Johnny's Reloading Bench I don’t know if you’d be interested but I’d like to see a .30 carbine bullet put in a 5.56 case and see how fast you can push it (full 45mm length case if possible). Also any other pistol bullet possible in that case would be cool.

Jeremy S no 350 legend is a 9mm basically. I’m thinking of something that could fit in an ar-15 without needing to cut down the case much if at all like a .300 blk does. Also even 350 legend cuts the case and uses unique brass, it’s apparently very difficult to alter 5.56 brass to take a 9mm bullet so you almost can’t really consider it an offspring of the 5.56.

thank you for sharing your bedding experience with that rifle I too had some wood crack out while drilling my front piller on my Remington 700 308 factory stock that i had purchased as my first firearm as a young buck...it made me so sick as it had extreme sentimental value and sat im my safe for last 10yrs unfinished after...my goal this winter is to revisit and get this girl reassembled and to the range... it's going to be a happy day and im feeling the pain now that you experienced on the first day of shooting that gun...nice groups and thanks again

That’s a terrific outcome. Great job

That last group was awesome. Glad to finally see the .300 Mag grouping for you. Nicely done. Now we gotta get your .308 loads developed.

Overall your first time bedding job was awesome ... the next time will be better ... the shooting today was awesome. Keep the video's coming. Thanks

Thanks Johnny!! Enjoyed the video!

You did great Johnny! I'd say your glass bedding job was a success. I was a bit nervous with my first few glass beddings. I started to relax and began to know how to work with the epoxy to make some really great shooting rifles. The free floating part is where they benefited the most I think. That 240 grain smk and h1000 made that rifle come alive! Good work!

so glad you bedded the stock and didnt give up. so rewarding when your effort pays off to drop those groups. the recoil lug is fine provided the lugs were set while the recoil lug was engaged. some bed the bottom metal area also to give that little bit of extra stability and strength to the pillars. sand off any small protruding bumps in the bedding around the trigger area as they can cause obstructions to solid seating over time. a solid low one piece scope mount bedded to the action would also give stability to the action and a dependable scope mount. ive even polished firing pin shafts so they strike the primer consistently and arent as effected by dust buildup. Not sure if your scope has parallax error compensation, but if you dial the parallax compensation in properly, your groups may tighten noticeable. maybe also anneal your case necks. best case ive found so far is ADI, but then im australian, so im biased

Wow! Congratulations J on the bedding job. Stellar improvement! Really good groups especially the last with the heavy bullet and RL 23. Really enjoyed seeing that. Do justice to your hard work and...toss that Hornady brass! Grab some high quality brass and stick with the heavy matchkings...your gun loves them. .001 neck tension is fine UNLESS the magazine is cheap with a weak spring. When bullets move under recoil and slam into the front of the magazine....bad things happen. That said yours performed well it would appear. Just my opinion.

Love your videos. I don’t have or want a 300 WM but I learned stuff about my bushing dies. Also, I had considered getting a Boyd’s stock and bedding it (they’re so pretty). You’ve convinced me otherwise.

Finally!!! Keep the 300 win mag videos coming!

Tip for loading up the lee priming tool tray is to put the tray on the table and turn the primer box upside down before you open then slide the primers out one row at a time. Works great. Also be aware that I''ve had mine on what looked like lock, but turned out to be slightly on and small primers fall out. Since then, I hold it spout up until its in the priming tool so I don't spill any.

Great video! You now have a much more solid barrel harmonic baseline from which to tune the loads. Let the groupings decide if any more bedding work need be contemplated.

Sierra has made two different matchkings in the 200g and 220g weight. The longer length is the newer production which has a higher BC. I had the same thing and called Sierra and found out. Thanks for all that you do!

I love the bug flying away at about 28:59. I need to get my bench finished so I can start loading for my 300wm again. I miss the thump too.

You did a great job with your.300 Win Mag!

Little trick I use to clean up the epoxy that gets pushed out is a little gun oil or clp on a q tip. makes it clean up easy and looks clean.

Another UK viewer, its been to long but glad you have come back to the 300wm. I wouldn’t bother to much about the small details that you point out with the bedding Take a look at how the rifle is shooting that should tell you have done enough to get the best out of your Thompson. Keep up the good work

I took an empty Vitavouri 1LB powder bottle and cut it into a little tray to catch all my brass trimmings. Help keep my bench clean. I'm sure you could do this with many things but I cut mine to drift right under the cutting head. Works great!

I had ruger m77 300 win mag with 22" stainless barrel laminated stock. Beautiful rifle,would not shoot consistent groups. Free floated stock,no difference. After a firing couple 180gr rounds I would start tight gripping anticipating the recoil. OUCH!!!

Love the excitement brother. Keep up the good fight.

