Very practical, common sense, down to earth, and simple reloading information. Love it!

I've watched 75 reloading videos and this is a really good one.

Cheers mate from South Australia, best channel in terms of practical no BS information. You have a new follower ;)

This is one of the best 308 reloading videos, and i think i have watched all others

You can speed up your swaging even more by putting a counter- sink steel bit in the drill chuck, and just holding the brass, about 3 revolutions does it. Just a trick a learned... Great video; very informative!

Thank you very practical no non sense . I have done everything with my 325wsm that you have done but have a hard time closing the bolt. This restores my confidence being I am new to reloading.

I saw this and was hoping you were reloading for your M305. Great videos keep them coming!

A couple tips. Lyman makes a primer pocket cleaner with a bevel cutter to chamfer the pocket mouth. It cleans the pocket and opens the mouth with proper chamfer and depth. $14. The best case lube ever is the Dillon Lube, 1 oz. of liquid lanolin in 12 oz. of isopropyl alcohol (ISO-Heet fuel line antifreeze, red bottle). Put it in a Dawn Power Foam spray bottle for a fine mist. Throw your brass in a gallon Zip Loc bag, give it 3-4 sprays and tumble. Slickest stuff ever and won’t effect powder and primers. I use it to turn 308 brass into 6.5 Creedmoor in one pass. One more thing, when setting over all cartridge length you want to leave the bullet at least .010” off the lands. With the bullet contacting the lands on firing it can cause pressures to spike.

Hey Glockster, super interesting and well made! Learned a lot! Will do a reloading course soon. Thanks alot, C.

I tumble my brass twice, once to clean the brass before resizing and after resizing just to clean off the resizing lube.

Greetings from New Zealand, great video keep up the good work !!

Thanks for taking the time to watch.

That OAL lands trick with flattening the neck is a great tip! Thank you

For a novice this was very clear explanation of sequence of process and reasoning behind it. Thank you br.

Great Video with all the details that most everybody else omits ..

awesome quick summary. well done mate.

Nice reloading tutorial, follow this and think you will be a winner every time. Thanks and take care.

Great advise at the end! Thanks for the information.

tyvm for this video, excellent tip on the seating depth of the bullet, will try that :)

Thanks for a very informative video!

Great video, my question is do I do the same thing as far as placing the resized brass in an AR to see how it sits in the chamber?

Thanks for making and sharing this super video....

This guy is good. Thumbs up and thank you for the video.

Great information, particularly dialing in OAL. Thanks!

You are very helpful! I am new to reloading and you explained so well even a yankee could understand it.

Thanks for sharing,? Always glad to learn more,? No matter how long you been hand loading.?

awesome video--lots of fun to watch

Thanks for the video very helpful. I am new to reloading haven't done it myself yet but have watched a friend re load .308 rounds he annealed the rounds, do you have a video to show this process and to explain a bit more about it?

Very interesting and most informative reloading video to date. I'm very new to reloading in fact just out of the box. I find some videos it's a case of look at me and how much I know. Yet you have broken this down, to be very precise and a simple step by step process, I have ruined some cases to date by not being able to follow the die set up. Once again you have made this so elementary to follow. Therefore time to replay your tutorial as I reload some 308 and load development ? Cheers from Scotland

Hey my 308 brass gets a ding on side when being ejected.Looking down inside cartridge hardly noticeable at all but some are.Would it be safe enough to reload in your opinion?

excellent video helped me a lot good .30-06 for a garand is impossible to get in Europe

Very good information any Reloader 👍🏻

Good informative video. You have shown full length case resizing. How is neck sizing done?

Nice video, will do a trial run on a a brass case and bullet to see where it seats and see if it does fit into my magazine. Would you assume the bullet be more accurate as oppose to manufacture bullets.

Very informative. Thanks for making the video I love my .308

Done, thanks for the reminder.

great video. Thanks.

So what your saying is that after you set your re sizing Die,? That it touches the Shell holder,? It is advisable to turn it down another 1/2 turn,? T o re size it a little deeper,? So that it will chamber into the rifle easy,? When you are closing the Bolt etc.? Right.

Can you give the part number for the Lee Case Length Trimmer (shell holder and chuck)?

Great video!

Can you list all the part numbers for the case gauge trimmer so I can get this set-up?

Thanks for a straight forward instructional video!

Great video man! I know this video's a few years old but there's a ton of stuff out there to really speed this process up. At least as for processing your brass.

Great video man

You could save yourself a lot of time by getting a countersink bit and put that in the drill. They are about $5 at any hardware store and it removes the crimp just as well.

Great video overall however, you really should use a primer pocket reaming tool to clear the primer of the excessive brass.

If they are mil-spec or cases loaded with FMJ the primers may be crimped in. Go slow so you don't break the de-capping pin. Then ream out the primer pocket to remove the crimp.

love your video's glockster!!! keep up the great work. how about more beer reviews.

Informative video. Thanks for taking the time and effort. Also, subbed.

great vid, very helpful. thanks.

