- 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 .38 Special round. Enjoy! The .38 Special is one of my personal favorite rounds. 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 equitment that I used in this video:
Lee Reloader Single Stage Press
Lee autoprime tool
Lee autoprime shellholder set
RCBS .38 - .357 dies
Rcbs casemouth brush
Dillon DCL case lube
Dillon case length gage
Rcbs shellholder
Lee trimmer and lock stud
Lyman Universal Trimmer
Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Electronic Powder Scale
Lee funnel
Home Depot digital calipers...

Quirkification Thank you!
Question for you; I tumbled, dacapped and resized a bunch of 38 special cases.
More than half of them won't fit in my case length gauge, they were belled at the bottom of the case.
Should I toss them?
Thanks.
I don’t know if you will see this or not because this was made so long ago but thank you so much for this. I am just getting into reloading, yes a bad time to just be starting, but this goes into so much detail and you explained each step and how to do it. Thanks again.
This is the "training video" I used as a development tool to begin loading my own 38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds. The practices in this video apply to all calibers. I can't thank you enough for instilling the confidence that I needed to undertake this hobby. Thanks!!!
I'd like to complement you on your clear explanation and on your articulation. Everything was easy to understand.
I am also a reloader. As they say, there are more than a couple of ways to skin a goat sized cat.
If we're not learning, we're waisting time.
Thank you for taking your precious time to make this video.
Thank you so much!!
The strength of this video is the attention to detail that is provided for each step of the process. I've seen videos that skip over the detail. For example, the video shows every step in properly setting up the bullet seating die with crimping. Check the powder loads (measure and visual check). Nicely done. Thank you.
Thank you!
This is by far the most comprehensive and clear video I've seen on the subject. I'm just waiting for my dies to arrive and then I'll be ready to reload.
100% worth anyone's time to watch this video for novice or experienced shooters. You got a new subscriber 😎
Finally a good detailed reloading video, thanks brother!
Sweet! I'm flattered! Reloading is such a great hobby and the payoff is great! Always safety first. Thank you for the kind words. Have a good night! :)
Well Got brass in so dug in loading some .38 and 357 magnum using your video's. Outstanding.....with my laptop in the shop I'm able to watch, pause, re-watch steps I have question to. Love it...now I'm ready to load the 100 bullets I won in your contest!
You are a natural teacher. Very well done, thank you.
Last pistol cartridge (for now) I will be reloading. Thanks for the detail instruction like always.
I have been reloading shotshells for over 30 years and I've had all the equipment for reloading with a press for a year now. So after watching your video I figured it's time to try it. I also went to RCBS youtube site for set up on my press. But I wrote down step by step, every thing you said and how to adjust the dies. 100 successful .38 specials to spec without any problems. Thank You Very Much
Thank you for the kind words and supporting my channel! Good luck and double check your load data. Have a good day! :)
Best reloading video I've seen. Enjoyed watching it!
It cannot be more clear! A super instruction! Many thanks!
I love your long video's... Very detailed, very informative, overall 1st class content... Your demeanor is excellent.. Anytime I want to learn and watch hand loading video's I watch yours.. Thank You for your time and really Great video's. God Bless.
Just getting back into reloading and stumbled across your videos. Thanks for your patient instruction - very helpful and a SAFE, easy way to get going in this great hobby!
thank you! feel free to check out my channel. I have many great videos!!
I appreciate you taking the time to tell me you appreciate my work! Many people don't do that. I have many more good video's coming! Have a good evening! :)
You keep saying "not that big of a deal", but its that attention to detail that makes sure you wont blow off a finger :). Great vid.
you're 100% right about that! thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel. have a great evening! Merry Christmas!!
Excellent detail in a 38 minute video! Well done!
best reloading video ive seen yet
Thank you!
Best tutorial on .38 that I have seen on the web Well Done in terms of the detail given for each step!
I think you reloading series is by far the best out there. Attention to detail and never skip a thing. Super helpful and I think your videos are reloaders best learning sources.
Most straight forward reloading video i've seen so far. You speak well like a good teacher. I will be starting reloading very soon.
