- In this video, I'll take you through the basic reloading process and show you what I do and share some of my thoughts for the .45 ACP. Enjoy! This is a fairly lengthy video, so grab some popcorn! I made this video for people considering the adventure of reloading and I think it will be interesting to them...
Here's a list of some of the equipment that I used in this video:
Lee Reloader Single Stage Press
Lee autoprime tool
Lee autoprime shellholder set
Lee .45ACP dies
Rcbs casemouth brush
Dillon DCL case lube
Dillon case length gage
Rcbs shellholder
Lee trimmer and lock stud
Lyman Universal Trimmer
L.E. Wilson primer pocket tool
Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Electronic Powder Scale
Lee funnel
Home Depot digital calipers...
This is the only channel I send people to for reloading. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise Jits
Thank you! That means a lot to me. :-)
I have wanted to learn to reload but have no experts close by to draw experience from. Your video has taken the “ mystery” out of the general process and I feel confident in that I can do this. Thank you for the well made video...
i feel like I just took a course in realoading, your vids are very informative thank you
I'am a very old loader. Started about 1957. Great presentation. I learned some new things. Many thanks.
Wow! My mother was born in 57'... I'm humbled! Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel!
lol, the beginning is exactly what I do at my club... the best is when I see someone shooting a caliber I want, and they leave a nice fresh pile. Music to my eyes!
Thank you! The rockchucker is a great press. I love lee dies too! Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel! Have a great day! :)
Thanks for the video. Very careful, methodical, and complete. Three years old and still lots of folks watching.
+SouthernMan thank you!
I am just getting into this hobby. My father in law is a walking encyclopedia on this stuff. Way back when we first met we were in his wood shop and I saw six 5 gallon buckets overflowing of tire weights. That's when I learned about all this. Can't "weight" to get involved. He has dies for about 12 or so different calibers. Thanks for the vids!
My favorite dies are my Hornady dies but being I do not want to replace my Lee and rcbs dies since I already have them, I bought a 6 pack of Hornady lock rings to replace the rings that came on my Lee and rcbs dies and now I don't have to adjust my dies every time I switch them.
$20 had saved me a ton of time of readjusting my dies.
Good videos!
Thanks for this video! You are the reason I got into reloading in 2013 and I’m sitting in my garage reloading 45ACP listening to the video once again 7 years later.
There’s 4 pistol bays side by side at my outdoor range. I used to love it when people would pull up and shoot for 20-30 mins and leave. I would walk over there once they left, and pickup all the .45 brass they left.
It’s crazy. You’re leaving money on the ground
Awesome step by step tutorial!!! ... every beginner should watch this video before any other. Thank you!
I fall asleep to the popping sound when depriming. Very calming
Huge thank you for this video as well as all your other loading videos. This week I loaded my first batch of 45 acp Thank you!!
Rock on!
Buddy, I really like how you explain all the little details of your work! You don't assume the viewers know everything and you give reasons why you do or don't do something, instead of just blowing thru the process just to get to the end result. I'm just a few pieces of equipment away from reloading myself, and your .45ACP and 30-30 videos are going to be a tremendous help (those are the 2 calibers I'll be loading 1st) when I'm ready to rock & roll! Thank you!
I've only used the old style Lee Loader for my loading. Seriously considered getting a press like this. Nicely done, well presented.
I wish schools would teach math and science the way this guy teaches reloading.
gvic vic Thank you
I'm watching your video 9 years later I just have to say you are an inspiration man you should keep teaching reloading your a good teacher I agree with you about factorie ammo I like that like c press too I use for all kinds of things
Thank you, Blessings from Arizona!
I've watched your casting video too and now feel some confidence that I may be able cast and reload without injuring myself. I'm 77 so can spend time being patient;-) Thanks for the good work.
I love hunting for brass. It's like finding money. Keep up the great videos!
I thoroughly enjoyed your video/tips....I have 1000 .45 ACP already primed, now I need to do the flare, powder, seat, and crimp....scary when you never have done it before...and it's for a friend/MM Brother of mine! I'll get it right, now that I've seen your video and Thank You for serving our Country!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It really cleared things up for me. Now when I read the instructions again I'll know exactly what they're talking about. Really nice video.
I'm glad you liked it thank you so much for taking the time and telling me that you enjoyed my work makes me feel good have a beautiful day
Thanks for the video! I am just getting familiar with the reloading process and have found your videos very informative! And I hope you'll forgive me for being pedantic enough to point out that with the case lube, the alcohol is not a propellant. It's a dispersant. It makes the oil thin enough to be sprayed through the nozzle of the bottle, and allows the oil to flow a little more freely so that it coats the brass before the alcohol evaporates! 🤘🙏🏼
The range we use requires that we pick up our brass. I must have a couple of thousand rounds in two of those five gallon buckets. Tried to sell them on the marketplace and ebay but no takers. So now I know what to do with 'em. My better half will be upset with the initial expense of the reloading hardware but will be delighted at at the savings over box ammo. Several years ago I was reloading 12 gauge but sold those as it got to be a chore to shoot skeet. .45 is is ever so much more precise and she has a blast shooting her GI 1911. Am going to show her this video and maybe get two of these presses so she can do the resizing while I do the expanding. Now that we are both retired, this will be a great couple bonding time. Along with the range and wild shooting. Thanks ever so much for this multifaceted video!