If you are reloading for more than one gun keep the brass separated and always used in the same gun. Also you should properly inspect for stretched brass

Very informative, will use it as a templet.

First pull apart your die and remove the decapping pin, easy to do with a RCBS type die, if you can't remove it the primers gotta go. Use some WD40 and kill the primer. Lube the case and then screw the resizing die down a 1/4 turn and resize the case. Have the rifle with you and keep turning in the die until you can easily chamber a round. If you've killed the primer with WD40 make sure you clean and tumble the case to remove any residue.

I just started reloading 308's I collect brass from whomever and wherever. When I reload all powders are the same grain but I notice at times bullets will go stray from my intended target. Is this because I'm using all types of casing? I wonder if I should only use one type of brass when shooting precise shooting?

Lickerdy split lol thanx you made my day not heard that in years

Outstanding. Thx

Not to get off the subject but...I like your paint job on your rifle. What kind/make scope rings are on your Savage? Swell video.

Hi, I'm new to reloading (just bout a bunch of gear but haven't used it yet). I want to get into precision shooting. In the video you said just resizing the neck may be better for that but you prefer to resize the entire case since you have multiple firearms in .308. So in the video did you only resize the neck? That part has my confused. Other than that I've loved your videos.

HI Thanks for the video! Could you please explain what you meant by "give it a flat spot" right before you run a case into the rifle chamber to get a custom over all length., sorry I'm just not getting it..

what do you think about lee reloading dies

I just found your video for the first time however I'm going to look and see if you done anything on crimping a 308 Round And if not would you please do a video on how to crimp a 308 round using a RCBS press thank you? Also this is probably the best video I seen so far for a newbee that's just starting to reload ammo... I'm running my 308 ammo out of a AR-10 and I was told that you have to crimp the ammo to keep from pushing the bullet back into the case however I can't seem to find a video that shows you how to crimp 308 ammo...

It seems most folks making these videos leave the primer in during the tumbling process. Wouldn't it behoove you to remove the primer first so the pocket can be cleaned somewhat by the media? Thanks. I just got my first .308 yesterday and want to develop a nice, accurate, hunting load.

Thank you. Excellent lesson.

Canadian Eh good video keep it up.

Why not put the deburring tool in the drill? Great video , good to see your tips for accuracy.

Does your brass deform from the chuck of the drill?You must not be reloading for accurately?

I mostly use a File Trim Die & a File,? Been doing it this way for years,? And no problems,? As I do not load such a large bunch of Brass,? So the file Trim Die,? Serves my needs etc.? I just Invested in the Lyman EE Z Trimmer Hand Tool.? Going to give it a try also.?

Next video.

OK, so your trick to determine overall cartridge length by seating the bullet in the dummy round with the bolt action of the rifle gives you an absolute maximum length and no jump to the rifling for that particular rifle. No jump at all. Is it your belief that zero jump is the best for accuracy? Is there theory that a few thousandths jump might be better? Honest question. I just started reloading. Thanks.

Your welcome.

I like your method of determining the over all length with the bullet, but you neglected to show how to measure to the ogive.

You should put a link to your video about finishing the rest of the bullets in the description. Great video though.

Thanks

I use only 7.62x51mm NATO in my M305. I don't trust hunting ammo with the higher pressures and thinner cases. I do have the Savage 10FCP-SR and only use handloads in it.

Do you anneal your rifle cases at all? Thanks for the vid - very informative.

Awesome vid

Glockster42, great vid! I've watched 3 times. I've just received my Lee cutting tool and can't thank you enough for the recommendation. I have a question regarding seating the bullet too much. I used my micrometer to measure factory bullet length. I then seated my bullet to the same; 2.073. Is it dangerous to over-seat? will it cause too much pressure?

👍👍

I see blue tips!

At around 14:46 he says something like "double dooya". Can you help me with that expression? What does it mean? How is it spelled correctly, if it's even a word after all. Thanks

Put the debur tool in the drill

No offence, but if I recall correctly, the instructions I've read for resizing dies say "run the ram up all the way, screw the die in till it touches, then _back the ram off and turn the die in another eighth to a quarter turn_ before locking it in with the lock ring". Which adds up to what you did in two steps. Otherwise an excellent presentation.

Are you out there killing those big whitetails? Hope all is well!!!

If you are shooting your .308 ammo in a bolt action rifle you can neck size second time, if you are shooting them through a semi auto I only full length size.

thats fine for bolt action but for ar platform is diffrent

From watching your video it looks like you need one of my machines.

Yikes!!! You chuck up cases with a drill chuck??? Holy Scheiße! I think I'll stick to using my deburring tool and my hand, to hold the case to remove primer crimps...

..anyone's feelings on the Lee .308 dies?

Very careful to avoid cussing for the full first 3/4 of the video, then "Lee Case Length Trimmers are the shit man." Haha, guess they are pretty good! ;)

Ber-i-dan?

Turned in all your guns to Trudeau yet??
