That was a very well made video. Thanks for posting it!

I too use a Lee 4 hole turret press for reloading 9mm, 223, and recently 45 ACP. If I could recommend anything to you, it would be to look into the Lee Pro Auto Disk powder dispenser. For reloading the kind of loads that you showed in your video, you could really crank them out with one of those auto disk kits. Install one of the auto disk kits, and add the turret rod back in so the press rotates for you, and there is also way less chance that you could get a double charge, or sqibb round (from forgetting to dump powder), or forgetting to index the next die.

Also, since you were reloading plinking rounds, the auto disk is plenty accurate, and will keep you within .1 grains per drop.

I also like lessening the handling of my rounds, to increase loading efficiency.

Again, great video. Well done editing as well. Rep inbound!

Keep up the good work, and stay safe!

i actually have the pro autodisk, i just wanted to take it easy initially so i dont screw anything up. i definitely plan on ramping up production as i get more comfortable with what im doing.

thanks for checking out the video man!

Nice video.. I need to watch it with sound when I get home from work. But enjoyed seeing a different type of loader. I have the Dillon RL550b and just started reloading about a month ago.. 45acp.

Why are you against lead bullets? buying the 100 round WWB from walmart it was about 175$ per 500.. it cost me about 100 for 500 jacketed bullets and 1000 cci primers. For 1000 lead bullets and 1000 primers, it cost me 100$.. I am rounding off the numbers, but you can see the savings. The unjacketed stuff is almost half the cost. I haven't really factored in the brass or powder..


It is addictive though. I think I goto the range to empty brass so I can reload, LoL..

That's tag line worthy right there!

Excellent video!

Awesome video as usual man.

Question... Seems like reloading takes a lot of time and effort.

Are the cost savings really worth it?

Not worried about the ability to stay self sufficient

i just dont want to be exposed to lead more than i have to. i also dont like my guns having too much lead through them. i think its just a matter of preference

thanks brother. it does take some time, there are faster/more efficient ways to do it than what i showed here, but being that im newer to reloading i decided to take it easy. the cost savings vs time/effort debating is something only you can really answer. i shoot some really expensive calibers, such as .357mag, 44mag, and 50ae so the cost savings with those calibers alone makes it worth it for me.

Excellent video!

thank you!
