My re-loadin Vid's

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 the WW of the clips and all the junk and end up with these. Then I use lee pro melting pot. This is my set up.

Then we have to make the bullets, so here is how I do that part, we end up with these.

Then we have to resize em. (Had to put this one in too)

Then we have to flare the case mouth and load the powder.

Then, all that is left is to seat the bullets in and were ready to go and try em out.

This one shows how easy it is to de-prim the spent brass.

Now we come to cleanin the brass. On this one I talk to much,

This is the end of the cleanin part.

Now we come to the primin 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.

From the "I'll finish it tomorrow Ranc, Good

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! (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. (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.
