How to Reload a Bullet

The first thing to do when reloading a bullet is to get your shells ready, and lubricate them with a special grease made for bullets. Next, you secure them in the press and turn the handle 180 degrees and the shell should go straight up into the top of the press and the primer should pop out, if it doesn’t and your shell will not come out, then you have not used enough lubricant. To remove it without damaging the resizer, you unscrew the die and screw it back in upside down, next, screw hole in the bottom of the bullet with a special screw that allows a bolt to go in. next take a bolt that will fit through the hole and put two nuts on it, then screw it in and the pressure with pull the bullet shell off the die and if the resizer is still inside the shell, make the hole in the front of the shell big enough to allow the resizer to slide out. These steps are only if you get your bullet jammed, in continuing the procedure of properly reloading a bullet, lubricate it, then turn the handle and the old primer should pop out and fall into the container. The next step in reloading is to put in a new primer, for this there is a miniature press and the way it works is you turn it so that the new primer slides into place and squeeze the handle until it goes all the way in. Next calculate how much gunpowder to use, and put it in the shell, be very carful not to spill any of it, put the nice new bullet on the shell with the powder and place it in the press, pull the handle down and depending on how much powder you used, there may or may not be a crunch. After removing your bullet you should have a nice new beautiful result.
            Below there is a diagram showing the parts of a bullet, number 1 shows the nice new bullet, number 2 shows the shell filled with gunpowder, number three is the gunpowder itself, number 4 is the bottom of the shell with the rim, and number five is the primer.