Speak well, he doesnt know when to say well or when to say good.
Thank you
I absolutely love your reloading videos. I have watched dozens of others and yours are by far the best instructional videos on youtube. Clear, concise and everything makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Thank you! There will be more to come!
You are the best! Thanks from Germany!!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I appreciate your comment and the support to my channel. Have a great evening! :)
Excellent walk through for a novice like me. Thanks .👍
this was presented as good as i have seen. thanks.
Incredible. Best video so far.
Very clear and concise info. Step by step for guys like me who are starting out in reloading. Aloha and mahalo!
+Maui Glide aloha! Thank you!
I usually trim every other load. Some brass and calibers stretch more than others so it's a good habit to measure them. Thanks and have a good day! :)
Thank you. You are greatly appreciated. I have learned a lot from your videos.
I saw this video you made and I must say. You have given a great many steps that are needed to understand why you must do certain steps, where and when to check these steps and issues that may arise while loading ammo. I understand more now than I ever have before about loading rounds. Thanks for the video. Great for beginners who want to start loading their own ammo.
thank you so much for the very kind words and support you give my channel. heads up, I'm having a 30k giveaway coming soon!!
You may already be aware, but according to the RCBS instructions insert, carbide dies no not require cases to be lubricated prior to resizing. I never use lube and have never had a problem. It's a huge time saver.
I see you are proud teat you are a veteran. But you are much more. Thank you for your videos. You are a great Man.
Thank you so much!
Sweet! Thank you for the kind words and the support you give my channel. Have a good day! :)
Best video I saw on reloading. very thorough
ein großartiges Video und eine wunderbar detaillierte Beschreibung der einzelnen Bearbeitungsschritte...
es hat mir unsagbar viel geholfen. vielen Dank dafür
Thank you for the kind words and support to my channel. I like going to the junkyard. Old car batteries have lead inside. Old cars have wheel weights. Tire shops sometimes sell them to me, but it seems like its getting harder to get them there because many are recycling these days and already have someone coming to get them. Some dental offices have the film backings from X-rays which are pure lead. Old diving weights. Thrift stores or Goodwill. I hope this was helpful. Have a good day! :)
Like your press set up and work area, I'm cramped for space, appreciate the mounting etc. Thanks again.
Wow! You're exactly right. I didn't even notice that... Maybe I'll re-name it .38 special in 38 minutes. Ha ha... Thanks for the comment and supporting my channel. I hope you found some useful info, Have a great night. :)
Very comprehensive. Easy to follow. Appreciate your insights as to some of the reasons behind your practices. Thanks
A very well presented video.
I enjoyed the step by step instructions.
Keep up the good work.
WoW! You've taken the mystery out of reloading for me. When I was a kid, my uncle would reload his different caliber bullets.
He would even melt the lead and pour the bullets.
I knew he did it but never actually watched him do it.
I've been thinking about it myself and always thought it was extremely difficult and dangerous.
Now I understand the process and it's not so scary. LoL
But like you showed and someone else mentioned in a comment, it's all in the details, paying attention to what you're doing and taking your time doing it.
It looks almost therapeutic and relaxing.
Thanks for sharing and explaining the process in very simple language.
Great video 👍🤠
Thanks for putting this together. It's the first time I've ever watched reloading and you've taken away the fears I had about it being arduous and complicated. I like your patient method of checking as you go. I'll be shooting more and spending less soon.
Excellent video. Thanks for spending time in details.
Awesome! Thanks!
Excellent this has helped me a lot as I’m getting back into shooting and reloading as I used to in the early 90s, thanks a lot.
You helped me immensely when I started out a few years ago..much appreciated
Best video I’ve come across. Thanks so much.
Oh wow, how cool. Great video, never thought about reloading but after watching your video I think I want to start.
Very clear and precise instruction. Thank you. 👍🏼
This is a great video showing the whole setup and steps to take. Thanks I have referred to it several times as I am a bit of a novice at it1
That was phenomenal! THANKYOU for the detailed protocol. Jeff
Really enjoy your videos. Started reloading very recently so I am soaking up as much info as I can. I especially appreciate you mentioning to “prime your brass after neck expansion” to keep primers from being pushed back out slightly due to pressure while expanding. Great stuff!
