Chapter 1: What is TitanX and how does it enhance reloading?
Camouflage isn't just for the woods. It's for looking cool. Camerado makes gear that disappears in nature but looks good at Costco. Zero tactical cringe. Camerado. C-A-M-O-R-A-D-O dot com.
Standard disclaimer, folks. you probably will hear from episode to episode recipes for what we do. Remember, we're telling you what we do. We're not telling you what you should do. What you should do is you should stick with published loads. So, you know, we disavow any responsibility
for damages done because you might not be following a safe and careful reloading practice that Jeremy or I or Jason or Trevor or Mike might be following. And it could possibly be the fact that you might have a tighter chamber. You might have a looser rifling. You might not get the velocity we do or you might get more.
If you're going to take and reload, understand you're responsible for what you do. We are not.
Welcome to the Reloading Podcast, here on the Firearms Radio, presented by Patriot Patch Company and Camera. How's everybody tonight?
Doing pretty good. Pretty good. Waiting on the final delivery of my . They finally shipped it.
That was nice of them.
And you?
What you been up to? I'm pissed off because Rumble's not coming. I'm beginning to hate the software. That, and I can't find the plug for IntelliDropper.

Chapter 2: What safety precautions should be taken when reloading?
I had a long discussion with my heart doctor. Try this. We did.
It's a big difference.
everybody enjoy the show that we had last week yeah i'm gonna be around a little longer answer encapsulated yeah we around the guys you're gonna have them on again we covered a lot of maybe if we can ever get it direct call in over your head yeah it was over my head too and i i like math that uh little uh calculation for twist rate was uh yeah you know shot down miller formula really really fast but uh
Need a CAD drawing of the bullet to figure everything out. So there's a little few things that go on with it that we just can't do. But a lot of the stuff that he explained to us was all doable. He's just looking at it a little differently than we do.
Well, not so much ballistically, but mechanically, I have a little bit of knowledge that makes me very dangerous to play around with some of this stuff. But I don't mind experimenting to find things out. So that's talking with him, and it was enlightening. He liked a couple of my answers that I gave him. I think the best one he liked was when I said that primers lie.
And I think that was probably the longest running show we've ever had.
Mm-hmm.
So Alaska Russ, definitely. Yeah. You have to experiment as a hand loader. Well, you're still in the 40s. Wow.
It's 47 here today.

Chapter 3: How can reloading practices vary based on equipment used?
Just annoyingly frustrating. Yeah. So anyway, another beautiful day here in bullshit land. I now have lost the power cord for Frankfurt Arsenal and Teledrapper. So yeah, at this point in time, fuck it. So here is one bright spot over the week. I got a new toy. Courtesy of Manus.
Oh, truth. I would do that. Anytime someone asks, we put one together to do a team's broadcast.
Sorry if there was crack on display. I didn't realize it at first. Hang on a second. I'll be right back.
I'm not worried about charging anything. I just feel that I just have to give back to everybody out here. That's just the way I am. Learn from somebody and then you got to pay it back. So that's not a big deal. Teams, no one likes snow odor. So we don't talk about it because here in the States, it causes lots of problems driving and
people forgetting how to uh drive in in the uh in that white stuff and lots of car accidents and all kinds of and truths um on a teams does microsoft charge you for for uh uh using teams alaska russ no one's ready for that forward yet don't know how to use an annealer okay we can do that i uh
I get mine up here and get a little different setup here, and we can go through that and show what's actually going on. Single stage press, you know, progressive press, semi-progressive press, it don't matter. The way you set it up matters, but it can all be done. And I'm thinking you're talking about a flame annealer, unless you're ready to find that burst fire.
Okay.
So first off, what I want to do is I want to go to the app store search. I want laser Academy in this particular spot, because that's what I'm going to use. So I've got it right here. You got your Manus X pistol app also for the black beard, no cost for the software. So while we're doing that, I'll open up the laser Academy, which I've showed off before.
Um, this is the deluxe edition, which basically they've got two editions. They've got the basic edition, which is this, um, mount for your camera tripod, your little laser adapter, um, was in a caliber of your choosing, um, a rod to pop it back out of the barrel targets and then thing, uh, little sticky things to hang on the wall. So you don't damage your wall.

