    Film: Reloading cycle

    Feel like bit of a w**ker putting out this film here, but I've been asked so many times to do a film on my reloading cycle.

    Have been very reluctant to do so, as I basically don't master reloading. I understand the basics, do it to for the economy in it and I'm willing to spend money on gear if it saves time - I don't like doing it.

    This forum contains far more expertise on reloading than what I can offer, so tips for improving my own routine is very welcome but I'm afraid I can't offer much back in terms of reloading tips.

    To structure the reloading and have a routine has been the most important thing for me when I reload (about 300'ish rounds at a time). The quality of the reloads has not improved since I started out with the basic Lee kit, but I spend far less time reloading now that I have different gear. I'm still looking to cut down on time and I've gotten some pointers already on how to improve the primer pocket cleaning.

    It's always good to see how others do it. Thanks Norway.

    Been a fair while since I've seen a can of Norma powder over here.
    Looks like I've missed a couple of episodes of your blog too, I'll save then till James has been put to bed.

    Yes, very happy with my 6,5x284 now. Have 5 barrels on order and will change to that calibre exclusively. It just works, especialy for the tiny deer I shoot.

    Why not clean your cases after resizing and de-priming? Save on the primer pocket cleaning?
