As a new reloader, I do appreciate seeing the process all the way through. And the safety tips and comments along the way were interesting too. But since you asked, you could cut your video length to 20 or 30 minutes if you just did a demo of maybe five cases or rounds at each step instead of going through the whole batch. Once you finished a handful with each die, I skipped ahead to the next step. I will be back for more, though, so keep them coming. Thanks!
A well-made systematic and comprehensive video on the process for reloading .45acp rounds in the "Lee Precision Single Stage Press". So happens I just began my reload ambitions and intend to do .45acp bullets with my new Lee Precision Press for starters. Very nice watching your meticulous step-by-step process to help beginners like myself get it right.There are significant details you cover that other clips don't and I like how you flow through your operation in a programmed way to assure that all aspects of reloading are completed and done safely. Keep that work area pristine to assure tenancy in the wife's laundry room. A HUGE THANKS!
Carbide dies don't require lube, as you said. However, lube is always going to be helpful. Non-carbide dies always require lube. The sharp crease on the first case is definitely a case that needs to be rejected. However, a smooth edged dent that isn't too big won't cause any difficulty. The lighting of a cigar by your friend is a MAJOR "No." Kudos for calling him out on this. I will point out that proper technique also says, "No eating or drinking while at the bench." And "Good handwashing after finishing." Overall good video. 👍
FYI for anyone watching this, the numbers around the chuck of a cordless drill have nothing to do with drill speed. The switch on top is for speed low or high, the #s are for clutch settings. #1 being the least clutch pressure for not stripping small screws and the highest # for the most clutch pressure. The picture of the the drill bit on the chuck is for full drill no clutch.
I think your video is excellent. A lot of the other videos on TH-cam go way too fast and for someone new it isn't good. You go into detail which I think is excellent.
From one N FL reloader to another, good video Bro. I do mine somewhat different, but who cares? As long as we are both safe about it. Thanks for the Video.
I recently bought that same press. $59. But it uses the breech lock bushings for the dies. That is a nice thing. Adjust the dies once and then they are all set.
This is the video I needed to see! I am going to begin reloading so I needed to see everything step by step. Thanks. Now, with the current state of affairs, I may have some difficulty obtaining some of the equipment and parts. But I'm looking. Thanks again for the Video!!!
You might have mentioned that 45 ACP brass can be Large or Small pistol Primers, Which is why inspecting your brass is important. Overall, a good video- if a little long.
Funny thing about this, I just reloaded 100 of my preferred 45 ACP target load, 210grn semi-wadcutters with 4.2grn of 700-X (and getting close to the last of the CCI #300's) on the single stage, that I do stuff like this on to get everything right. Of course yesterday, had the progressive set up to take care of the 9mm stuff, where good enough is good enough, and just pulling the handle and throwing the results into a cardboard box worked fine.
After throwing your charge, checking em with the flashlight is good, but I’d recommend a separate tray for the cartridges after you charge em to help avoid an accidental double charge, and THEN check those with a flashlight to make daw gone sure you didn’t double charge 🙂
That .5 scoop with the powder I am using (Unique) comes to about 4.2 grains with an over full scoop. I had to weigh all my charges. I bought a set of the Lee scoops and then work out which comes closest for the loads I am doing.
Have you shot the 230 gr LRN through anything other than the gun you built? I have a Kimber 1911 Stainless LW and I have to load these at 1.2 or less OAL or they won't chamber, or go into a case gauge. I'm using a Dillon Square Deal which resizes the cases, and the cases plunk after re-sizing but once the bullet is seated and crimped if the OAL is over 1.2 they won't chamber or plunk in a case gauge.
Dear All Things, I’m curious why, if you’re going to waste time loading 50 in the tray, then lube the first case of each row… Once you have the lube on your fingers from the first one, why you don’t just lube the rest of the first row?
Lee: the Chevrolet of reloading equipment. Shooting reloads in a Glock voids the warranty. You need good overall length so the rounds will fit in a 1911 magazine.
I've reloaded for 55 years using a single stage press. Never liked the idea of a progressive press. I prime by hand so I have a better feel that you do not have with a press. If you had problems and youvset off a primer you have an open case with powder. Not as good of a check a case got powder whrn youvtry to go faster. I can easily do 150 rounds in an hour for the next cowboy shoot.That is fast enough for me.
I saw this video when I was trying to learn to reload 45acp. Didn't help much at all. Now that I know how to reload 45acp I realize that this video is full of unnecessary non sense and that's why it did not help me. Best to KISS and then troubleshoot any issues and then find ways to improve steps.
Un lavoro inutile. Prendi i bossoli, mettili dentro un sacco di tela, mettilo in lavatrice insieme al bucato normale e fai un ciclo di lavaggio. I tuoi bossoli verranno lucidi e puliti a costo ZERO e senza doverli svuotare dalle granaglie.
I use to use a single stage like you until people reminded me that im stealing from them ? Yup so I asked ? Let’s say you reload 200 45s take you one hour . Well I reload a lot more now on my progressive . So I’m not stealing time away from you kids or if you even care about the wife she will remind you . So if you think you’re time is worth nothing you might rethink that .

