It looks like your press is mounted on the end of a diving board the way it flip flops around. About 30 seconds of this video was all I can stand to watch.

I have reloaded over 10,000 45 long cartridges using a rock tumbler with walnut media. I run it for one hour and it Works great. Cost depends a lot on bullet weight. Good informative video.

Excellent video! Youre a natural teacher, much appreciated. Thank you.

This is one fine video. Thank you so much for all the detailed information.

This vid was perfect . My kids wanted to see what reloading was . Thay got to see it happen and I hade cases with old and new primers and some with no primers to show them .thanks for the vid. I miss my 45lc

Excellent video! Very nice explanations. Looks like you are having a lot of fun. Keep it up👍🤠

I've been reloading for 15 years and am always trying to learn new things by seeing how others do it. This video will be recommended to a friend wanting to get started. Thanks for putting it together. I never realized that blackpowder sounded so different than smokeless. But i haven't shot it since i was a kid shooting my dads flintlock. I use a universal decapper before i tumble with walnut. Then i resize. That way the decapping pin in the resizer removes any walnut pieces stuck in the flash hole.

Great video, thank you. 2024 update: primers at 9 cents (90$ for 1000 at Bass Pro.)

First , that's some fine shootin, can tell you go through some ammo. Very well put together instructional video. APPRECIATE you taking the time. 🍺

Nice video. I have exactly the same vibratory tumbler. It's the 3rd one I've had in about 35 years of reloading. I've found that it doesn't do as well with brass fired with black powder as it does with smokeless, unless I wash the brass first with hot water and detergent to get the black powder fowling off. After that, the crushed walnut shell media with a little brass polish added makes them look like brand new. Stay safe out there.

Just made some 45 colts on my Lee turret press tonight truely awesome thanks for the video

Great video, excellent description of the process and financial cost of reloading, I just starting with new cartridges. 45 Long Colt, most of my revolvers are .357 magnum and due to price I'm thinking to start reloading. Thank you.

Very good video thank you you are a good teacher

Well explained, Partner!

Thanks for the information

7:34 boy oh boy, our country sure needs one of those!

Thank you, man.

Great video; thanks!! I have just one question -- where do you find 50 round box for $31?! The cheapest I could find was $68!! Cheers from TX.

I load BP and use full power loads in my 1860 .44-40 Henry riflr and mule ear shotgun.

Ever run into any issues running dirty brass into the decapping/sizing die?

Think you can give me a recipe I wanna try trailboss for my Henry big boy 44 mag rifle , I only been reloading less than two years I just wanna use less powder it’s for plinking only thanks

About $1.10 cents a shot off the shelf now or about $54.95 for a box of 50. Makes reloading really looks appealing!

What kind of powder do you use and how many grains thanks

The spent primers contain Lead Styphnate a toxic compound. I see you are wearing a glove. I just recently started doing that. My wife made me move the reloading out of the house when we had young kids. I still keep it in the shop and bought one of the presses with the primer drop tube so I can drop them in an old laundry detergent bottel. If a primer hits the floor I am sure that the old priming mixture winds up on the floor where it can be tracked through the house.

That’s also why I went to wet tumbling, to avoid the dust from walnut media polishing.

Good video for the 2000s. I want to know how the cowboys did it .

Go to Petsmart and buy Reptile Litter and it is made of same stuff, but cheaper...I use it works great, also a dryer sheet and your brass is clean and shining......

Go to industrial supply, 50lbs cheapest.

Yeah you can get walnut blasting media much cheaper if you do high volumes. Personally I switched to wet pin tumbling and haven’t looked back.

Nice video… thanks for sharing, Who lives in the house at the end of your shooting range? Don’t they mind bullets whizzing past their house? I was uneasy just watching you shoot with that house so close by.

The house was abandoned and about to be torn down. Nothing was in there except for a few snakes.

i prefer the vibration thing :)

Here's my real current pricing. I got Starline brass for .26, powder is about .04, bullets are .10 but primers are .10 which equals .50 for the 1st round and .24 for the 2nd. But 45 Colt is $1.00 or more right now! So the savings are $50 on the 1st 100 and $76 per 100 after that and that pays for the reloading equipment very quickly. Also you don't feel as bad if you miss! Oh, the New Ruger Vaquero was $1000....Ouch!

Prices are crazy lately. Used to be buying primers by multiple 5,000 sleeves could really get costs down. Casting bullets helps too, but obtaining lead at a reasonable price has also become more difficult.

Cuz I have a conversion kit so it can't exceed 1,000 feet per second
