Thanks dude, being messing around try to size my 7.62x39's and it just was not measuring up. Your gifted teachings solved my problems, Good advice here people.

Clear and concise. Wish this video was around bout a decade ago.

Thank you! I've only reloaded straight walled cartridges to this point. This was helpful to get me started on necked ones. Thanks again!

Thank you my friend. I'm real experienced with shotgun reloading but clueless as to rifle reloading. Good job. Learned a lot.

New to reloading. Thanks for your step by step instruction. Subscribed and Liked!

I love 7.62nato…. My favorite surplus to buy… love trying all the different countries that have produced it for over 70-80yrs…. German dag and men…. Aussie adi… Brit radway green… South African r1m1… Portuguese fhm…. All awesome and clean good brass… some have berdan primers tho…. But for the most part the newer produced stuff is great brass for reloading 308

I have removed ALL from my dies the decapping pin to prevent overworking the neck inside instead I use Lee's Collet Die for more than 25 years of reloading (33 years as of this month). 308 W is my new reloading challenge cartridge.

Great info and great teaching. Not a common combo! Subscribed.

Great .308 tutorial. I spy some InLine Fabrication gear in there too which makes it even better. 😁

Yes I was having bolt feed issues on my .308 and the small base die cured that problem.

Very helpful thank you, I haven't seen one video explain how to seat the dies.

I use the RCBS small base X dies for 30-06, 308 and 223Rem. For many years and for many thousands of rounds. in ARs, M-1, and M1A

Excellent video. Many thanks

I like your video but the begining with your voice low and then you increase the volume and bam the sound logo full volume😆

Being new to reloading, thanks for the video. I'm reloading for hunting and not really for anything long range if you know what I mean 😏 thank you 😊

Great video and great information

Great information, excellent work on explaining details. Do other dies work the same way, or does the process steps change when using Hornady or other dies?

Great video and i like your simple but efficient set up. Ive watched the end of the video many times an I can't quite understand the difference between the seating and the crimping. It looks like your doing the same thing.

Was wondering why you did not include a step to check the formed case in a gage to confirm it is meeting headspace specs? When I first started reloading 308/7.62 Nato, with my 1st batch of 300, many would not allow the bolt to close. Bought a Hornady cartridge check gage.. found the ones that would not chamber, failed the check. Ended up pulling all of them apart, and carefully ran them thru the process again.. I figured I was not running the case all the way into the die. Problem solved. Now, when I do a batch, especially if I am using fired 7.62 nato brass, I check every single case. Sometimes, no matter how many times I resize a case in question, it fails the gage check. Those I toss. All of my dies are Lee Brand for all the calibers I reload.

This is by far the best video I’ve seen so far for a beginner like me. Thank you for going step by step and not doing 50 cartridges in between. One question, when you do an additional quarter turn on the resize die, is that a measurement somewhere that needs to be made? Is that different for full size vs small size? Is it unsafe if I did so with a full size die? Or just possibly less accurate? Thanks again man, great video.

thanks for the video. i'm considering getting into reloading but i'm concerned that it's too easy to screw something up and hurt myself. you made it look very easy though. god bless

I use a Lee 4 piece resizing die and then I don’t use the resized after once fired as it’s a bolt action and have been formed to my chamber

I have .308 Browning BLR lever action rifle. There is no way a regular .308 full size die will chamber. I bought a RCBS small base die set and now its no longer an issue. So I would say its essential for this rifle.

So could you keep a completed round at your desk to use as a guide for setting your crimp and seat die? Wouldn't that save allot of effort. Then you can double check your first rounds with the calipers to make shure your at the right col and presto you just set your press in half the time.

