how do I safely remove an unspent primer from a bad reload? Won't re running the shell back again through the deprmer stage detonate it?

I greet all American fans of the 410 caliber!!! If you want to know how the 410 caliber is equipped in RUSSIA, then visit my channel. In Russia, a 410 caliber cartridge costs 40-70 cents. I don't buy them in the store myself, I assemble them, I have a lot of components, and it costs 10-20 cents. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLZ-Z72IvZiuqGw.html

Just stumbled upon this video recently. I’m still new to reloading with my MEC reloading presses. My starter crimps haven’t fallen out yet but I now know what to do to fix them because of this video!! Thank you so much!! Aside from that… Would you happen to have any knowledge on reloading 10 gauge 2-7/8” vintage loads? Primarily for a Winchester 1901.

I just picked up one of these presses used from an older gentleman who has aged out of being able to shoot trap. I loaded 600 rounds on mine this weekend at a leisurely pace over a couple of days. It's so slick and production rate is so fast, that keeping the shot and powder bottles full take almost as much time as loading the shells. I can't believe how fortuitous I was to stumble into that deal.

Beside shooting trap or sporting clays why would anyone want one besides great crimps? I load all my own waterfowl and Turkey hunting ammo and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to us large flake powder like alliance steel. Please correct me if I’m incorrect. They make a steel master and I’m probably going to buy one soon. I’ve held of because you can’t load Bismuth or TSS on that press any fast then the way I’m doing it now. If you have knowledge on my dilemma please help me out. Thank you!
@rcgray19572 ай бұрын
You are right. It is a high volume reloader for shooters that shoot a lot of ammo. As far as hunting loads you are correct you don't need the high volume of reloads. A single stage reloader is just fine for loading ammo for hunting.

@jamesp7399 ай бұрын
Nice easy fix, thank you! Also like your stand. If's heavy enough that you don't have to clamp or bolt it to the bench. That makes it easy to clear off the bench if you need it for other projects or to make adjustments to the loader. It never fails that what you need to adjust is always on the back side of the machine. I know the focus was on the modification to the pre-crimp die, but it would have been helpful to some if we could have seen the effects of the adjustments to the shell when you applied the pre-crimps. In other words, too little, too much, just right. Thanks again for taking the time to make and post your video!

I got the 650n for free and rebuilt it. Didn't want to buy a primer feed tray. Got just the tube and was hand losing them. Then looked over at the hornady 366 abs said they have to be close. Works great to load manually, just have to rotate it around to keep the primers falling in. The mec one didn't work well unless modifying it. Hit to cut the upper bezels piece of. Cut below the edge with a pipe cutter and push the first piece on. I had two hornady primer trays.
