Me too. I got started in '68 and spent two years' worth of lawn mower money on an RCBS Rock Chucker Press, which I still load on. A Remington 700 soon came home with me too and 50 lbs of 4831, which I paid all of 25 cents a pound for. That power fueled a lot of 270s and 7mm RM that I bought because that was what the shop had on the rack at the time, I still have that rifle, and that 4831 surpluses 20 mm cannon powder from Hodgen lasted me until 1997. Best money I ever spent other than for a 7 x 57 Steyr Mannlicher Model M Professional that I bought in 1976 for 425 dollars. I am taking that one to South Africa next year. A retirement present to myself.

If Joyce was still alive he would be shocked at the digital scales we have today, the internet where people all over can share a killer load/bullet powder combination, free floated barreled rifles, the scopes in current production, micrometer seating dies, portable chronographs or even doppler chronographs and few others that I forgot to mention. I am willing to bet he would be impressed that Hornady has put a plastic tip on the end of a bullet (an idea quite strange but normal to us of this day and age).

My dad had the same Hornady reloading manual shown in the video. It probably pre-dated the Lee Loader we started with for .30/30 in the late 1970s. Back in that day commercial ammuntion was considered acceptable if it gave a 3"group at 100 yards with a rifle and 3" with a handgun at 25 yards. Using the reloader cut the group size down to about modern standards of 1" groups and there was a considerable cost savings in loading your own. (primers $1-2 per 100, IMR 4320 or IMR 4350 powder $3.25 /LB and $6-10 per 100 for bullets.) Once fired brass was usually picked up for free from a range or for a minimal cost at a gun shop. In the early 1990s commercial manufactured ammo began to be almost as good and cheap as reloading. UPS Haz Mat fees for shipping put a lot of people out of reloading. It became cheaper to stockpile ammo than components.

What a great old film. Joyce Hornady was the man. I have seen the snippets where he talked qbout varmint accuracy, and where he lit both powders on the bench and did the hairspray trick. Great to see the whole thing. I love how he shows and introduces his employees, and how the designers, engineers, and plant supe have little segments. Their coklective knowledge must have been astounding. The animations explaining the physics and the in chamber hallenings are very well done and very informative. I gained a greater understanding of headspace almost instantly. Reinforcing the benefits of neck sizing only is always helpful, especially for a new reloader. They should put this on DVD and sell it with their presses and starter kits. Thanks for posting it. I hope there are more

Great video! Yep, in 9th or 10th grade, before I had a trimmer, I popped an empty out of my .220 which had a belt on it like a magnum. Wasn't a heavy load on the powder side, but a stretched neck. These guys (along with counterparts at Sierra, Speer, Nosler, etc) were giants. If we see farther with our fast twists & VLD's, it's because we stand on their shoulders.

Man, what a great old video. I was earlier thinking how Hornady has really stepped up meeting my reloading needs over the last 2yrs with all the shortages. I mostly have Hornady Bullets in different calibers and have brass in 2 different rifles. Calibers, each rifle has 100 pieces of virgin brass I am keeping as backup. I resorted back to when I was 26 yrs old and broke because I just spent all my money on the new gun. I was necking down brass or necking up brass. This year, I got tired of just cleaning the guns of dust and decided to shoot too hell with the cost and shortages. Thank you, Hornady, for stepping up meeting the demand. I can not say that about your competitors. I will remember this going forward.

This has to have been filmed sometime around 1968 to 1970. I still have a Hornaday Manual that is shown in this film. I am sure I have seen this one way back when at some point. The Hornaday 139 gr SP 7mm FB. is a favorite in my old 7 x 57. I killed a lot of deer and other game with that particular bullet. They are even better now than they were way back when I started handloading in 1968!

I'm not a big fan of what Hornady Mfg. has evolved into... But I have absolute respect for Joyce Hornady and his contemporaries like Roy Weatherby and John Nosler. Americans who changed the firearms industry with their dedication to accuracy and precision. Technology and loading methods have changed since this film was produced. But the fundamentals displayed within are still sound. I recommend anyone considering taking up reloading to watch it. The animation and explanations of the forces involved are incredibly instructive.

While “we” have made leaps and stride since these days, we stand on the shoulders of Joyce and many others. One thing I was really surprised about was how similar the reloading equipment is. Ok, no micrometers, digital powder measures, bullet/headspace comparators but the rest could be sitting on my bench today.

Saving some cash on the ammo and learning how to reduce the weapon impact on my accuracy so I can continue to miss entirely on my own skills might be a step up.