Chapter 4: What features does the Laser Academy app offer for training?
So we're going to show this off. This kind of gives you an option. You've got drills. You've got courses. So you've got training course, pistol, pistol, market and ship course, then a test when you're done. They've got tutorials, open shooting. Basically, everything that's pro is with the pro app. Otherwise, everything else is pretty much available.
You know, they've got the Konami code, and they've got a bunch of different targets. I don't know if I have the Konami code target, so I don't think I can actually. I don't think I do.
Yes, Eric, that's how you find it. You order a new power cord for it, and you will locate the old one as soon as you complete the transaction.
Yep.
And there's something about wall warts and 12-volt power connections that seem to grow legs and walk off on you.
Yep. So, yeah, I don't have that target, so I can't do it. So you can do open shooting multi-targets, single targets. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to pick three different targets here. And then they just slide in like this, like so. So I'm going to use the B27, the IDPA, and the IPSC. Yes, putting the IDPA and IP together. Why? Because I can.
So what I'll usually do is I'll take, and it's basically like a key ring that the targets slide into. So I'll take a thumb and push it apart a little bit just to make it easier to slide the target in.
truth you can run your brass longer but if you start to soften the case head up then you run into a problem so the idea is to get the neck and shoulder area hot enough returns it back to factory set hardness now i'm using the ipad because i wanted you guys to be able to see the screen better but normally it's something unless you actually have like a tablet holder
it's better to use your phone because they've got the phone tripod and holder. And I'm going to, for ease of operation here, I'm going to pop the iPad out of its case, theoretically. So I'm going to select open shooting multi-target. And as you can hear, there's sound effects. And we are going to switch to the phone because the iPad doesn't want to pick it up in the ass. Always something.

Chapter 5: How does the TitanX compare to other reloading tools?
So, um, it also works with the Mantis X program. Um, the one thing I didn't figure out about that yet was why the laser stays on. So on this one, it, uh, Uses the actual phone as the target. So if you can kind of see that. What I'll do is I'll hit start. Shooter ready. I'm starting a low ready. And basically it's just literally a shot timer. Oh, okay. So based on the laser hitting the screen.
Or in this case, the trigger. So you can use this as a shot timer. Like for the X10 when you get it. Okay. It's got a built-in shot timer as one of the apps. So you can set up your.
left or right-handed it's got it set up for doing holster training this is going to be a marksmanship drill so i'm going to hit start on that and basically it's and what it's showing right now is that i'm moving every time i pull the trigger look low and left who'd have thunk it so but i'm also not locked out like i should be see now as soon as you saw that it went up as soon as i locked out like i should have been it was up in the right a little bit and it tracks you
as you're going around. So, and it scores it. The idea is it's going to be a lot further away from using that. For this, the power button is on the top here. If you want to use it as the Manus X program, like if I'm using it with the Laser Academy, I don't have to hit that because I'm not trying to pair it with anything. But I turned it off, so now it's looking for it.
So it says possible causes, healing, and anticipating recoil. And then what you can do is you can look at graphs of data The yellow is trigger press movement and the blue is hold movement. So, and it kind of shows, keep in mind, it's actually like this and that's kind of the way I'm moving the gun. So, and then it's got a spot you can leave notes if you want.
And then what it's got is it's got a setting on here where I can actually hit reset and I hit start and it'll actually show my movement in real time. So it's showing the gun moving so you can see it. You can tell when I got it locked out, it's a little more stable, but not much. And so it's tracking.
And it tracks movement more than anything, so I don't have to necessarily... I mean, you can point it at the wall or whatever you want, but it'll show all that as you're live firing. The regular MANIS program also works at the range.
That helps so you can learn your tracking, how your sights are tracking, and how you're handling the recoil.
So basically the Titan... X is their answer to the Blackbeard X for pistol. Okay. And you can change settings about you. You can change if it's right-handed or left-handed. If you're using it on a pistol or a rifle, then it's got different settings. You can also export the data if you want. So it's got your instruction guide and all that fun stuff.

