when I was learning how to do this my resizing die was around 1/16th inch to high. The round wouldn't chamber. I had to go and take apart 500 rounds. A case gauge is a must. This video is gold!

to Brian Cowan, The expander that I use is made by lee. It's called a universial case expander. It comes with two expanders. one is smaller for lower calibers and one large expander for the larger calibers. It expands the case mouth as much as you want. I expand my case just enough for the bullet to just start into the case to eliminate the case from shaving the lead or jacket off the projectile. Brian if I am not explaning this well, let me know and I will try another way with pics. Eddy

@pep729 Жыл бұрын
I just started loading 300. Might be important to mention the wall thickness at the case mouth should never be thicker than 0.014. 0.013 or less is optimal. Might depend on your barrels chamber as some have tighter tolerances than others. You can either sort your brass to known good head stamps or just neck turn them all. A simple hand neck turner can be had for about $100 and as much as 300 ammo is these days it will pay for itself with the first 200 or so rounds. I have nor the time or patience to sit and check head stamps sometimes I can't even see so I just turn them all. You don't want to work the brass too much. I stay around 0.013 - 0.012. Also as you stated the neck OD should never exceed 0.334 after the bullet is seated. Don't solely depend on a case gauge. Use your calipers to measure. No need for a micrometer unless you're measuring for competition loads.I've had quite a few pieces of brass that were on the "bad" list and would get stuck in the chamber but once turned they were good to go. Great video!

I respect your thoroughness, but if you are having to trim the cases twice, that means you didn't cut it right the first time. If you used an adjustable stop on your chop saw, and get the length set right, you wouldn't have to trim it twice. And your chamfering fixture for the drill press is cool, but why? When you chamfer a case, you aren't taking off much. Stick the tool in, spin it once and you are done. Using a power tool for chamfering looks like a recipe for short cases. If you are putting so much effort into chamfering that you need a power tool, it's a sign that you aren't chamfering, you are shortening.

I'm a touch confused. OAL on this 100gr rnd is? Length of the case trimmed is 1 5/8" or 1.0625, or 1.3625. Factory ammo is at 1.355 So I'm getting lost. 2400 powder is 16.9gr I dropped to 15.3 but level is still near the neckdown part of the brass. Seems like a lot. I did a few neck downs by hand. Fun!

Eddy, I have three questions: 1. How did you check the length of the cartridge, if the cartridge is too long it won't go into battery? 2. Do .223 and .556 cases require a different powder charge if using the same brand of powder and grain bullet? 3. How many reloads do you get out of the .223 brass? I have tons of PMC .233 that I would like to cut down to 300 BLK. Nice video, but you need to be careful around that saw, I see you been cut at least two times recently before making this video.

Great video Eddy! I was wondering though, have you found that resizing the 223 to a 300 Blackout reduce the life of the case? From what I've seen normal 223 loaded and reloaded properly will usually be useable for about 5 reloads depending on the circumstances, is this reduced when you change those cases to the 300 Blackout because you're doing additional resizing and trimming?

I belive at the end your talking about brass wall thickness, being able to use and resize foreign and some american brass will NOT work well or at all!. I use only lake city brass after cutting and sizing, I'm getting a constant wall thickness of around ten thousands, or a pinch less.. Iv'e seen some foreign brass at 12-13-14 thousands, and is way too thick to chamber or = go into Battery!.. So a .308 bullet at .308 + 0.10 + .010 for each wall = 0.328 thousands at your neck. you are correct at .333 + will start to be hard to chamber in most 300s or not at all.. Everyone should be checking their wall thickness at the neck right after forming, and chamfering inside and outside of thier cases..........

Why is it a good idea to resize the brass prior to cutting it to length? Thanks
@JamesS.2544 жыл бұрын
When the brass is resized it is bending the brass to the desired shape, in doing this it will shorten the overall length of the case. So if you cut it to length before sizing it, the case will come out too short after sizing. Just remember once you remove the material you can't put it back. So you're better off being slightly longer because you can remove more material if needed. Hope this helps.
