Reloading series
Posted: Thu Jul 04, 2013 4:02 pm
I'm doing a series of videos (and some words here) about reloading to save money and make better ammo than factories can. Note, it's very much NOT that they don't know how - they just don't know your gun, and a good fit is crucial to accuracy and reliability. They have the latter pretty much hammered, but have to make ammo at the small end of the SAAMI specs so it will fit in the tightest/dirtiest chamber, resulting in a loose fit in most actual guns. This results in poor accuracy, as if a bullet doesn't enter the barrel perfectly straight, the pressures involved will deform it - and it won't fly straight thereafter. Gun control is hitting your target - and only your target!
Here's the video intro:

Please pay special attention whenever I use the word "safe" or related. This is pretty safe if you do it carefully. Every handloader should remember this mantra as the top one - the trashcan is your friend. Anything that looks the least bit wrong, is wrong, ditch it, it's not worth it safety wise to recover a bad piece of brass, it's not THAT expensive, but medical bills from a piece of brass that lets go during firing might cost a lot more.
Note, absolutely no one is paying me even a penny to do this - if I say some product is good, it's because I think so myself, having paid for it. This gives me the freedom to also mention ones I've run into that aren't so good...and I will.