My first batch of 45 acp worked well. Totally inspired by you and your explanation made me confident with my technique. Much appreciated.
Tianyao Lu Sweet! That's awesome thank you for the kind words and support glad I could help out
JIUJITSU2000 You are very welcome. We should thank you for your hard work and contribute wot the reloading community.
Thank you for the kind words and for supporting my channel. That's cool that you are also into reloading. It's a very fun hobby. Have a great day! :)
Always enjoy your vids as a new reloader yours are the best explained for me. Thanks Again for all the help
You're absolutely welcome my friend and Thank you!
I just finished watching your reloading guides(melting lead to ingots, casting the bullets and reloading them). Thank you so much for explaining every little detail of the procedure. Although I do not know if I will ever get as far as casting my own bullets, I learned so much that I feel like you gave me great head start into reloading. Again, I thank you so much for these videos.
hey man, absolutely great video. My buddy is getting into reloading and he's planning on having me over a lot to help him while we watch TV. You explained everything so simply and slowly, and it was very easy for me to follow. Thanks!
Thanks for this video, my wife and I shoot 300-500 rounds a week, and reloading seems to be the next logical step. This video has a lot of great information that I will reference in the future when I get my press.
thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I really appreciate the detailed explanations, it's much easier to learn when you're taught how and why rather than just a how to.
I could watch you teach this subject all day long! The information is taught in a manner which is accurate and easy to use. Great way to learn how to do this for levels of experience.
Thank you!
Thank you for this video, I've watched it countless times!!
Excellent step by step video, I reloaded my first 50 .45 acp cartridges watching this video. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Thank you! That's awesome!
Watched the whole series from extracting lead to final bullets. A ton of knowledge, thank you.
Alos realized how much work that is to reload bullets. I guess one really needs to like this.
Thank you for the kind words and also for the support you give my channel. I also appreciate the info on the dust. I had no idea! have a good night. :)
I always wondered how bullets were made, you sir just showed me a series of videos from scratch. Nicely done!!!
sir you have one of the best how to vids thank you for taking the time to make them
Thank you for the video. The best I have seen, very clear and to the point.
dude!! all ya had to buy was the press,lube,primers,powder and you get as many bullets as you want!- beyond brilliant
I've watched quite a few videos and this was the best step by step explanation. I think I'm ready to start now. Thank you!
Really liked this video! Very informative. Gonna help me get started reloading 45 ACP
Thanks for posting !
Thank you for the video. It's straight forward and shows how easy it is to start.
You're absolutely welcome and thank you for stopping by!
Hello! Alot of people use Hornady one shot cleaner to clean them. I took mine apart and washed it in the sink with some dish soap. It worked great for me and I've never had a problem. Thanks for the support! Have a great day! :)
Sweet! Thanks for the support and kind words. Have a good day! :)
I don't even own a gun but I feel like a pro after watching all your videos lol
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and the support to my channel. Have a great day! :)
Second video I have watched you reloading and like the first one, very informative. Watched the 9mm and now the 45 ACP, the 2 rounds I shoot on handguns. Thanks
Thank you for the kind words and the support you give my channel! Have a good evening! :)
We started with the Lee hand press, full length sizing was not fun with 30-06. Finally upgraded to a Lee Challenger. Great video
Thank you
Appreciate the education on the reloading process & sharing some personal insight.
lots of good ways to skin the reloading cat, and this vid demonstrates one good way. great stuff for a reloading newbie to ponder.
Enjoyed this 45acp reload vid. Got me a new Rock Island 1911 FS Ai in 45acp. 4 die set on hand along wirh Power Pistol powder. My order of 45 bullets should be here tue morn. 150 brass cleaned and primed, ready for bullets. This will be my first 45acp reloads. my receipe is: 230 gr fmj/berry's, 6.5 gr power pistol for around 850 fps. Can't hardly wait to load and shoot.
Dude you have great videos. Super easy to follow and understand.
Great video! Thanks for the helpful hints throughout the video. I'm all ready to give this a shot...No pun intended!
Very down to earth explanation of every process.... easy to follow and understand....thanks
Great video. Very informative and easy to follow..
Thanks!
Sorry JJ. I tought it was goig to be another one of those stupid videos. Turns out you are a pro. Every minute spent watching was well worth it. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the support to my channel and the kind words! On the 30-30 I have one recommendation, make sure you trim your brass. The 30-30 brass is slightly thinner than other brass and it stretches a little more. Have fun! :)
Nice vid man. I have been reloading for a couple of years now and just stumbled on your vid as I search for reloading vids every now and then to get new ideas, see how other people reload and for research in general. Well made video and great explanations for a beginner/intermediate re-loader. Keep it up!
Thank you for you expertise -very nice video for a person like me that is just getting started with reloading. Thanks for sharing , I really enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Great video! I've watched it several times and used it to teach others .
