Greg, just wanted to tell you that I have been following your great videos and with incorporating your techniques into my process and today I was able with my new 6.5 Creedmoor to put 7 shots under 1/2” at 300 yards. I was using Alpla SRP brass, CCI magnum primers, H4350, Berger 140 gr. Hybrid Target with an expanding mandrel .003 over and seated with a K&M Arber press. Average Velocity 2708 with an SD of 3.6 Thanks again, Tom

A reloading process tier rank would be cool. Ive got a decent handle on whats important in my process, but for an intermediate reloader that wants to up his game, it would be very handy to know where to spend the money next. When it comes to the call of perfection, its important to realize that the law, even as its given in the sermon on the mount, serves to condemn the sinner (all of us). Our perfection is only found in Christ. Not of ourselves.

Folks that are not sure Greg has hit the mark with his teachings of Christ. I can say the more you apply your self like you do with reloading the more God shows an blesses us in his time. He is watching over his living words waiting to apply them to us that try or practice it.. Hebrews 4;12..

[@keeperdearborn]

Just a quick question . What is the purpose of the dryer sheets? What is the benefit of neck brushing with lube? Thanks so much for your knowledge.

[@primalrights]

The dryer sheets keep static cling to a minimum and they snag some contaminants each cycle as well. I don't brush necks, but I use an undersized bore mop to deposit some imperial wax on the ID of the neck. This ensures the expander mandrel in the die can glide over the surface of the neck uniformly without building up brass. Just keeps things nice and smoothly uniform.

[@keeperdearborn]

@@primalrightsthanks. Just ordered SAC 6.5 creedmoor with expander mandrel. Hope it’s as great as you say. Any specific instructions that I should be aware of?

[@James_Jacobs]

I saw and understood the universal decapping die step for the few cases, but do you use a decapping mandrel for the rest of your cases or keep the decapping and mandrel/sizing operations separate?

[@ricklytton1045]

As someone new to reloading, these process/checklist videos are awesome! One quick question on the dryer sheet idea. I was ready to just grab some sheets from our laundry room until I read that "Dryers sheets vary quite a bit from one product to another. Some use clay as the primary additive, others use fatty acids and some use quaternary ammonium salts." Bottom line, apparently some dryer sheets can leave a residue on the brass? So, any recommendations on which brand or type of dryer sheets to use? Thanks

[@primalrights]

I use these exact sheets - amzn.to/4cSzXUq

[@vv-o-l-f9155]

[@ardleopard]

In most of your videos you preach reproducibility, but I have not heard you talk about the differences between a flame and an induction annealer (such as the AMP) when it comes to producing the same results over and over again. What is your take on this @primalrights? I can see a lot more factors that you would need to control when flame annealing vs when using an AMP annealer. Love your videos Greg and especially this one.

Did you clean your rifle chamber before you checked headspace?

[@daveenriquez7790]

Greg, I have been reloading for about 10 years now, and I still am learning from you. Thanks for what you do. Quick question that I really have never heard a definitive answer to anywhere. If your brass length is within the general Sammi Spec length, would you trim all your brass to the same general length for best consistency or would you just load them even if they varied in length by say .005"? I don't know if a variance of .005" in length makes a difference in neck tension and accuracy or not. Thus, I always trim to get my cases within +/- .001". Am I wasting my time or is this good practice for consistency?

[@primalrights]

@@daveenriquez7790 Watch my series on trimming.

[@daveenriquez7790]

@primalrights will do thanks, I probably should have looked for it before I asked. You are so thorough in your process and should have known you have already addressed this. Thanks for all you do!

[@lbb05rgv]

Man! I'm just getting into reloading and went with a vibratory tumbler and rice based on an article from you using a specific rice. I see this video and you're tumbling with a different media. Great video still and great information as always. Just curious how you identify which situation calls for rice or otherwise.

[@primalrights]

That is rice I'm tumbling in... Primal Rice!

[@lbb05rgv]

@primalrights Awesome, I thought it looked different. Glad to be wrong! 👍🏽

[@senditsa]

First of all... love your content. Please keep at posting this awesome content ...... Question that i cant get my head around... when you done full sizing and then cleaning and running through all the steps before you start loading primers, powder and bullets is there no way that the necks can bend a little and not keep its perfect shape that the mandrel gives it? Because those cases are tumbling and falling etc.

[@primalrights]

@@senditsa Perhaps if you neck turn too thin.

[@frontrowprecision7135]

Great video as alway Greg! What jaws do you have in your vice?

[@primalrights]

[@raynovanderwalt]

Asking due to a lack of experience, but when checking the brass right at the beginning why do you completely disassemble the bolt to work with it?

[@primalrights]

So I get a true feeling of whether anything is binding. You can't do that with the ejector plunger or firing pin spring fighting against you.

[@mattgeering5648]

Thanks for the content. Do you mind sharing which torch nozzle you’re using?

[@trikelife4960]

Gregg one thing I'm noticing with both your videos and Keith over at Winning In The Wind, is not cleaning brass before annealing and sizing. Conventionally we're taught to clean our brass before lubing and sizing. This is obviously not the case with shooters like yoursef, Keith and others. Is the carbon on the neck a non-issue for the sizing operation? I shoot and load 308 for nothing more than what I'd call long range plinking. But I am always trying to improve my loading operations without adding too much cost or complexity, within reason. Would I be better served just leaving the powder fouling on the necks until post-sizing tumbling?

[@primalrights]

@@trikelife4960 Yes, I view cleaning before to be wasted effort. It can also be out right harmful.

[@trikelife4960]

@primalrights your insight never ceases to amaze me. Thank you very much! Time to reorder some things in my reloading.

[@trikelife4960]

​@Lucysdad66 you need to watch the video and read Greg's response above. The three pieces he decapped were to test fit in the rifle, the rest were not decapped prior to running through the sizing die. He even says above that he does not clean prior to sizing.

[@primalrights]

@@garysreloadingroom Tumbling removes it. Watch the rest.

[@raynovanderwalt]

why don't you just measure 3-5 brass and subtract 2-3 thousands from that?

[@primalrights]

Because if the brass doesn't need to be set back, you don't want to set it back. That's how you get case head separation. A comparator isn't your chamber. It doesn't account for radius variation at the neck/shoulder junction or body shoulder junction. Fitment is fitment, measurement is measurement. Once you have a reliable enough understanding of how the chamber measures and record actual working dimensions... then you can likely just go from measurement as long as you're using the same comparator. Until then, a fitment check is needed before and after sizing.
