MDS Episode #0014: Scott Satterlee and Hand Loading
You asked about hand loading, so we listened! We have a special guest on the podcast who needs no introduction in the precision shooting world, Mr. Scott Satterlee. Scott is a renowned handloading “tinkerer”, and we wanted to go straight to the source for the latest information regarding handloading. Scott takes us through his process of brass preparation, when to trim and anneal cases, and his process for developing the load. There are mountains of information in this episode, so have a pen and paper handy! We’re really excited to have this opportunity to talk with Scott and to give you an opportunity to hear what he’s got to say. If you’re looking for more information on this, check out the link below to a recent article that Scott contributed to on the effects of bullet jump and accuracy written by the guys at the Precision Rifle Blog and Mark Gordon of Short Action Customs. We sincerely hope that this helps streamline your reloading process, spending less time at the bench and more time on the range.

If my resized and mandrel-ed cases measure .302, does that mean I have .006 neck tension? Sorry if thats a dumb question but Id rather be correct than assume.

Question: Since we will be using the expander mandrel to set the neck tension, should we remove the expander ball when Full Size Resizing?

Another great Podcast guys. I can't say how much I appreciate what you're doing for the sport. Look forward to something in the yoga department. Keep up the good work.

So when your chasing the lands and working your way back what do you use as your stopping point? For instance, do you keep going back .030, .060, .090 till you get to the book listed COAL or do you go further?

Longer free bore = lower peak pressure but more powder “blow around”... wouldn’t that accelerate throat erosion?

What distance are you doing the “jump testing”... 100 yards?
