Editorial Reviews

If you are new to reloading let this new 2005 DVD be your guide to saving 50% or more on ammunition. You probably have a specific bullet or bullets you want to reload. For this video an RCBS Rock Chucker Master Reloading Kit was chosen as the press--because it is one of the most popular presses out there--that is, you can find the press and parts for it easily--as well as used parts, etc. The chances are that no matter what bullet you want to reload RCBS'll have the tools for it. (And RCBS even has its own bullet line, Speer, with it's own loading manual. But you can load any bullet line with this RCBS press.) Even if you decide to buy a multistep loading press, or a press from a different manufacturer, the basic procedures are the same so you won't go wrong buying this video. In this video you'll learn to reload both straight cases (usually referred to as handgun cases) and necked-down cases (usually referred to as rifle cases), so most of the ammo out there is covered, and there will be no need to buy a separate rifle or pistol video. You will, of course, need to buy, safety glasses or goggles, a loading press, and obtain a loading manual (to tell you what powder to use with the bullet you are loading)--but many presses come with manuals included, as discussed in the video. Where possible, other manufacturer's tools are used. For example the video uses a Lyman caliper, and Frankford Arsenal case tumbler(an inexpensive, tough little tumbler.) Thus "Learn Handgun & Rifle Reloading in Under 41 Minutes" is probably the best reloading video for the beginner. Without a wasted moment this video shows you how to set up an inexpensive, space-saving(spouse-pleasing) workbench, how-to setup an RCBS Rock Chucker Press, how to remove spent primers, resize cases, insert new primers, measure and load powder, and insert a new bullet. This video's 36 chapters let you review processes easily, without having to search.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent learning tool for beginners in a hurry, November 29, 2004

This review is from: Learn Handgun & Rifle Reloading in Under 41 Minutes (DVD)

Most of the reloading video's I've seen are all over the place. They talk about so many of the different reloading platforms that they don't spend enough time on the essentials. One thing I like about this video is picks a platform and then gets right down to how-to use it to reload. Let's face it, all the steps are basically the same--no matter what you use. I would say that this video is more for the beginner than the seasoned reloader. And if anything, the author ovedoes the safety aspects. He even includes a minor accident he had while making the video and uses it as a proof that safety glasses should always be worn (probably true--I don't wear mine ofen enough) This dvd is shorter than most of the other videos, but it has so many chapters 36 in a 40+ minute video that you can pick out the parts you need to watch over. So if you are like me, and forget how to roll crimp a case you can watch that part and refresh your memory.
I would say if you are just getting started this is a great video to watch. Kind of like having a friend show you what to do. If you are a seasoned reloader this will only be a rehash of what you already know.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are contemplating reloading, this DVD is a must., November 7, 2007

This review is from: Learn Handgun & Rifle Reloading in Under 41 Minutes (DVD)

I have spent the last year painfully reading anything I can get my hands on about reloading. This short video puts out so much information that I watched it three times in a row.

In the video, it shows you how to reload pistol and rifle ammunition. These processes are slightly different, and this DVD shows you what is the same and what is different.

If you are wondering what equipment is necessary to buy in order to reload, get this video. He explains everything that you need to successfully reload. I personally have the same press that is shown in the DVD, the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme RCBS Rock Chucker® Supreme Master Reloading Kit - 9357. Pay attention to the list of tools he tells you to get, I ended up buying a bunch of tools that I didn't really need. THIS DVD WILL SAVE YOU MONEY!!!!

A word of caution: I suggest that you use/build a really sturdy wooden work bench. The pieces of wood he slapped together is not what you want to use for your reloading bench!!!

Summary: Great DVD for reloading newbees. More experienced reloaders wouldn't like this DVD. Reloading is a safe and fun hobby and this DVD will put you on the right path to successful reloading.
