My re-loadin Vid's

[hobbles]

Hi all. I thought I would post a few vid's on reloadin just in case we have any body here either doin it or thinkin bout gettin into it, so here goes,,

I start by cleanin (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/castin/meltin.jpg) the WW of the clips and all the junk and end up with these (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/castin/1st-batch.jpg). Then I use lee pro melting pot (http://www.leeprecision.com/cgi/catalog/browse.cgi?1242087733.3422=/html/catalog/melters.html). This is my set up (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/castin/casting.jpg).

Then we have to make the bullets, so here (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=water-drop.flv) is how I do that part, we end up with these. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/bullets-a.jpg)

Then we have to resize (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=reloadin-2.flv) em. (Had to put this (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=reloadin-2a.flv) one in too)

Then we have to flare the case mouth and load the powder (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=reloadin-3.flv).

Then, all that is left is to seat (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=reloadin-4.flv) the bullets in and were ready to go and try em out (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/C9/jwmarshpractice2.jpg).

This one shows how easy it is to de-prim (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=de-primin.flv) the spent brass.

Now we come to cleanin the brass (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=cleaninem.flv). On this one I talk to much,

This is the end of the cleanin (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=cleaninem-2.flv) part.

Now we come to the primin (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/Reloadin/?action=view&current=primin.flv) part. And I guess that's it for re-loadin.

Hope this helps some one as it was fun for the lil Wife and me to make.

Good vids & pics.....I have only one (minor) criticism: I would STRONGLY suggests wearing both gloves, as well as a long sleeve shirt while casting, esp. for a beginner. Molten lead is hot, even when it splatters & hardens before hitting bare flesh!:eek: (taken from personal experience, and I have the little white scars to prove it!)

Mornin Mr. 16 gauge ,
Thanks for the advice and I sure a beginner should wear all that you suggest. I even had a guy mention that I was bearefoot while reloadin in my shop. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/hobbles/icons/cg_shrug-1.gif (not pourin lead now) I've been workin with lead for a while now and am comfortable with the way I do it. I guess at 62 years old I am set in my ways.

Great pics, thanks for posting!

Is that a Griswold Mfg. corn mold I see? Made long ago in my home town of Erie, PA? Hang onto that sucker, those are worth some coin!

Afternoon Duffy,
I'm not sure who's it's made by, can't find a name on it. The Mennonites round here still use em for bakin and it does make for a good ingot mold.
