Holy buckets...the tackle box per caliber approach is the best thing I have seen! I am going to try to apply that process to my own reloading...while I am only reloading a handful of rifle calibers and about 6-7 handgun calibers..that really makes a lot of sense! Great interview...and I totally agree...reloading is a calming influence on my normal crazy schedule. Thanks for putting these interviews together.
Using tackle boxes per caliber was money. Starting that tomorrow!!!! Thank John for taking the time to film, edit and set up these videos. I don’t shoot F-class but have found your channel to be a my go to reloading resource. You have a true talent in the way you interview your guests. You get them to open up naturally and your pacing is on point. Really appreciate you bro. Keep’m come’n 😉
I finally cut back on the number of cartridges that I reload for. Sold off everything that I didn’t shoot that often. Now I have more room. (Didn’t have enough room before.) And upgraded a lot of my equipment.
It is obvious that your interviews of shooters you know really brings out what great people shooters are including yourself John! When it was mentioned that you teach reloading classes I personally would love to see you do a video on reloading. Specifically for aspiring F Class shooters and the process from start to finish! Thanks for the videos and keep them coming!
John, i think this is the best Reloading Room Confession you've do to date. Why? because Rene has the most thought out equipment arrangement I've seen in a very long time. Plus he is willing to share it with your viewers. That Corbin press is one mammoth piece. Keep 'em coming. Erik Cortina in the future some day?
Renee is quite a character. You can tell he is a genuine guy. He’s one you can always go to for that doohickey no one else has and he will give it to you or make it. Thanks for sharing.
Another great interview. I don’t know what Renee does professionally but one way or another he’s become a very ‘smart’ reloader as he’s justifiably sceptical regarding the ‘practical’ worth (on the target) of some aspects of the process. ‘Scepticism’ in this context isn’t saying a certain process doesn’t give benefit - it’s asking for proof that it does.
Great interview John. Thank you and Rene (hope I spelled that right) for taking some time out to share part of your lives. Enjoyed it greatly. Keep up the great work.
John, Rene mentioned a reloading class you taught. I would be interested in attending a holistic top to bottom reloading class if there are any coming up in the future. Thanks
For myself, the amp has given me consistency in neck tension and consistent shoulder bump over the life span of a piece of brass. I also find that when I reload a multitude of different calibers my attention to detail drops.
My shoulder bump measures within .001 with out annealing which is outside of the accuracy of my mitutoyo calipers. Not sure how you are measuring any more accurate than that. I don’t measure my neck tension but my ammo shoots .3 moa. How ever I am about to start annealing
@@taylorbokshowan5713 Not trying to be a smart a$$ but if my bench gun shot in the .3 I’d go back and start over with my load development routine. My custom gun shoots in the .1’s consistently. If it didn’t I wouldn’t be competitive at all. My factory gun ‘ Savage LRPV’ shoots consistently in the low .2’s. Brass prep is only part of the equation buts high on the list in my opinion.
@@jimbo32ish I don’t compete and I don’t honestly think I can shoot better than .3 I’m just using a standard bipod and game changer rear bag. I’m assuming you use some sort of front rest and a solid rear bag. I just see everyone claiming oh my shoulder bump is accurate to .001. Ya we’ll ur calipers are +/- .001” so that’s more like .003 accuracy.
Cortina runs his amp against his bench source and there is no measure-able difference but then he states the amp is a bit more consistent….??? IMO that means the amp isn’t worth the money any annealer will do. I have seen smaller groups personally from annealing
I’m not sure it’s the “best” annealer as far as end result but I bought mine because it’s easy, hassle free, and (mainly) the safest.. don’t want an open flame running in the garage especially since my little girl loves to climb on the bench. But don’t get me started on the AMP mate 😂
Another awesome session John very interesting guy he has my thoughts on annealing it would be interesting if someone did a detailed test to prove one way or the other if it affects accuracy or just extends the life of brass , thank you for your time Mate , Aussie Steve .
It seems to me that Erik Cortina did do a very good annealing test that he put out on video. He was so convincing, that I have started annealing all my brass, every time I shoot them. Even my ole deer slayer 30-30.
I think the annealing - for me at least - is that it helps remove/mitigate just one more of the unending variables in reloading and therefore annealing basically brings that brass back to a 'home' state. And now it is just part of the routine to do every time. So maybe it's not that it makes a better shooting experience per se, but helps to keep consistency and OCD tendencies in check. Enjoying your whole confessions series. Might have to refer to you as Father John soon. As a potential thought for another time - how about inviting us all to one of your weekly shoots with the gang?
What a great community. Love these videos. I am the same way. I know I wont be a champion and just competing with my self but love to spend my time with friends at the range. We help each other to spend the last penny from the savings :) Greetings from Hungary
i think thats ADHD more than OCD, i have the same problem, and when you mentioned he knew exactly where something was under a pile of other things on the bench that seems a mess...yeah that hit home haha
OCD is often confused with perfectionism. I’ve never found someone crippled with OCD who strives for perfection in other facets. They tend to fixate. Perfectionism is a trait shared by all precision shooters-knowledge being the variable,
@@FClassJohn I think, people use it as a pejorative to label our personality types because they can’t understand us. I enjoy perfectionism and the results I achieve from it. OCD just seems like a curse.
It has a green light! And the balance beam should theoretically be more reliable just as revolvers are theoretically more reliable than pistols. But I’ve had some revolver malfunctions too. Long story short. I can get very low ES spreads with a Chargemaster Lite. But it takes a bit longer. You will pay for time savings. Does saving 2-3s per round justify $2000? It must for some people
It you would have watched the video in its entirety, it would have been clear to you that this wasn’t your typical case of “more money than brains”. Your loss 🤷🏼♂️

