Even I have no interest in this press, I really enjoyed this video. You're very articulated and your content is always interesting. I woukd like to see more articles on your website, all are very good. Thanks for what you do!
I just brought an AMP Press home from New Zealand when my wife and I were vacationing there. I met Alex and Matt, from AMP, and they are great people to talk to. As a relatively new F class shooter it has shown me where my brass prep procedures are and given me ideas as to what to change in order to reduce that seating force. My curves look similar to the Stress v Strain curve you have displayed, but they top out at an average 150lbs of force using Redding Competition bushing dies. While they are consistent to each other; they are not within 5lbs of one another.
Great video thanks. I always find you video's very informative. Am heading back into F-Open over the next few months; and expect I will end up with one of these presses especially as they are manufactured only 1 hr away from where I live here in NZ.
So what you're saying here, without saying it is...this is the 6.5 Creedmoor of seating presses, for newb handloaders.....press the easy button?! Best concise description of the press & software I've seen yet! There's a lot of data using this, just need to figure what and how to use it?
I've been enjoying your videos since discovering them about a month or so ago. I watched the AMP video about 'annealing the same case twice' and was surprised to learn that the reloading process raises the harness of brass quite a bit. Most shooters who anneal do that BEFORE sizing and loading the brass. I'm thinking about changing my order to - de-prime, tumble, trim, SIZE then anneal. The last thing then would be to prime, charge and seat a bullet. IOW only one loading operation on the brass after the anneal. It seems to me that if the resizing operation adds hardness that the best way to get consistency would be to do that as near the end of the reloading process as possible. Since I don't have an AMP press I will have to hope that someone with a press gets curious enough to test this theory. Thank you!
Hey Greg, good video. What I've found is changing where the press head is in relation to where the bullet seating occurs matter as it lengthens the X-Zero travel distance. I have even found the press will seat differently from a perspective of rapid increase of force having an impact in the software. I can get a change in the outcome of seating based on how much distance is between the press head and the seating stem head.
Thoughts Measuring Bullet Seating Pressure is Only Accurate if the Seating Velocity is VERY Consistent. More specifically the Velocity of the Seater Stem Must be the Same from Start to Finish of the Bullet Seating Process for Each Successive Bullet Seating. Seating Pressures are DIRECTLY Related to and Impacted by Any Variations in the Seating Velocity.... Soo I'm Curious as to How AMP has accomplished this Task.
Great video, thank you! I wanted to add to one aspect of your commentary, given my experience over the last few days with my AMP Press. What I have noticed, is that when the cases are of a consistent length, then the start of the graph actually show slight inconsistencies with bullet length. To be more precise, distance from boat tail junction to stem ogive. This was particularly shown when I used the same case and seating 183gn vs 197gn Sierra Match Kings. Would be keen on your thoughts and if you could replicate the same on your end. The question then is, does this have any effect on the target? Well, time will tell, as we are not yet able to go to the range here in parts of Australia. Keep up the good work of keeping everyone informed.
Yup, the lengths of all of the specific components certainly changes how things are presented! In future videos I'll use significantly more uniform length cases.

Do you turn your necks on your new brass before starting your testing?
Not for the purposes of this video.
Good video, Are you using amp annealer?
No, I don't have one of those.
@@primalrights thanks, also were these brass done with idod ?
@@360joseph360 They were not.
