Been reloading since 1960. I remember the near jelly-like case lube. Fun days.😒 I still use Imperial wax or case lube from Eagle Tears. And in 64 years I've never had a stuck case. But then again I don't get in a hurry.😉
I’ve been reloading for over 40 years yes the hole you’ll find this to relieve pressure that builds up inside the sizing die you have to be careful of your lube building up and when you clean your die you have to take a little pen and make sure that hole is cleaned out or you’ll have problems. I use many loops in the past but I found the easiest and cheapest is a very light sewing machine oil. I put on my pad and I wipe the shell with a clean rag so there’s no extra oil and put it in the Die. knock on wood I had no problem for over 30 years👍🏻
its about tme you guys make a few reloading vids! I mean, we all got the KungFu grips! let do some reloading! we need a huge brownelle hazmat shipping discounts..shipping is hurting us bad! reloading vids more and more!!please ..say it with me caleb..kung fu grip ! cheers always and respectfully from the woods of maine!
I found that a few times the lock ring on the sizing die covers up that vent hole depending on that manufacturer press you’re using and how you have the die set!
hoping to get into reloading soon, would love a nice step by step series like the AR build series. Always helps when not tied to one brand sponsor cuz you're free to recommend different tools for different price points instead of the new hotness affiliate link in the pinned comment! (I know making vids isn't free, its a necessary evil)
Speaking as a reloader for more than fifty years, and who doesn't lament the bad old days, Hornady One-Shot borders on the miraculous. Older style case lubes and techniques required more skill and attention being paid. One-Shot is almost worry-free.
I must be an over-achiever. I've dented the shoulder of cases using a full length resizing die with the hole in it. In fact, my die looks EXACTLY like the one in the video. Forster 6.5 Creedmoor.
No matter what I do my lock ring ends up over my hole..and I’m sure I lube way more than most but if I don’t they stick…I paint it on with a toothbrush halfway down the case and ve tried less with no luck..use lee 4hole with lee dies..
Caleb just needs to make sure he keeps his hair gel away from the loading bench and he'll be fine.

Ah...Steve once again enlightens us. Didn't know and now I do. Always up to learn new things.
I'm a novice reloader, and I certainly didn't know about this hole. Interesting. Thanks guys! 👍
Now if I can just remember all this wonderful information you two share, but thank you for sharing.
Speaking of cats good to see Steve's Catstronaut mug alive and well

Awesome stuff!
Same with bullet seating dies. Make sure that you keep those holes cleaned out!

It's also for air to escape.

I had a suspicion about the hole. I still use the green pad with the stuff that attracts cat hair, in my case it's dog hair.
Can Brylcreem be use as case lube?
Maybe; it contains lanolin.
I didn't know but figured that was what it was for. 👍

It's coming! If not here then probably Rumble, but for sure on our webpage.
@@brownells awesome, looking forward to it
Pad and lube is the best stuff made, great for reforming brass as well.
Been reloading for awhile never heard that fact.

So with all the anti-gun rhetoric being implemented by TH-cam will you guys be moving to a new platform?
Or at least mirror it on other platforms
They do have all this videos on their site

Caleb needs to try his hair product as sizing lube, along with some lard or crisco, just to see how it works
I assumed it was to vent air? Imperial sizing die wax is the best stuff ever.
I gave up on the roly-poly pads and bought carbide dies.
You guys never noticed the vent hole in some dies? Come on guys. Ff sake.

Reloading dies? What happened to it?😧