+JON Gergeceff Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by and showing your support. Have a beautiful evening!
Awesome video.. You explained it well, im a dummy, and this is what I needed.. Slowly step by step... All vids should use your methods....THX
This was an amazing video, I learned a lot! Thank you!
Walter Shmitty Thank you!
Thank you. I'd reccomend trimming the brass. If that's not the problem, make sure that the crimp is good. Have a good day! :)
Your video gave me the courage to roll my own .45 acp. Thanks! I've never looked back since. Next stop are .308 and .223 reloads.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and share your kind words as well as there support you give my channel. Have a beautiful day!
very well done vedio. Easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You have done a very good job very thorough. It will be very hard to top your work. Thank you!!
Absolutely brilliant video, exactly the info I needed. Explained well, and the steps are very clearly shown. Well done.
Thank you! Have an awesome day!!
It’s near the end of 2020, I discovered your channel today, and have watched three of your reloading videos(9mm, 7mm, and this one). I bought a reloading setup from a guy who is retiring, and can not wait to get into reloading some of this stuff
Thank you! I do hunt a lot of brass! I have tons! Thank you for the comment and support you give my channel. Have a good evening! :0
Love this video! I will be reloading my first batch of freedom pills soon and it will be .45ACP for my 1911. Also getting into bullet casting and Hi-Tek coating. You are a great teacher and I appreciate your contribution to reloading.
I think you're exactly right about seating debpth. I do the same thing. My .45 feed better than ever shorter. Have a good evening! :)
Great video bro! Lots of useful information here!!😁
Very informative video. I liked the detail that was given and the close-up pictures.
+Clayton Hay thank you so much for the very kind words and positive support that you give my channel
I just got my Frankford Arsenal tumbler kit in and set up, its great, buy man, that Lyman tumbler you have is BEAST!!
Yes, very nice job on how to do basic reloading. The cases with small primer pockets can cause you a problem when priming if mixed in with mostly large pockets, I had a few Federal small primer cases in with my mostly large pocket cases and it stops the whole process. So like the guy said inspect the cases and weed out the small pockets. When you get enough small pockets load them, they'll shoot the same as the large.
Great job like always. I've seen your other videos on 223, 3006 and now this. All equally great. Very informative. keep them coming. great job....
Excellent video. Thank you for posting.
This takes me back 20 yrs when my dad would set me and my brother up on the reloader and we'd load all night long.
I see my wallet opening up some. It will save me some money in the long run. Your thorough in your explanations. I'm glad I found your videos.
thank you!
Received a Lee Anniversary Reloading Kit for Christmas this year. Will begin reloading 45 ACP and this video was exceptionally well thought out, clear, and nicely paced. Good work! Thanks and have a great New Year.
I'm considering reloading 30-30, good to know I don't need all the bells and whistles to get started.Thanks for an informative video.
Thank you
Great video. I'm getting my Lyman T-Mag II mounted soon and I''ll crank out some 327 Fed Mag. I'm much more ready to go after watching your videos. Thanks.
You can use that powder for jackated 180, 200, and 230 grain .45acp loads. You can also use it for 155, 170, 185, 200, and 230 lead cast .45 acp bullets. I found the data on their website. I hope this was helpful. have a good evening! :)
Thank you! I think you made a great decision in starting on a single stage press. The learning curve is much easier I think. I'm working on a 9mm video on the single stage as we speak. Have a great day! :)
Another great video 👍👍
if i had tools like this ill never buy ammo, this would be my everyday hobby
+fatsackcat True!
Getting brass the old way. Love it.
You talk like John Malkovic, your video is therapeutic.
Time to reload LOL
I want to start reloading and found your video to be excellent.
Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel! Have a beautiful day!
I got my 300 grain,.458, 45/70 rcbs 2 cavity and poured first good projectile today hand pour cast.great veido thank you,great help
+Rob Tolley Sweet! Thank you!!

Thank you!
Congrts from Brazil, you'r escellent teacher, thank you.
Another great video, I like how you go through and demonstrate each step with
the dies and explain how the dies work.
I'll be reloading some 45 acp with 230 grain bullet with 3.9 grain of Red dot
this weekend.
Thanks
thank you!!
Great videos! Very knowledgeable and very detailed. Perfect for someone who's just getting into reloading. Looking forward to more videos.
This is a great video. And I have reloaded almost 300 rds now.
Excellent Video! I plan on reloading in the future and now have an idea of all the steps involved.
Cool! Have fun!!
I started watching your videos prior to me starting reloading.... I really enjoy how in detail you go from absolute start to finish. I started reloading with .223 and am now starting .45 acp...I don't reload very often so I always watch your videos as a refresher. Awesome instructional videos, keep them coming...... I also have a 45/70 to reload for, the hornady 325gr ftx..... would like to see ya do a video on that if the opportunity arrises...
Thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel. The 45-70 is one of my favorites to reload so its definitely in the future as a video idea! I'm in the process of moving right now so it may take some time until I get to filming that one though. Please stay patient and it will come! Have a beautiful day! :-)