I bought a Thompson patriot because of you. Using your reloading info I went to Texas and killed an aoudad at 200 yds using 140 gr Noslers. IToo restocked it with aBoyds thumb hole stock. As of now it shoots great without bedding it but will do so if it warrants it. By the way I turned 90 , 3-7-22

Love your channel and thank you for helping me become a better reloader. I wish you and yours a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving

Glad you're back

Awesome job, I just bought the TC Compass, 10077 300 WIN MAG. I was leaning towards the use of H1000 but I might ( might) give the “Reloader” a go and see what I get on paper. It’s all new, still in the box. I needed this weapon like I need another hole in my head, wife might put one in it if I don’t quit buying toys, at 59 you’d think I would stop. Nah.

Since you bedded this stock and didn't like how it turned out, then sanded it down and bedded it again...now you've done it twice. That makes you a youtube pro. lol Great job.

So excited about the mk248 series. Been waitin a while for that one. Those 200+ gr bullets have to just hit like a truck

Some new 300 win mag love. It makes me happy. Now we need to get some money together to do some 338 Lapua Magnum games.

Always a good day when we get a new jrb video

Good to see ya Poppin in the Georgia chats👍 lil off subject here but I have some Speer HotCor .338 200gr SP I'll send em if ya got something to shoot em out of...I was gonna resize to .323 for my Sporter Mauser but that's extreme..

After bedding my 22-250 Ruger M77 Mk1 I found my go to Sierra 52gn HPBT Match load that used to shoot .75 MOA all day every day went to hell at best 1.5 MOA, and I had to redevelop. My 63gn SP load on the other hand got better by .25 MOA. My conclusion was you never know what you’re going to get, and going back to load development all over again is required.

Good stuff as always

I have that hand primer and yeah I like it a lot my buddy has the bench mounted one and it's 10x better just get a piece of 3/4 MDF or Birch about half the size of a shoebox give or take and mount it to that the bolts are flat so you can torque them into the wood and be flush and you can then store it and not permanently mount to the table but still have the stability

Hey mate it look fine as far as I can see I have 2 boyd stocks and did all the same stuff as long as it shoots all is good 🤘

Glad to see ya back

Yesssssssss I'm glad you are back at it man. Love watching these.

Magnum cartridges must be properly done from head (very important) to neck. I think the problem was it wasn't lubed well enough during full length case sizing. Hence, my previous text. Congrats otherwise, your stock bedding shoes excellent signs that a big improvement has been made. You are on the correct track.... just know birds whispering to you that your stock should've been embedded was correct. I can't wait until you get that one together and get us a moose! Lol. I definitely have confidence in you and your slowly modified TC. Hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving and will have a super better Xmas!

Another great video!

Withstanding your neck tension your stock rehab job seems to be successful

Love the update. Any way to upgrade to use a better magazine? Maybe a 5 or 10 shot metal mag?

Epoxy is a really good glue for timber. The glue will travel up to 10 inches within the cells of the timber and most wood working glues are stronger than the timber itself. This makes the glue joints nice and strong. Your bedding job is fine it’s doing the job don’t play around with what you have already done.

Bedding use to be pillar bedding or glass bedding not both. Then people started doing both. If you do a good glass bedding job, you don't need pillar bedding. If you have a good pillar bedding job, you don't need to also glass bed. It is fine to do both, but it complicates things because you need the pillar bedding contacted correctly or you get no benefit from it and if your pillar bedding is not the right height like the job you did the glass bedding will have you above the lug. Nice video. I like the fact you share your mistakes and people can comment on them. We all make our mistakes and learn. The best learned ones are usually on our biggest mistakes.

Get yourself a belted magnum collet resizing die. It is an absolute must for all belted magnums.

Modify your magazine. I use a Browning A-Bolt II Medallion in 300 Win Mag. for hunting. It also has a very long throat. I hand load 180gr Nosler Ballistic Tips over Reloder 22. It is a very fast round at a little over 3100 feet per second. It shoots less than .5 MOA, most of the time I will hold it down to .350 MOA. I had to mill out the magazine so I could run the bullet out very long. This gun is a beast and one of the most accurate dependable riffles and loads I have ever shot especially for a production hunting rifle.

Throw in some 220Gr ELD-X. I’m about to start up my loads in my Remington

Cavedweller 1959 has some excellent bedding videos.

The task was a necessity....its about time! Perhaps your 300 mag properly tasked will impress you and your followers, and it a valid project in that that mag is too inconsistent when we know you have to get rid of that factory stock to get on that road to consistency or just accomplish that task. What a show full of suspense up to and after your test.

Nice job!

That is rimmed cartridges are magnum because they are deemed belted on the inside and some blank shells aren't? Make sure they are fully lubed when you fully resize.

Really keen to see what those 200gr do

That epoxy on the front lug will be stronger then the wood. So no harm done looks good.

Both Lee primer tools I have owned flip primers.

