Re: My first video
Hello. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Now for the harsh words of criticism...
I always thought it a bad idea to have the distraction of a television in my reloading room. Like to keep my focus on the task at hand. Usually that also means leaving the answering machine to handle landline phone calls. And my cell phone is normally switched off during reloading sessions too.

Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: My first video
You need a reloading tray.
Not a good idea, IMO to go straight from the powder drop to inserting the case in the press and seating the bullet. I'll try to link to the discussion from my phone, but if I can't, then search for "reloading tray" and user BobK from the last couple of days and you'll see some posts made by Sevens and myself.

Some people are capable of producing quality loads with a television on contrary to popular belief. I don't listen to the radio, so I use the tv for background noise.

Re: My first video
That may be so, but for an instructional or even demonstrational video, I would think removing any distractions in the video would be a good thing.Gaspode wrote:Some people are capable of producing quality loads with a television on contrary to popular belief.

Did you really make those .223 rounds yourself?
I think the government had a hand in it too.
"E" for effort.
Take the advise offered here.
Good luck!

Re: My first video
I have an old plastic sandwich spread tub that I put 50 prepared cases in. I pick up a casing, charge it with powder, pick up a bullet, seat and crimp, and then put the completed round in another tub. What am I missing?BobK wrote:You need a reloading tray.

I used to hand load with a lit ciggarette hanging out of my mouth.
Anyway, thanks for sharing the video.

Re: My first video
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I prepare a tub of brass, and then process 5 rounds at a time. Weigh the powder, charge the case, after 5 are done and in my loading tray, get the mini-mag and visually check/compare powder levels in all 5 cases - just a last sanity check to insure a single charge in every case. Then seat the bullets. - Just saw the link to Bob's post saying the same thing, only much better!HancockCountyHAl wrote:I have an old plastic sandwich spread tub that I put 50 prepared cases in.

Josh, nice vid, I keep a tv on in the background when reloading, but it is behind me, so that I don't lose my focus on the task at hand.

Re: My first video
A loading tray is safer because there is less risk of a momentary distraction creating a risk of an uncharged or double-charged case.HancockCountyHAl wrote:I have an old plastic sandwich spread tub that I put 50 prepared cases in.

I know it is easy to say "it won't happen to me", or "I wouldn't do that", but the evidence gathered over the years from thousands of handloaders is sooner or later someone drops something or the floor, the wife comes in to ask a question, the phone rings, or something else happens that interrupts the routine. Then the risk is the handloader resumes what they were doing with a mental brain fart about skipping a step or doubling a step.
When a completed lading tray is now filled and the next step is to get out the flashlight and check all the cases, that is a step people will not miss performing.
There is a lot of accumulated reloading wisdom when it comes to safety practices that I simply choose to accept instead of trying to reinvent everything for myself.

Re: My first video
I'm pretty new myself, and have music on all the time.
For sure use a reloading tray. 2 old empty plastic holders from 9mm ammo work just fine.
But you will find the real tray will work better because they space the rounds out.
I weigh every round so the funnel fits better. And easy to pick up for the press.
I clamp a 2x12 with my press on it to my desk.
Limited space in our rental.
I put my powder drop on a Hornady LNL collet and put it on the press.
Drilled 1 1/8" holes in a 2x4 to hold the LNL dies and powder drop when not in use.
I would hate to think what I would do if I had that space.
