This week “gavintoobe” (my YouTube channel that hosts Ultimate Reloader) had the odometer “roll over” 150,000 subscribers. WOW! I wanted to take a moment to celebrate this milestone, and also thank all who have helped me make it to this point.

To put this in perspective, in the picture below you can see approximately 109,000 people that have gathered for a soccer match:

Thanks To All of You: the Shooting Sports Community

I want to extend a personal “thank you” to everyone out there in the shooting sports community that has supported this website, the gavintoobe YouTube channel, and the Making With Metal website. I couldn’t do this without you all. I enjoy reading the comments and interacting with all of you! THANK YOU!

Thanks to the Industry

I also appreciate all of the companies (large and small), and subject matter experts that have collaborated with and partnered with to create what Ultimate Reloader has become. Without access to engineers, product managers, tech support pros, retailers, (and others) I wouldn’t be able to do what I do. Again, THANK YOU!

Onward and Upward

This 150,000 YouTube subscriber milestone is VERY EXCITING, but here are Ultimate Reloader- we are more excited about what’s next. Sooo  many good things are happening, and we’re working on some truly awesome new capabilities and facilities/tools. To name a few:

• Ridgeline 100 yard test facility: night illumination, concrete bench, reloading room, and more
• Advanced Sporting Optics Testing
• Recoil measurement (with high-speed data acquisition rig)
• More shootouts (10 Progressive Presses is next!)
• More awesome rifle builds
• More scientific testing scenarios (TESTED stories)
• More products and shooting scenarios

Stay tuned to find out what’s next! Don’t miss out on Ultimate Reloader updates, make sure you’re subscribed!

Thanks,
Gavin