I bought an aluminum mag catch for my savage axis 2. Works fanstastic well worth the money and looks great. What did you use to block the holes for your magazine and for the epoxy to not go past the recoil lug

Hmmm, those 200gr SMKs might be something I consider for a .30-06 load. We shall see, once I get my post-64 Model 70 fixed up. Need to get the Lyman 17AHB and 57WJS, a PTG DBM, and an AICS style magazine before I can think about getting into reloading though.

Did you ever section that brass? I couldn't find a video. New at this and wanting to learn more about pressure signs in the 300WM before a failure occurs.

One thing to try, bed the first 3” down the barrel from the recoil lug. Your bedding stops to soon

@JohnnysReloadingBench

That is a hotly debated topic that I spent a lot of time reading about. I have several stocks that were bedded by my grandfather and he always bedded the chamber area. I decided to float the whole barrel instead. Stopping at the recoil lug seems to be the most popular method these days. I obviously don't have enough experience or knowledge to really defend that decision. The good news is that it would be a quick job to bed that area, and a quick job to remove it afterward if I wanted to. I would love to make a video where I load up a bunch of ammo and then shoot the gun with and without the chamber area bedded. I'm just backed up too far on reloading projects.

Daryl Blackburn I’ve done it both ways on several rifles but bedding down the barrel has never failed me yet especially with thin hunting profile barrels. Might get away with that if it’s a bull barrel but but a pincer thin one

Hey just a pal wanting to inform a pal, but if you can get a hold of thicker necked brass, cause even in 7mm mag hornady brass has such a thin neck in comparison that it causes a sort of yaw that causes inaccuracy, I found that Lapua, or nickel plated brass is what these belted magnums love

Johnny. Really enjoy your lessons mate. Have you ever thought of testing a HOWA? 7mm 08 would be great to see. Just a wishlist for me. Thanks again for all the lessons mate.

Great stuff!!!

Do you have a chamber chiller? That smaller barrel could benefit from it. Plus, you could test barrel heat vs POI

Sierra 2231 has a REALLY short bearing surface. It's designed to "compete" with the Berger 200.20x F-Class bullet. There's a 30 page thread on Accurate Shooter about it. It doesn't perform as well as it should.

That epoxy cleans up real nice when wet with q-tips and good old wd-40.

If the epoxy behind the receiver bothers you, and it would me, just blend some paint and touch it up.

I’ve got one of these in 7 mag. I can’t shoot more than 3 consecutive before the barrel gets to hot (IMO). How much time between shots are you taking?

Johnny I wouldn't be worried about that wood crack in the mag well. You used devcon to repair it and devcon is some tough stuff. It's actually probably stronger than what it was before as long as you have a good bond.

Johnny where did you get the pillars for the Boyd's and the compass stock? My AT-ONE came in today for my 6.5cm and needs to be pillar and glass bedded. I have the devcon just need some pillars.

Hey Johnny, Can you measure the head of your case from the front of the belt to the face of the head. Little tricky both my FC and Nosler 300 WinMag cases are about 0.216". Have read sometimes the belt could be to thin allowing excess headspace. This may allow the head to stretch backwards after the body obturates to the chamber wall. Even though we set headspace to the shoulder, if the belt was thin in front the case shoulder can collapse upon the impact of the firing pin creating excessive headspace before the case obturates to chamber. Brass spec SAAMI is .220-.008 Chamber spec SAAMI is .220-.227

Very cool! The 300 WM out shoots your AR10! Are you wearing a limbsaver? Those heavies tend to kick like hell? Is VV 160 a candidate powder? So the TC rifle is $250. How much for the Boyds stock? S& W must have one hell of a good hammer forge machine to make those accurate barrels? Great job!

I am sure the case head separating problem is caused by the Larry Willis die. I would like to see how you fare without using it with the same brand brass you had the failure. If you work the case in that area it is likely to cause failure. If you end up not being able to resize the case after a few reloads then try using the Larry Willis die sparingly to allow the case to be inserted. I don’t think it should be taken back to factory size according to my experience. I own a Ruger m77 in 300 WM and really enjoy shooting it. I like the videos and hope to see more like this.

My best groups ever in 300wm was R 26 and 220 sra. Same problem, cant find the powder.

Good shooting gun. Pick up a box of 190 GMM to test. Would give 60 cases for load development.

Do you think the Lyman is as good as the Redding for the price i have really been considering one. But i'm not sure to go that route or get a rock chucker. I want something a little higher precision then what I have now.

Does anyone else have a problem watching Johnny's Reloading without thinking about the "real doll" video? That was just too funny. BTW, I've done several stocks and you did OK with that stock. The Boyd's stock has the recoil lug too low and the skim coat of epoxy is fine. Also, the wood should be happy with the epoxy where you had the break. Now, you can do the 6.5 without any errors.

I think the concept is you flip the primers into both halves and then shake them down to the bottom half.

Rookie question here, Johnny. If you're using fire formed brass, intended for the same rifle, is the purpose if resizing the belt area of the case only for extending brass life? Or is this a neccessary step for all belted mag cartridges?
