Any real hunter knows that the high efficiency of the shot, and therefore, good luck on the hunt no less than 50 per cent dependent on the quality of ammunition it uses.It is impossible to count how many wonderful hunting was spoiled as embarrassing blunders allowed and what happened misfires due to defective ammunition.However, each seasoned hunter there is no one left a similar story when he or his comrades were without the coveted trophy.Most of these missteps occur in novice hunters, who pay little attention to the quality of ammunition and shooting or the fact that there are (at times from the previous owner, along with second-hand gun ammunition gets half a sack), or the fact that it is cheaper.
But with the experience of the hunter begins to analyze and understand what is in this or that case of failure on the hunt (even if the shot came) he summed ammunition.As a result, they begin the search for the best ammunition for their weapons.As a rule, having tried all available brands of ammunition, the hunter finds something more or less suitable for the time and calms down, but only for a while.This is because there is no completely uniform gun or rifle.Even the weapons of the same model from the product to the product has a characteristic features as the hunters say, "your character."So start experimenting with self-weaponization.
first experiences occur with old sets for loading cartridges, consisting at most of naboynika, gauge rings, twist (asterisk) and weights.Such kits though inexpensive, but have one significant for many, defect, namely for loading cartridges need a considerable amount of time.This makes it virtually impossible to mass loading of cartridges (100 or more pieces at a time).In such cases come to the aid of machines for gear hunting cartridges.Modern hunting circles weaponization process is often referred to as taken over from Western colleagues terms "loading" and "Reloading".
How to start loading
As the theater begins with a hanger, and after loading begins with the selection of the machine.To date, the mass producers offers a wide selection of all kinds of devices.Machines for filling cartridges of caliber 12 as the most common among hunters, are most in demand, so will start with them.Among their huge variety can be distinguished company MEC - American manufacturer of products for hunting, gain popularity not only abroad but also in the CIS.The secret of their popularity is quite simple: the price of products meets the declared quality.Their machines are not the most expensive, but provide a high quality and, most importantly, a stable result in mass Reloading.
Single coil machine supplies cartridges MEC 600 jr.mark V
consider the company's products on the example of the machine MEC 600 jr.mark V, as it is the basic foundation on which to create a more advanced machine.Its all-metal parts gives it strength and durability in operation without loss of quality ammunition.
Easy maintenance and high performance make it a good helper, not only hunters, but professional athletes every day to shoot hundreds of rounds of ammunition.With a little practice, and that the machine can be recharged cartridges, which in appearance will not differ from the factory.But it will match your weapon, and the specific conditions in which you will shoot.Naturally, you need to do is pick up the sample of powder and shot, high-quality liner wads hubs and stuff, and that's another story.But after all this, get a gun and a sharp projected heap fight.
With this press gradually made a series of operations.
1. Depraymerizatsiya (dekapsulirovanie)
this word into a foreign-style is now called the process punched pressing off the primer.At the same time compression comes depraymerizatsiey skirt sleeve of any height (if exaggerated skirt).Dekapsyulirovanie bottoms and compression sleeve is very convenient for one-press handle press simultaneously.After returning the press knob to its original position ready sleeve is automatically squeezed out of the ring gauge.Punched caps fall into a removable container, aligning the bottom of the press.Very convenient that if there is no need for compression sleeves, the gauge ring can be removed, as it is removable.
2. Praymerizatsiya (encapsulation)
In step encapsulation is being installed in the sleeve of the new capsule.The capsule becomes easily and without much effort.Machines for filling cartridges MEC good that the primer is served in the sleeve automatically from a special holder.This has a positive effect on the speed of equipment cartridges.
3. Bookmark charge and projectile
This operation involves just four steps: dosing and sprinkling powder, wads and installation of gaskets, seals and lapping up wads of powder dosing and sprinkling fraction.Conveniently, you can use all kinds of wads: wood fiber, felt, plastic containers, or wads wads-shutters.Press allows you to put in the pocket wads not mash them.It is very convenient that it is not necessary to align Dultsev sleeve.Install wads in a few seconds.
press machine equipment cartridges does it with the same force for each munition.Staff set has a 3 bulk measurements for dosing powder.With their help, the charge of gunpowder for each cartridge will have a minimum error.Naturally, the three yardsticks is not enough for the different test portions.But they can be purchased separately or order a Friend turner that can easily produce them.How uncomfortable it should be noted that all the machines for the 12-caliber ammunition supplies this company does not have a complete replacement for a fraction yardsticks.Charging base plate involves fractions weighed 32 grams.And of course, if necessary, another sample shot projectile will need to buy other battery plates.A good option is to adjust the depth of occurrence navoynika.Thus creates the necessary pressure on the wad, and the entire batch of cartridges.This has impact on the uniformity of gas pressure in the chamber and the bore, and, respectively, the whole firing parameters.
4. Rolling sleeve
machines equipment 12 caliber bullets, and not only the 12th, rolled sleeve six- or eight-petal "asterisk".Best of all, the star turns strong and beautiful, not only on new, but also on the spent paper and plastic sleeves.Moreover, the sleeve can be recharged without deterioration until its complete physical wear and tear.Quality rolling also promotes the ability to control the depth of subsidence "star".At the final stage of the "star" is forced to shot, and with it formed a cone collar Dultsev sleeve.
kitted cartridges using a rolling press of the "star", we must understand that in this case pyzhevanie cartridge is unnecessary, since the powder is pressed at the moment prosazhivanie Dultsev sleeve.The manufacturer does not recommend to change the recommended settings press, as in most of the cases, their lack of eye for loading cartridges with various ballistic characteristics.To change the shot, you just change the brand and / or a sample of powder, shot, type of wad or liner.Cartridges with tapered asterisk are successfully used in all semi-automatic machines (they do not distort or snack).Powder and shot coming in from the tanks semi-sleeve.Bunkers simply dismantled.You can first fill in their powder and shot, and then put on the press, or vice versa.
Progressive machines for filling cartridges 12 caliber
main difference between progressive machines from single-coil in the fact that they allow you to work simultaneously with six sleeves, not one.The rest of the quality of the finished cartridges is no different.
presses equipment cartridges from LEE
fans to shoot and own pozaryazhat cartridges broken a lot of copies of disputes on the basis of "what machine is best?".There is no answer today.As the saying goes: "The taste and color - no friends."An explicit example of this - a manufacturer of equipment for hunters LEE.Machine equipment manufacturer cartridges that allows patrons quality is not worse than the same MEC, but on a smaller scale than the progressive press.
In general, disputes in this area will continue to exist as long as long as there are hunters themselves and self-weaponization.
little about homemade products
In addition, there is a category specifically inveterate reloaderov who prefer homemade any industrial machine equipment cartridges, on the basis of ready-made designs and own designs.However, the manufacture of home-made machines goes far beyond the limits of this review article, and requires a person who has decided to make such a device, the mass of engineering knowledge, skills and plumbing of a large number of turning, milling and sometimes welding quality.
Reloading threaded cartridges
Reloading ammunition for the rifle is also a large and separate topic that is increasingly on the minds of a growing number of shooters in the CIS having to use rifles, carbines and other rifles.
Machine Equipment threaded cartridges is quite different from the machine for a shotgun due to the fact that the threaded cartridges have many differences from the shotgun.However, some common operations are present, such as the removal of punched the primer, installing a new dosing powder sample and crimper spent cartridges to the same size.But other than that, the loading of threaded cartridges required changes dulets sleeves, removing internal and external burrs and crimp bullets for their tight fit in the pocket.
