In this video I show how to set the primer depth in subsequent calibers so that primer the primer depth bolt does not have to be readjusted every time a caliber conversion is done.
Use the standard primer depth procedure for the initial caliber setup.
This section briefly describes the basic equipment you will need to drop powder charges. I have decided not to get into too much detail as this is a process that everyone needs to read about really well. Enjoy
Basically this video shows you how to tumble your cases to clean them, and what to use. A video that is part of a multipart series on handloading basics

A look at loading, unloading and shooting a stainless steel Ruger 77 Mk II bolt action rifle, chambered for the 7.62x39mm Russian round. This rifle has the old style Ruger synthetic wood stock with rosewood grip inserts.
The ammo used was hand loaded with 160 grain cast bullets and Accurate Arms 1680 powder.
This section covers seating a bullet as well as the tools you will need to measure everything. BTW, I have purposely ommitted the section that would be case trimming because for the purpose of making pistol cartirdges, trimming is USUALLY not neccessary, and I want to cover trimming in more detail when I make a series on loading rifle cartridges. ENJOY
