At least his primer pockets are squeaky clean.
I think I'm doing things wrong by trying to do things right. I try to research and hone my methods before I make videos for youtube and I have like 20 times FEWER views than this guy.
It must be the sound track.
I fear that until a select few can profit from not treading on me, nothing will change.

I submitted a comment with some suggestions. It says "Comment Pending Approval!" so I doubt it gets posted.
I could only watch for a few seconds. I couldn't watch anymore. It was akin to watching someone abuse any other piece of equipment and otherwise head down the road toward disaster. But, it also served to remind me how fortunate I am.
I shot commercially cast bullets for decades prior to starting to make my own. Other than myself, I have seen only one person cast a bullet ever, and that was just one occasion, but he is a Master at it. I watched, listened, and even cast a few with his rig. I then duplicated his array of equipment, and then discovered this forum, which I explored extensively prior to starting.
I now cast ten (10) different pistol bullets, and my finished product is better than anything I have ever purchased.
There are no words to describe the service this forum has done for me and my skill set as a caster. I log on here each time I go on the internet, and usually either learn something or reinforce something I know each time. Of all the shooting related forums, this is by far the most useful I have found.
Many thanks to those many who offer constructive criticism and advice!

There is some ammo and more ammo. There is never enough ammo!

This guy probably inherited the equipment. His 'ol man is rolling over in his grave!! LOL
The RCBS Trimmate is a great machine, but the large primer pocket uniformer is for rifle only.
There is a collar on the cutter at the specified depth, then the screw head is broke off so it is not adjustable.
He wasn't paying attention when Dad tried to teach him. Hope he comes here and gets educated.
Mark that's the same thing I thought as well.
No one buys a RCBS case prep center and an expensive powder dispenser without knowing the basics about how to make good ammo.
Pretty funny but considering this group and the QA/QC we try to excell at I doubt it was anyone here. I for one could never bring myself to strike hot aluminum with cold steel. Also it's been dicussed many times about using fishing weights and the questionable stuff in them. He didn't even skim his mix so it prolly had all sorts of good stuff mixed in there to like supliments and vitamins to make "better bullets."

No that is not a joke!
You-Tube has dozens of videos just that bad.
You guys that know what you are doing can have a lot of fun over there watching those idiots - but beginners really should stay away from You Tube.
To be fair, there are also some excellent videos. The beginner can't determine what is legit and what is pure idiocy.

I tried to leave comments a year or two ago, but they never were "approved" and posted.
At least he had handles on his mold...
This fella is going to call Lee in a few days and complain about the short lifespan of his mould; they'll probably send him a new one, too.
Anyone comes near my moulds with a hammer will be removing said implement from an orifice
Good stuff.
Just think of all the people that are watching those types of videos as "Educational" material...
Shudder when I think about it.
Someone else on here also made the comment about how LOTS of people are buying reloading equipment, enough to clean out alot of shops, but there's still reloading manuals on the shelf....
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Scary part is the number of new reloaders thanking him for the video! And just think, you may be shooting next to him someday... He has $600 worth of case prep and powder despenser yet can't afford a loading block? His casting setup seems totally inefficient, more lead ends up on the stove and sprue plate than in the mould. And no lube??? Not sizing is ok, maybe he casts them just right (DOUBT IT) but how hard is LLA or pan lubing? Be sure to use a "cold load with lead bullets" I am assuming he means a light load, probably because anything over airgun velocities leads something fearce lol. All i can say is wow. Just... Wow. Scary that he gets to put this out there and people learn from it! As for beating his mould, did you notice how clean his casting bench was? This is probably the same guy that tightens his lug nuts with a tire iron and a piece of cheater pipe cuz tight is good and tighter is better!

Tool for the job (hard on equipment).
Come to think of it, we have a kid that works on the ranch that fits into this song too.
