John's Hand Loading
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2019
John has been shooting since he was a kid and is now a middle aged man. He likes shooting rifles and handguns, reloading, bullet casting and the outdoors. He prefers to call reloading ammunition cartridges “Hand Loading” because it sounds more elegant and sophisticated.
Being an “Amateur Ballistic Engineer” he realizes reloading and hand loading are essentially the same but likes to think of “Hand Loading” as being done carefully with precision and “Reloading” more about cranking out ammo. He is on a quest to have an intimate knowledge of all things related to metallic cartridge loading.
He believes in God, freedom and a good sense of humor.

Ruger Mark IV One Button Takedown
In this video I show you the ease of taking the frame assembly and barrel apart with the "one button takedown" feature of the Ruger mark IV pistol. Several times I refer to the grip frame as a receiver, I did not want to re do the video or audio but did realize the mistake. The barrel/receiver assembly is the top part that tilts off the frame. I have not made a perfect video yet, I still keep trying though. Make today wonderful!

Ruger Mark IV 22/45 First Shots
มุมมอง 1376 หลายเดือนก่อน
I went out in the snow (27 degrees Fahrenheit, flurries while filming) to test my new Ruger Mark IV 22/45. A wonderful little pistol I can't wait to shoot again. I tested three different .22 long rifle ammunitions and they all worked fine. I had one misfire (common with .22 rimfire ammo) and actually reloaded it and it fired the second time through.

First Time Using Evapo Rust
มุมมอง 195ปีที่แล้ว
In this video I use Evapo Rust rust remover for the first time. I was given some reloading tools recently and this rusty case gauge was in the mix. I had no idea what caliber it was before cleaning off the rust, because I could not read it. You can see the results achieved after soaking in Evapo Rust for approximately 20 hours.

Inexpensive Brass Cleaning Short Version
มุมมอง 1.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This video shows how I hand tumble and clean brass cases for reloading. I use lemon juice, dawn soap and hot water. It is easy, inexpensive and it works well. I made a video years ago showing the same process, but that video was very long and drawn out and also had loud music that some people did not like. I made this short (relatively) version of the process as an update.
Sizing bullets & seating gas checks with Lee bullet sizing die

Beautiful Colt 1911 National Match Pistol
มุมมอง 8562 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick look at a beautiful Colt 1911 National Match pistol. The man who owns it thinks it is a 1963 National Match Colt 1911 based on the serial number. The top of the slide and the rear sight are different than the examples I can find pictures of on line. It is a beautiful pistol and tight as a bank vault. I am happy to show it here and honored that I was able to work on it and clean ...

Ruger Wrangler 600 Round Follow Up Review
I like this clip because it does justice to the way the Mosin Carbines ACTUALLY sound in real life. (Owner of a 1943 Izhevsk M38 , here in Ireland).
I know an old video, but what fps do you push them to since both gas checked and powder coated?
It depends on the load really. They are used for a couple different loads. I don't have the numbers in front of me. I think the fastest I ever pushed them was around 1500 fps - in a .308 Winchester rifle.
cool hwhip.
I ordered this exact model and did a few upgrades. I replaced the factory black barrel bushing with a polished stainless steel extra thick flange barrel bushing with a matching extended recoil spring plug. The front of the gun looks extra sharp with the upgraded parts. A new pair of double diamond black G10 grips with stainless steel screws completed the upgrades. With a new Wilson Combat magazine, the pistol looks sharp.
Great video, very useful.
I think you supposed to turn counter clockwise
Can you stack 2 or 3 cases, measure them and then divide by number of cases in the stack?
It would be helpful for viewers to eliminate shooting a different caliber/rifle on the same target.
Excellent, thank you very much. Now I have confidence in cleaning my hand me down 9422M.
Glad to help.
Nice job 💪🏽👍🏼 I went a little to heavy with the lemon juice when i did this ; the brass had a pink patina when they dried out I didn’t bother cleaning up my next batch just reloaded as is with my small lee loader ; they all went bang 😂