Switched to a turret press and what an improvement... Highly recommend any single pressers making the upgrade.

Really enjoyed watching you work. Thanks for your time here!
Nice and Simple reloading operation. love it. Many years of happy reloading.

I pulled this up to say the same thing it's clutch settings for torque not speed

Great explaining video, thank you! Enjoyed it from start to finish!
Best video of reloading ive seen And ive seen alot thanks for the info....
From one N FL reloader to another, good video Bro. I do mine somewhat different, but who cares? As long as we are both safe about it. Thanks for the Video.
Awesome video, thanks. Just started reloading.
I recently bought that same press. $59. But it uses the breech lock bushings for the dies. That is a nice thing. Adjust the dies once and then they are all set.
Fantastic video, very complete. Thank you.
Perfect, watched it all. Im just about starting this with Lee...thanks man
This is the video I needed to see! I am going to begin reloading so I needed to see everything step by step. Thanks. Now, with the current state of affairs, I may have some difficulty obtaining some of the equipment and parts. But I'm looking. Thanks again for the Video!!!
Glad you enjoyed it if you got any questions I am here to help
Like you I have the small lee press that I use for 45 acp and 40 s&w . Although it is time consuming it still meets my requirements.
You might have mentioned that 45 ACP brass can be Large or Small pistol Primers, Which is why inspecting your brass is important.
Overall, a good video- if a little long.
those numbers are the tension on the chuck , not the drill speed. the drill speed is on top .1,2, or 3
Hi, I am new at reloading I did not see the last die Bullet seating die being set great video.
Funny thing about this, I just reloaded 100 of my preferred 45 ACP target load, 210grn semi-wadcutters with 4.2grn of 700-X (and getting close to the last of the CCI #300's) on the single stage, that I do stuff like this on to get everything right.

Nice Setup
please continue. really informative. Just found you.
After throwing your charge, checking em with the flashlight is good, but I’d recommend a separate tray for the cartridges after you charge em to help avoid an accidental double charge, and THEN check those with a flashlight to make daw gone sure you didn’t double charge 🙂
I'm just getting into reloading. I'm going 2 reload swc and round nose bullets. Are Lee dies universal universal for both rounds
What do you think about winchester 231 powder
Just starting out in reloading.. with Lee products. Would love to see a 5.56 video!
why don't you decap your brass before cleaning?
That .5 scoop with the powder I am using (Unique) comes to about 4.2 grains with an over full scoop. I had to weigh all my charges. I bought a set of the Lee scoops and then work out which comes closest for the loads I am doing.
I would knock the primers out first then clean the cases in your media, might be too easy ?
Do you sort your caseings for small and large primers?
Yes I do I prefer the large pistol primer cases
Have you shot the 230 gr LRN through anything other than the gun you built? I have a Kimber 1911 Stainless LW and I have to load these at 1.2 or less OAL or they won't chamber, or go into a case gauge. I'm using a Dillon Square Deal which resizes the cases, and the cases plunk after re-sizing but once the bullet is seated and crimped if the OAL is over 1.2 they won't chamber or plunk in a case gauge.
I use that same bullet in my springfield xd 45 it is a good bullet very accurate
Invest in a lee bulge buster this little tool will return your 45 acp brass to factory spec you may also need to trim your brass
LEE, also makes an Undersized Size Die (Carbide). They guarantee when using this die, the rounds will chamber in Any gun.
Dear All Things, I’m curious why, if you’re going to waste time loading 50 in the tray, then lube the first case of each row… Once you have the lube on your fingers from the first one, why you don’t just lube the rest of the first row?
That is what I normally do I was trying to show the correct way

I love my 550B cool video.
Thanks stay tuned I have more great content coming
Oh buddy, you need yourself a 550B! Haha. .45 is one I’ve never gotten into. Guess I need me a 1911. Haha a tolerant wife is an amazing thing.
Super Video/.

Great vid!!!! Money saving tip for you you can go to a pet store and buy lizard bedding it’s crushed walnut way cheaper!!!
Thank you for the tip about where to get tumbler media you were right so much cheaper Thanks
Happy wife, happy life
But yeah; Lee is great. All my precision and low volume rounds come off my single stage. 1/2 moa is no problem.
that lee hand primer looks exhausting. 2 hands to seat a primer? no thanks
Gunpowder does not explode,primers do
@@AndrewCox-y4l you are wrong gunpowder if compressed in a sealed area like a loaded bullet does explode
@@allthingsarcheryandshootin9380 how come on the back panel it says oxidising agent 2

There’s no wonder this video is over an hour. There’s a whole lot of yabbering and no reloading.
sorry it was kind of long but i wanted to be sure everyone could understand thanks for watching
It was advertised as a hour long so what's your problem
Not a video I would recommend for beginners or anyone else for that matter. Info is far from accurate.
Really and how so I have been reloading for the better part of 30 years and would like to know what is far from accurate please explain
I use to use a single stage like you until people reminded me that im stealing from them ? Yup so I asked ? Let’s say you reload 200 45s take you one hour .
