Pacific Power "C": Part 4.1 - Powder Throw, Seat, Crimp

3 days ago

Debut of a 1950s Pacific Power "C" reloading press. This is the first time using this press. In this video we demonstrate a vintage Hornady Powder throw, powder throw technique, and zeroing and validating the scale.

We also set up the seat and crimp die. During the video I actually grab the wrong die and I don't realize it. I work through the issue on camera. There's a follow up video coming to explain what happened and why it happened. What's worse is I mention the seater needing to be different on this vintage RCBS die for 357 vs 38 Special. *sigh*

We also have a couple of bad bullets during the run. We catch these during our routine checks.

I'm keeping the mistakes in the video to illustrate what can happen so they can be learned from. Nothing unsafe happens and no bad advice is given.
