How did he make the reloading block feed adapter?

That's quick?

That's what I do, except I clean with stainless, use a giraud, and lube brass in a ziplock with lanolin/alcohol.

...not super quick...
 
Re: Tricks for reloading 223 quick

the reloading block feeder would have used the case feeder from the press i think, and what was the sock the brass out of the press went through about?

good overview of the process!
 
Re: Tricks for reloading 223 quick

I have to seriously question the concentricity gauge at the end. He is checking concentricity right at the case mouth. He may as well be checking the concentricity of his cases, not the loaded round.

The loading block filler was just a flexible tube attached to the case feeder fir sure.

The sock was slowing cartridges down, so they wouldn't fall so far, potentially damaging them.

No, he was holding them upside-down, against the vibrator to ensure all media would be dislodged and fall out.

I think the secret is in watching t.v. on your smart phone while you reload!

I hope he doesn't check all of them for run out. Ouch

For my shooting, I'm sure it is more than good enough, but for serious match? </div></div>

What wasn't up to "match" snuff?

Thanks, that makes sense.
 
Re: Tricks for reloading 223 quick

Slick set up.

IMO the time it take to prep the military surplus is not worth the time and effort unless you are shooting 1000's of rounds.

I had a dillon super swage 600 and sold it...YMMV
 
Re: Tricks for reloading 223 quick

I have a new 650 with case feed, and I can tell you one thing. It's fucking bad ass for 223, not so much for 9mm. Gotta find a fix for it spilling a little powder on the down stroke(when it's finishing indexing). It's a freegin monster, now I just have to increase my brass stockpile and also my polishing capacity (the standard size stainless media tumbler is REALLY small when you have a big press lol)