Got about 5K to clean so this will help.
john where can I get that cool swing arm for your powder measure? I can't find it anywhere.
They used to be made by "Treetopflier" he is a guy on TH-cam. I don't think he makes them anymore. I have seen similar things made by others. th-cam.com/video/_uc3NHEeSLM/w-d-xo.html
@@johnshandloading7907 once again thanks for the seemingly never ending flow of quality information. big fan.
@@Ruteger100 I appreciate that. I have been busy with other stuff recently but hope to get a few things filmed and uploaded in the next few months. Thank you for watching and commenting.
All revolvers get build up around the forcing cone area
On your gun is the word "Turkey" misspelled?
Grandfather is about to give me 2 never fired 9422 one is the trapper and one belonged to my dad he’s had them for over 30 years. Thanks for the video
That is really nice. Congratulations.
Lee mentions "dwell time", apparently the time you keep the collet engaged, presumably to allow the brass neck to settle in for some time. Ever hear of that?
I think a couple second is all it takes. There is a slight amount of spring back after you remove the case form the die. Until the brass gets brittle and then should be annealed.
@@johnshandloading7907 Thanks John!
Very Nice, add a cheap $2 colander would speed it up. Any budget level Reloader can do this, trade time for $$.
Are all of the 5.56 Lake City rounds Berdan primed? Some of them? None of them? I have a buddy that lives an hour away from me and he called me last night and asked if I wanted a 5 gallon bucket full of once fired Lake City brass and I told him that I *Think* that I heard that all military brass was Berdan primed *OR* the primer was crimped in the case but if they are Berdan primed then I can't use them for anything but if the primers are crimped in then I could possibly use them but may have to buy a special die or some type of extra tool to get the primer out and another tool to undo, or straighten out the crimped primer and pocket? Would this Lee Universal Decapping Die take the primers out of a crimped primer pocket IF the military brass has a crimped primer and not a Berdan primer pocket? If this Lee decapping die won't work on a crimped primer pocket what tools/dies should I get to deal with a crimped primer pocket? Sorry for all of the dumb, beginner questions but I was diagnosed with tongue/throat/neck cancer on June 6th 2023 and went through 8 weeks of radiation and chemo which screwed my thyroid and kidneys all up and I need something to do that isn't strenuous and a 5 gallon bucket of free brass should be pretty easy to handle in my condition and at the same time keeping me occupied and not sitting around thinking about the worst case scenario concerning if my cancer treatment worked or not Thank you
Oh my. This is painfully slow and manual and it doesn't need to be. Get an Autodisk Pro and the Safety Prime system.
will it get you deprimer / sizer die drirty deprimeing befor you wash your brass or is that not a concern ....good vid...
I use a dedicated de priming die so no.
small primers ae bit harder to set but it works like a charm. Fast enough and not expensive.
Thanks for the video, an thanks to those who replied because yall helped me, I did a polish job an guess I pushed the connector in with to much force resulting in a very hard trigger pull, I bent the connector out a little an now I'm back to a 5 1/2 to 5 pd trigger pull, so much better
what connector????
If you have enough natural oil on your fingers to make a primer inert, you need to see a dermatologist ASAP.
I agree. 😆
Like you I love fixing and rebuilding firearms! The most challenging build I’ve EVER done was the 1911! Every single part had to be hand fit, filed and polished to perfection! But it was worth it!
It is very satisfying. Great shooting pistols too.
Looks like crap, piss poor job. Don't.make any more worthless videos.
I took the Lee Lube and mixed two teaspoons in a 6 oz spray bottle with 91 percent alcohol. After mixing it up thoroughly and shaking it up, I made it into a spray. Works very well. Also, did the same to the RCBS-2 lube into spray. Both worked but the Lee I can use inside the case necks. I'm pretty stocked on Lee Lube for awhile now.
I got one a few months ago. Before I ever shot it the cylinder got the same kind of wear just turning it because it rubbed the loading gate. I emailed Ruger and they said they'd fix it but I decided it's not worth the trouble for me or them. I luckily got a pretty darn accurate one and it's very fun to shoot! You really can't beat them for the money.
Nice unboxing video! I heard that these had a picatinny rail in the box?
Mine did not have a picatinny rail in the box. Maybe certain models do.
What's the purpose of the sping? My ak and sks have a similar rear sight without the sping.
