I have a Hornady 5.45 two die set. Thank you for showing me how to use this. I'm a new reloader using a Lee press.

Note; if you know the threads per inch. You can determine what one full turn of the die will be. Helps if you want consistent crimps between loads from yesteryear and this year. Also know the "one full turn distance", can help you with seating depth. I hope this understandable. Outside of that, a good video.

One full turn is just over 7 thou (,007).

That is how I started reloading the die setup, screwing them in or screwing them out when not being used. I have since stopped screwing in or out of my dies, instead, I am using Hornady's Die Bushing - Lock-N-Load on my RCBS Summit press. I don't know if it maintains accuracy in resizing with this method. Just something read many years ago.

Instead of running the bullet seater down incrementally and removing the round to measure could you use a snap cap? Assuming you strictly wanted your COAL to be SAAMI spec and you weren't playing with seating depth.

Awesome. Do you have a vídeo of neck adjust in 308?

Are you looking for a neck sizing video instead of full length resizing?

Sorry I accidentally deleted your response. I do not have a video but will be working on that in the future. There are videos out there that explain it pretty well if you’re in a hurry. 👍🏻

I’m confused - when you initially set the bullet depth, you had the crimp of the die turned up one full turn (no crimp). Next, when you turned the die down to set it to crimp, you then rolled the seat depth screw back to the same position. Wouldn’t that change the depth of the bullet seating, since the die is one full turn back down (plus the small amount of turn down to apply the crimp)? Seems like it would seat the bullet down further that full turn, plus whatever the crimp amount was?

@k2defense Жыл бұрын

Kenneth Vance - thank you for the question. The first step is to seat the projectile to the appropriate COAL. The second step is to apply the crimp. The third step is to set projectile depth and crimp together. If you do it per the instructions, you will not change the COAL and seat/crimp simultaneously. Hope this helps. It took me a couple of tries to get it down to what I consider perfection. I get a lot of questions on this so keep them coming if need be! 👍🏻

How much crimp on the .308?

@k2defense Жыл бұрын

Hello @ralphdavis6052! You’ll hear varying opinions on this topic. With non-cannelure projectiles I only apply a limited crimp. This is avoid ramp feed issues that I encounter with the AR platforms. I just make sure the case mouth “lip” is flattened against the projectile. With cannelure projectiles, I use a roll crimp. This is a bit more aggressive. You’ll see the case mouth lip turn into the cannelure. It’s a bit hard to explain and easier to show. I’ll do a video to explain in the next couple of weeks. A word of caution, make sure to not over crimp as this could lead to pressure issues and firearm failure. Hope this helps!