Chapter 6: What are the benefits of using an induction annealer for brass?
If they don't give you a save option, what you do is you print and then save as PDF, kids. I'll save that, and it saves as a PDF. I think most of their targets you can do that with, but you've got to have your printer set on a decent quality. Otherwise, it won't. More rail adapters, more mag adapters. Steiner Torex aiming laser for integrated mantis X. This is for the Tavor. Oh, okay.
Laser Academy. Bell's Target that you can print out again. Here's more menace swag. They have holsters for some of the more common guns that are already set up to use with the X3 or the X10, so it's appropriately spaced and everything. Archery sight rail adapter, so if you're going to use it on your bow, like I said, on 10, you can use on the bow.
M-LOK rail adapter, more mag adapters, a cleaning mat if you want. It's actually pretty good quality, honestly. Chris was working on a cleaning mat for us, but we just can't get the right size. He's not able to find the right size. Um, I have no idea what the heck this is, but I got to look.
Oh, we got to have him send us one of those.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure they'll get right on that.
Yeah.
Capable of handling over a hundred simultaneous connections and 150 megabit MBPS rates. The rab allows you to transmit your shooting data real time to coaches, marksmanship, instructors, decision makers, and stakeholders. Yeah. Interesting. I love Manus, but I think for that price, I'm just going to get Starlink. Yeah. Give Elon money.
Elon, yeah.
So, but yeah, I mean, like, here's another, here's a holster for... I don't even know what it says, RCS. So if you're looking to get a little less expensive and you're only using, you know, pistol, you can go with the X3. The X3 actually, I believe, also works with shotguns and rifles, even airsoft and CO2s. You can set up a group.

Chapter 7: What insights can be gained from using the Mantis X system?
Yeah. I mean, you could grab the five, you know, like the, or the laser Academy, you could, you know, set up the five IDPA IPSC targets.
Right. And I bet if I talked to him and said, I want five bullseye targets, round bullseye targets and,
Oh, they give you three in the Laser Academy setup.
So, but I'm saying if I want five round targets and, you know, I got the rectangular IDPA or IPSC targets, I can use those as my rectangles and from there.
Passage target?
Yeah.
Dot torture?
Oh, there you go.
Silhouette headshot? The dirt board? Yeah, there you go. Number hunt. This one here, it'll tell you what number you got to shoot. You can go through and shoot all the number. Okay.

Chapter 8: How can listeners engage with the Reloading Podcast community?
With 92, with the 17-round magazines, if you're shooting something that was designed for a six-shot revolver, you could pretty much do the whole entire course of fire without having to reload.
Well, yeah, but reloads were mandatory. Right. So you would still have to, you would fire six rounds, drop your mag, load up another mag, fire another six rounds, depending upon. Time limits were like 30 seconds, okay, for seven yards to 90 seconds at 90. you know, 25 yards, you know, all afternoon. Okay. I could take all day and sit down and shoot the course. Nice. Yeah.
You know, and then we, we show them what a real draw was like. And in those days we were using leather holsters and everything else, not the Kydex like that we have nowadays, which are much faster. Right. And these guys would sit down and look at us like, huh, can you show us how to do that again?
So yeah, definitely a challenge.
But it's a challenge for everybody out there to improve themselves so they can safely carry and defend themselves with a handgun if you have a permit. I mean, it's easy to strap one on. It's much harder to know what to do, how to do it, and everything else, even though you think it's really simple. It's not. It's not. Okay. Yeah, I can see that, Alaska Russ.
Four-legged creatures can get a little rough in your area. But even some of them, ovarian four-legged creatures that weigh, you know, 100 pounds can be a little dangerous. So, all right. Anything else? All right. If anybody has any other questions on... The Manus, reach out. The Manus, reach out.
As far as reloading and that kind of stuff, Mike and I are going to talk about doing a... We're going to do another series.
Yeah, but I'm... But we've got to do casting first.
Right, but there's... They talked about getting... Oh, yeah, Patreon only.