You did a good job on this video.
Blessings...
Steve C Thank you! Blessings to you too!
Great Video, Thank You, I really like how you explain and show everything in your video. You have a gift for teaching.
Hi JIUJITSU2000, Had to reload some38 special for a friend and had to watch and listen to your video and voice to make sure I did good, my first time on 38 Special. :) Thanks
Thank you for the kind words. I love the .38 special as well. I have another neat video that I just put together with this round. I think 4.2 grains of Unique would be a great load! I love my RL550b. It just works. Getting it was a great choice. Sometimes when I'm in a reloading mood I still use the single stage. I do this to really enjoy the whole reloading experience. Thanks for your support to my channel and I enjoyed reading your comment. Have a great day! :)
Excellent tutorial sir - love the way you place quality over quantity!
Great video. I think you make the best loading videos with excellent explanations. I have watched them a number of times and always pickup another tidbit of info each time I watch. 👍👍👍👍
Very basic, but very well explained. Good job!
Excellent video. Will be referring back to it when I start reloading in a few months.
You are the best teacher on TH-cam!! I just came back and watched for the first time in about 3 or 4 years. Got away from reloading and just came back. Watched many videos on other topics but you are the best!! Also a great teacher is Mike Beliveau whose specialty is Blackpower and history. You two are similar in talent. Bless you! (I know Mike personally here in PA)
Thank you so much for the very kind words and support that you give my channel. Much appreciated and those types of comments give me the motivation to do more things like this. Blessings
Nice step by step video. Good work. Thanks for taking the time.
+Boris Scott thank you!
excellent video, easy to pick up and put down as needed per reloading. awesome job and thank you!
Best reloading video I've seen. Thanks
Ah. My favorite round to reload and shoot. Such a forgiving round to learn from and accurate too as well as versatile!! Enjoyed the vid. I also shot 4.2grs of Unique under a lead SWC with a firm crimp. Used a Dillon AT500 upgraded to RL550 and RCBS little dandy powder measure with the steel rotors that were cut to certain volume. The little dandy threaded on top of the Dillon tool head. I would reload the nickle plated brass until all the nickle was worn off and still had case life left.
This was very demonstrating and fun to watch! One of the best tutorials I've ever seen, very helpful for me. Thank You! :)
Thank you! I appreciate the support as well as the kind words. Have a great day! :)
Thanks for the lesson. I haven't started loading yet and had many question. Thanks again.
Great video. I really appreciated how thorough and unhurried you were in performing and explaining the process. I am researching reloading techniques and equipment as I get ready to get my first press. The only things that I was left wondering at the end, again because you had taught so much and thoroughly, was why the cases got longer (need trimming) and if/how you cleaned your brass. Fantastic job. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Just getting into reloading and this is a great video.
Another great reloading video, keep it up I love watching them!
Thank you for the support and kind words. Have a great evening! :)
Man, thank you soooo much for taking your time and being thorough. Great stuff here!
+SQTierHog You got it brotha! Thank you as well!
Very well done tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, it's really appreciated.
Thank you!
You are very welcome.
Very thorough explanation. Awesome work, probably going to begin reloading soon here.
thank you for the kind words and support you give my channel! have a beautiful day!
Thank you. Very well done video. Will be reloading my own rounds soon. 😊
Thank you! I didn't use any bullet lube because I'm going to be shooting those loads through a very old stub nosed.38 and the barrel is already shot up. I added a note to the video, but maybe you saw it before that. The .40 cal is a great round and the only real difference between reloading the two is that on my revolvers I like to use a roll crimp and on my semi auto's I use a taper crimp. Have a great evening! :)
Right on, man!!
Thank you very much for this very well presented and informative video. I am at the point where I will start reloading and learned a whole lot from this video..
Thank you so much! I'll keep them coming... Have a great evening! :)
Thanks for this excellent video and taking the time to explain it in detail, it has really helped me a lot!