It maintains pressure on the site and allows the selector to be flipped up and down.. I am not sure about all the particulars.
@@johnshandloading7907 thanks, so what happens if the sping is missing or damaged? Does it need to be replaced?
@@studentdrake if it was damaged or missing it would not function correctly without it.
@@johnshandloading7907 thanks
Great video tutorial! Very descriptive. What brand of cleaning rod are you using if I may ask? I am tired of these cheap screw together rods that disappoint.
It is a Dewey one piece rod. They are fantastic. I get the smaller diameter (.17 I think) they recommend it on their website. Works great. Worth the price.
@@johnshandloading7907 Thanks! I will look them up
Great illustration. Thanks…
This video sucks as hard as the creator....if you're not going to show reassembly, don't put it in the title....loser.
Thanks I learned a lot
I am glad it was helpful. Thank you for letting me know.
@@johnshandloading7907 do you have videos of you doing the casting?
@@mikemuhlbach2951 I had one once and youtube took it down. They don't allow them. If you look at the reloaders network website there should be some videos there. My one that was taken down here is listed under my page at the reloaders network.
Thank you so much, I was wondering why I couldn't put it back together. Now I know you have to cock the hammer.
Awesome. Glad this helped you.
John, you wouldn't be on a certain other site would you ?
My wife also says you can never use to much lube ! 😁
I was going to do all this with my inheritated model 12. But i just soaked it in clp for 3 days then took it aprat used a nylon/brass brush, rags and compressed air. Seems to work extrmely smooth now. Need to go test(slam) fire it 😎
Mine was rough. I hope yours works well for you.
Nice video on this poorly named Lee die. It should be called the "Rifle flaring die" or just "Flaring die" IMHO. A expanding die to me, is The Lyman "M" die. Its patent appears to have run out after decades. Redding now has it as well on their NexGen and other dies. Lee has even introduced it in their new powder thru expander "M" style plugs in their powder thru expander dies. So Now we have more, and better options for a actual "expander die" for straight walled cases and pistol cases. To me a "expander die" goes all the way into a pistol case and also flares the mouth for cast bullet reloaders. The "M" style, 2 step Plug actually enlarges/ sizes the brass all the way thru where the bullet ends up after being pressed into place. This Lee die you are showing here for rifle cases, just flares the case mouth and really should be called a "flaring die." IMHO The "Expanding" has actually already been done by the center expander plug on your sizing die, on all rifle case die sets. I never will understand Why Lee misnamed that die.
Great thank you. I've been reloading.44 magnum with carbide dies, so the whole lubricant thing is new to me.
Remove the upper from the lower excessively this will solve the problem
Just ordered the non railed stainless 5" version today! It's a beautiful gun for the price!
You dont know how much you relieved my worry about taking my 1911 completely apart. I can take the slide out no problem but i have a hammer and trigger coming and wanted to see if there was anything that i was going to have to worry about while taking it apart but other then the pins with the spring for the safety i believe i will be a ok to do this but i will be watching as i go so i don't mess it up. Thank you for helping out with this video.
Got a 1943 Remington Rand recently and I'm a little hesitant to fully disassemble that beauty as I haven't worked on a 1911 yet. However, after watching this video, I'm more comfortable with the idea of actually doing it. So, thanks for uploading this. 🤝🏻👍🏻
Horrible work...to much info for suck a simple job and the sight is facing the ground...gave some ideas on putting my sight but i thimk i can do so muck better.
I hope you can do better. The sight works fine on this rifle as shown. Was done simply to test an idea and it worked. There are many BETTER ways to accomplish this, but I used what I had and it worked. Have a great day. good luck on your next project.
Fine presentation and explanations! I'll be purchasing my first 1911 in April. It was nice to see your demo and explanations. Oh, nice work on you sear and grip safety. Thank you! I'm in the making to become a 1911 guy.
Wow,that is much simpler than the older version of the 22-45 . With my older oneI took more time to reassemble the pistol than it did to clean it.thank,s for the vidio.
It is a great feature and makes it so easy to clean and reassemble. Awesome pistol, I love it.
Are you still making these stands
I need one of those powder stands