That's very kind of you to say and I really appreciate that. I'm working as we speak to line up more reloading room videos for everyone to enjoy.
@@FClassJohn No problem. Can’t wait

Thank you for the kind words.
One of the most real and down to earth interviews I've seen! So much nice equipment in that room too. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you and I just did one with Erik if you haven’t seen it.

John, Thanks for sharing this Rene appears to be a very interesting individual. I enjoy seeing the different setups and layouts of the rooms also.

Another great video. Thank you both for doing these videos. Very nice reloading room Rene.
John, Rene mentioned a reloading class you taught. I would be interested in attending a holistic top to bottom reloading class if there are any coming up in the future. Thanks
I enjoy the reloading process (experimentation) almost as much as the shooting. Great hobby!

Would you guys consider doing an online version of your course? It would be great for us international shooters. Greetings from South Africa!
Less than 30 minutes and Rene cut the AMP cultists right to the bone.

Well done John! Good stuff!
Thank you
I thought I was nuts loading 11 calibers, but this guy is next level...
Loving these interviews John
Another awesome session John very interesting guy he has my thoughts on annealing it would be interesting if someone did a detailed test to prove one way or the other if it affects accuracy or just extends the life of brass , thank you for your time Mate , Aussie Steve .
Didn’t Lou Murdica do that?
The question of, Do I reload to shoot, or shoot to reload??? I fully understand Renee's answer. I'm OCD also. Great interview Sir. Thank Yawl.❤❤❤👍👍👍👀😎
Renee, really genuine guy….love the gear!
Yeah he’s very down to earth for sure.
It seems to me that Erik Cortina did do a very good annealing test that he put out on video. He was so convincing, that I have started annealing all my brass, every time I shoot them. Even my ole deer slayer 30-30.
As Harry pope once said “don’t always try for a ten. Shoot for 9s and the 10s will take care of themselves”
... interesting comment about Rene's comment about best node... and there Bryan Litz just did that test... curious to hear his follow up now..
Thank you John, I like that gentleman. IDOD = true neck thickness :) Now back to the bullet sorting thing..

Hey John, What is your procedure and what equipment do you use to inside and outside neck turn?
OCD is often confused with perfectionism. I’ve never found someone crippled with OCD who strives for perfection in other facets. They tend to fixate. Perfectionism is a trait shared by all precision shooters-knowledge being the variable,
Very well said. I’ll have to remember perfectionism vs ocd in the future.
@@FClassJohn
I think, people use it as a pejorative to label our personality types because they can’t understand us. I enjoy perfectionism and the results I achieve from it. OCD just seems like a curse.
The V4 is much cheaper is the performance that much better for 3K +?
It has a green light! And the balance beam should theoretically be more reliable just as revolvers are theoretically more reliable than pistols. But I’ve had some revolver malfunctions too.
Long story short. I can get very low ES spreads with a Chargemaster Lite. But it takes a bit longer. You will pay for time savings. Does saving 2-3s per round justify $2000? It must for some people
annealing.........something that happens everytime my bullet is jam'd & the round goes off......??.....right...
I'll let you guys spend the money on the annealing and then you let us whether it really works or not :-)
100-1x still beats 99-9x every time.
Yikes.. your face is in the camera
Just another rich guy. Commenting for algorithm, but no interest in the video. Adios.
It you would have watched the video in its entirety, it would have been clear to you that this wasn’t your typical case of “more money than brains”. Your loss 🤷🏼♂️