Thx Subbed

Holy shit I want to get into reloading just for consistency reasons but damn it! Seems like there are so many steps for error!!! No wonder store bought ammo has vast difference when shooting

Small base dies are for auto loading rifles and aren't needed for bolt rifles. Sometimes even an auto loading rifles doesn't need the cases sized is SB dies. I did an AR 10 upper in 308 then got lucky that this AR Stoner barrel works fine for cartridges sized in standard 308 Redding and RCBS dies. I own AR 10 uppers in 6mm - 284 win / 6.5 284 Norma / 375 - 300 WSM and with these uppers the reloaded casings didn't need me to request the sizing die to be made a small base sizer die. Personally, I wouldn't back off the bullet seating die at all once screwed down to a stop on a cartridge because I want the full alinement of the bullet as it is pressed into the cartridge. By backing off the seating dies it can cause the wabble affect and cause at the base of the bullet is unsupported letting push outward in any direction. For seating bullets in the cases I seat the bullet a little a time then check with the rifles where the bolt closed in the loaded cartridge and then set the die for that bullet seat depth. Some rifles have a longer chamber throat than you can seat the bullet out then the cartridge won't fit into the rifle's magazine so in this case I seat the bullets to where the cartridge fits into the magazine. Not all chamber reamers are the same so going by book recommendations for bullet seating isn't always true for the rifle you own. As an example, when I bought from Pacific tool & gauge the reamer for the wildcat called 375 - 300 WSM there is also a reamer 378 WSM, the 378 WSM cuts a longer throat than the 375-300 WSM and being this is in the AR 10 I have to remember the loaded 375-300wsm cartridges must fit in the steel 20 magazines of an AR 10 so the 378 WSM wasn't what I wanted. If someone wants to know about the 375-300 WSM look it up and it is a match in power for the 375 H&H magnums.

Nice video and tatoo 😊 Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

Id like to know what brand the drill powered trimmer is that you used here please.

i'am noticing that at 2;30 you are holding a cae that seems to not be sized at the head of the case i can see a line on the case , to me that means the cam over is to much. i've had case do that and stick in the chamber after that.

I was smashing brass till I figured out my dies put a roll crip and seated the bullet. Think I’ll just get a set of Lee pacesetter die sets. That way I don’t smash any more brass. lol

What's your primer seating depth ? Factory spec is 0.004" my groups are better at 0.007" .. Some like 8 to 10 Thousandths..

Could you use 7.62x51mm brass for reloadinh .308

my cam over is very little because i only want to have the shoulder move 2 thousands

Awesome. Do you have a tutorial to caliber the neck?

Do you think you could do a video on 8x56 mannlicher rimmed?

Case trimmer drill chuck and holder link? Just getting started and need the link please.

I use small base dies for reloading .308 for my Browning BLR. Requires less stress on the action to chamber a reloaded round.

Noobie here..so do u buy nultiple single head stations to avoid removing and reinstalling those dies every time you want to reload? or do you just do a whole bunch of one step at a time?

I kinda want to reload a hobbie, and some for cost. What do you think price is over factory? 50% less? (I know there's a large initial buy in... thanks, great vid

Your set screw fell out the seater die lock ring

lost your lock ring set screw at 7.48 in the video, it looked like it fell to the right

My reloading instructor says small base dies are for convenience. To teach proper fundamentals, skip the small base dies and ask students to carefully measure headspace/shoulder bump and look at the SAAMI specs.

Good Video thanks

where do you get primers?

The case length is 2.015.

Thank you!!

Why crimp? Are you using a semi-auto? No annealing?

Better fix the seater plug.... leaving a bad nasty ring on the bullet

Do you neck lube? With the mandrel in the fl die running through the neck i have seen adding a little wax or dipping in dry lube. But im not seeing anyone else doing that

Curious about how much your lil setup costs

I understand this video is for beginners but you're totally guessing and most likely bumping the shoulder more than needed and overworking your brass going with the 1/4 turn. Even beginners should be taught to take fire formed brass from their gun, measure it and be reloading for their chamber. 1-2thou bump for bolt guns and 3-4 for semi auto

For beginners? you have a lot of high end tools that a beginner wouldn't have.

fix your audio

sorry dude.. i have a serious issue taking any man seriously that is to afraid of getting his hands dirty or a few callouses. I worked as a mechanic for about 40 years and not once did i wear gloves. heck no such thing existed back then.... i mean come on man.. man up!!
