Part 2 is here! This is the grand re-release of the 2020 “lost” footage where we load 9mm on a single-stage press. I walk through brass inspection, sizing/decapping, trimming, priming (hand tool & on-press), measuring powder (balance beam, thrower, RCBS electronic), seating to OAL, and applying a light crimp—plus labeling and using a case gauge.
What you’ll learn:
-Why single-stage is perfect for learning fundamentals
-Brass inspection: splits, bulges, case head issues
-Resize/decap + shell holder setup
-Trimming & deburr (Lee system) and when pistol cases need it
-Priming two ways (RCBS hand primer + on-press)
-Powder: balance beam vs. thrower vs. electronic dispenser
-Seating depth & OAL checks (example target ~1.150")
-Light crimping: what it does and how to avoid over-crimp
-Final inspection, case gauge checks, labeling & load journal
