when I was learning how to do this my resizing die was around 1/16th inch to high. The round wouldn't chamber. I had to go and take apart 500 rounds. A case gauge is a must. This video is gold!

This is by far my favorite 300 Blackout reloading video. Straight forward and no, "You gotta buy this crazy expensive gadget that we just happen to have in stock." Thanks, Eddy.

Eddy this video is just exactly what I was looking for. I am gearing up to load 300 blackout for the first time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, great video. it's been 2 weeks since I posted the first half of the comment: I reloaded just over 100 of the blackout rounds and test fired a few...thanks for your great videos, they really helped.

Very good 👍 I like the detail and the explanation of everything. Talking slow and thoroughly. Very well done sir! Thank you

One of the best techniques videos I have watched on 300 blackout case development!

Awesome video! Better then all the other 300 beginner videos. No confusion and I understood exactly how and why everything works.

I'm just getting into 300 blackout and this video has helped me out a lot. I have a ton of used 223 brass with dents near the shoulder from ejecting out of some AR's, and this method will bring new life to formally unusable brass. Thank you for sharing your methods with us.

Excellent video. Will be diving into this when my next suppressor clears.

Great info Eddy. I’ve watch quit a few of your vids. I’ve been reloading for 20 yrs on the same Dillon 550. Now I’m doin 300 BO on it and I’m trimming and sizing all in same pull from Dillon trimming and sizing die. What a time saver. It does work well. I respect all u do and how u do it. But I’ve often wondered why no Dillon equipment. ...thanks for the info. And god bless Texas ...

Great video Eddy! I'm gonna be trying to load some 300 real soon. Thanks a million,

Your shop is awesome!

to Brian Cowan, The expander that I use is made by lee. It's called a universial case expander. It comes with two expanders. one is smaller for lower calibers and one large expander for the larger calibers. It expands the case mouth as much as you want. I expand my case just enough for the bullet to just start into the case to eliminate the case from shaving the lead or jacket off the projectile. Brian if I am not explaning this well, let me know and I will try another way with pics. Eddy

I had issues with foreign brass, ppu, s&b because of the thickness of the case below the neck. I now use only american brass, LC, remington is the perfect case wall thickness for converting. .011 to .012 is whats needed. Thanks for the video.

I guess I'm a bit late watching this video... but what great explanation and instruction.

I just started loading 300. Might be important to mention the wall thickness at the case mouth should never be thicker than 0.014. 0.013 or less is optimal. Might depend on your barrels chamber as some have tighter tolerances than others. You can either sort your brass to known good head stamps or just neck turn them all. A simple hand neck turner can be had for about $100 and as much as 300 ammo is these days it will pay for itself with the first 200 or so rounds. I have nor the time or patience to sit and check head stamps sometimes I can't even see so I just turn them all. You don't want to work the brass too much. I stay around 0.013 - 0.012. Also as you stated the neck OD should never exceed 0.334 after the bullet is seated. Don't solely depend on a case gauge. Use your calipers to measure. No need for a micrometer unless you're measuring for competition loads.I've had quite a few pieces of brass that were on the "bad" list and would get stuck in the chamber but once turned they were good to go. Great video!

Awesome video. What kind of bullets did you use?

Best 300 reloading video I found.👍🏾👍🏾. What is the name of the tool used at the end to measure to make sure it wasn't past 334?

Sir I have a question. I'm a new reader and I believe this to be a bit advanced for me. But wouldn't a bit of annealing post second(300 black out) resizing be a good idea? Especially if running fire 223 brass after a couple reloading sessions.

I know your video is older but I didn’t know if you said anything about swaging primer pockets on 556 brass or reaming out the pocket to get rid of the military crimp I know from experience it will smash the primer but I was lucky they didn’t go off

good stuff, getting the 300 reloads to chamber has been a problem

When did Winnie the pooh start reloading blackout lol. Kidding aside good info!

I'm a touch confused. OAL on this 100gr rnd is? Length of the case trimmed is 1 5/8" or 1.0625, or 1.3625. Factory ammo is at 1.355 So I'm getting lost. 2400 powder is 16.9gr I dropped to 15.3 but level is still near the neckdown part of the brass. Seems like a lot. I did a few neck downs by hand. Fun! Can you drop me a note, let me know your thoughts. I'm out of spring, tx.

Great video Eddy! I was wondering though, have you found that resizing the 223 to a 300 Blackout reduce the life of the case? From what I've seen normal 223 loaded and reloaded properly will usually be useable for about 5 reloads depending on the circumstances, is this reduced when you change those cases to the 300 Blackout because you're doing additional resizing and trimming?

@equuspallidus

Anneal the brass. You will get more than 5 reloads.

Safety first!

check your inside diameter of the case throats forming cases from another cases causes. build up of brass in throat a 308 inside reamer will help or outside case turning will solve problem been doing 300 whisper for years

just getting into 300 blk pardon my ignorance but I have to learn why not cut the case at the right length rather than cut deburgh then trim deburgh?

America 👌🏾

How long is the trimmed case. plus or minus thousands

I have reload 7TC decades, is the 300 any harder? (I use a power reamer to true casings, not a harbor freight chop saw)

Can someone explain why you'd check the length of the cartridge if you are just gonna cut it shorter?

remove the handle on your cutting device, screw standard nut on instead. then you could simply use a drill or impact driver to zip them down to size. just an idea?

Thanks for your video! Question from the 2 minute mark: The Closed Captioning says you sawed off at 1-5/8". Should that be 1-3/8"?

You might know by now but that "C" is used to indicate a "compressed" load. Meaning you will be seating the bullet directly onto the powder because the case will be full.

Why is it a good idea to resize the brass prior to cutting it to length? Thanks

@JamesS.254

4 жыл бұрын

When the brass is resized it is bending the brass to the desired shape, in doing this it will shorten the overall length of the case. So if you cut it to length before sizing it, the case will come out too short after sizing. Just remember once you remove the material you can't put it back. So you're better off being slightly longer because you can remove more material if needed. Hope this helps.

God bless Texas.....long live the republic....if things goes south this november....break away.

Just buy Hornady 190 gr Sub X and call it a day. It’s incredible and you won’t handload anything better. I’m an avid 300 BLK shooter, a handloader, and I don’t get paid by Hornady for any endorsements. By a box. You’ll see I’m right.

I belive at the end your talking about brass wall thickness, being able to use and resize foreign and some american brass will NOT work well or at all!. I use only lake city brass after cutting and sizing, I'm getting a constant wall thickness of around ten thousands, or a pinch less.. Iv'e seen some foreign brass at 12-13-14 thousands, and is way too thick to chamber or = go into Battery!.. So a .308 bullet at .308 + 0.10 + .010 for each wall = 0.328 thousands at your neck. you are correct at .333 + will start to be hard to chamber in most 300s or not at all.. Everyone should be checking their wall thickness at the neck right after forming, and chamfering inside and outside of thier cases..........

Eddy, I have three questions: 1. How did you check the length of the cartridge, if the cartridge is too long it won't go into battery? 2. Do .223 and .556 cases require a different powder charge if using the same brand of powder and grain bullet? 3. How many reloads do you get out of the .223 brass? I have tons of PMC .233 that I would like to cut down to 300 BLK. Nice video, but you need to be careful around that saw, I see you been cut at least two times recently before making this video.

If your shooting for accuracy competition you should develop loads for each, but for hunting and plinking you want see much difference, feet per second changes a little and might shoot a little high but not enough to worry about.

Is annealing unnecessary?
