the way and it's very sturdy and since I can unclam it, I can dump the powder easily since you can't detach hopper on RCBS.

Great video, man. That Hornady manual info is important! My copy of the manual has it correct but there are a bunch of older ones that don't. Luckily I had read about that before I got started with 300blk and knew to double check. With all the problems I've had shooting cast bullets, I think I will buy the same mold you're using and give it a try. I will probably pick up the RCBS Small Base resizing die as well, just for the heck of it! The sizing dies I'm using don't give me any chambering issues (if I set them properly) but maybe there's something else going on with resizing that's contributing to my cast bullet problems. Who knows. I'm willing to try anything. Thanks again. Great video. I love the long ones!

Oh and the difference between the Lee and RCBS resizing is it goes both ways. I think if u turn ur Lee die in a little more u might be fine with the 335 diameter! I don't think Lee would keep making incorrect dies! And if you crimp it more u could be fine as well.

I like to use no powder coat and make sure the lead is hard enough that I can load without a expanding die. If the speed is not crazy it won’t lead the barrel a sub won’t lead it up so if I can avoid powder coat I do. I like minimum work ! That’s not a bad thing. I don’t even clean brass or prep primer pockets ever! I’ve shot steel case convert case with big nasty ugly flash holes with no change in accuracy so I don’t bother. I get plenty of accuracy

We did bright yellow from westcoast. it worked out great. Two coats. First try bombed. our oven would only go to 350.Will use it for target practice later. Did 124 g .355 and 55g 224 about 200 of each. Here is the skinny of it. oven to 400 powder in bowl shake about 10 sec. cook 20 min.. when 1 batch is done you can be back cooking in less than a min.We did 4 cookings in about 1 and 1/2 hour. mic at 356 and 225 when done.. we have a lot left from the 8 oz bottle. We have 11 more colors left, one is gloss clear Might try to second coat dont know yet. I do not think westcoast has got the message yet that there is a whole lot of reloaders out here that powder coat. They make a great product.

if case is too long can get fire out of battery the bolt will not lock. RCBS Small Base, I always full length resize all my brass that gets fired in semi auto, lever and pump action firearms to insure proper function. I've had factory new ammo that failed on a case gauge. I'm going to try sierra 150 grain FP 30-30 bullets in my 300 AAC blackout should have excellent expansion, Manually pulling charging handle back and letting it go it feeds fine, just need to see how it functions live fire, I paid $8.99 per 100 for the sierra bullets many years ago, bought 5 boxes. powder only goes into my uniflow when I load and when I leave the loading bench powder is returned to the can. With the powder throws need to get powder settled so it throws consistent charges, I dump the first 10 charges back into the top then every other charge goes on the scale for the next 20 cases then after that every 5th charge goes on the scale, if a charge is off the previous 4 charges get dumped and redone after measure is adjusted to throw correct charge, after 100 I measure every 10th charge I've just been using a taper crimp, haven't had an issue with bullets getting shoved back in the case, if you try to crimp too heavy I've seen the shoulder get shoved back

hey Ghost Shadow... The 300 blk seems to have some issues relating to this subject. More so than other calibers... some will agree. I have seen the chamber problems cause a slam fire dropping the bolt? And Im glad you brought up factory ammo not fitting a case gauge! Sure enough! I have also heard of factory brass that is sold by name brands not chamber! I agree that some of the problems are from bad builds.. But the info I share, I try not to include those! : ) I have tried the flat points.. really bad for feeding, Just watch the ogive distance to the lands when seating... Thanks for sharing

Great video, just a few comments. I still think its very important to do 10 powder drop and check the average. Reason why, our temperature and humidity change daily which could change your drops. I am subscriber, I would still stress the importance of having gauges for all of your calibers. When dealing with stack tolerances, its critical to check the head space with a gauge. I have been reloading for several years now, I have seen to many times that someone has been hurt because no one double checked the head space. All reloaders should be using gauges. You do outstanding job on your video's and you stress the important of all the steps. I kinda got mix message about using gauges on this video. Please don't take my comments negative, just wanted to stress a few point. Good Shooting My Friend. Harleychromeman

Hey Carlos G.. Yeah good question. As you know there is no load data for some things. I usually measure my chamber using a marked bullet and back off about 40 thousands or so for an AR .. So this way I establish an OAL max. then I work out the OAL based on function. cycling reliably! A case gauge is helpful to check the ammo in. An Oal that I use for the 230 gr lee bullet is 2.230 Always check to make sure it chambers easily! This OAL seems to work for others as well. Just double check.. Hope this helps

hey Joseph Cirigliano.... Im not for sure about that one. the correct dies for auto rifles are short base dies... I had one person tell me that they shaved .005 off a lee sizing die and it worked great. 300 aac is finicky about chambering . in my experience the rcbs sb die and lee crimp die is the bomb! those 2 I rely on!!!!! thanks for watching.. maybe someone that uses the hornaday die will see your comment!!!!

If memory serves, the mold you used to make those bullets was .312 diameter. Did you encounter any problems sizing them down to .308?

Thanks for the reply. Quick follow-up: do you re-size before or after you powder coat?
