If you’re in the market for a new set of rifle dies, the sheer number of options and types of dies can be a bit overwhelming! Lee rifle dies have a great reputation for value and performance, but there are a total of seven die set types available from Lee (in almost every conceivable chambering), […]
It’s been a great year, and I want to wish everyone out there a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! I’m hoping that you are able to celebrate with friends and family, perhaps enjoy a walk in the snow, and hopefully get some great shooting/reloading presents! I’m feeling excited looking forward to the next year here on Ultimate […]
I love Harris bipods- right out of the box they work great, and they are quite affordable. But there are some things you can do to make these bipods work even better. Take for instance the Harris S-BRM which features integrated swivel feature. One of the first things I did to my S-BRM was to […]
I’m going to load a bunch of 9mm today! That was my plan, and I couldn’t wait to go shoot a bunch of the ammo with my Glock 17. Everything was going “great” until I noticed the powder level seemed to be getting higher as I was loading. “That just doesn’t look right” I thought. […]
Priming cases is one of the most important steps in the ammunition reloading process. It can also be the most frustrating! If you want to optimize your reloading workflow, it’s imperative that you have a priming setup that’s easy to use and performs up to your expectations. In this post, I’m going to show LEE’s […]
There’s nothing quite like the anticipation when you’re about to take a new gun to the range. You may have had your eye on a particular firearm for a long time, or put one on special order. Then comes the moment when you load the magazine and prepare for those first shots. That’s what I […]
This is one of the most exciting times of the year for shoppers: Black Friday. Shooters and reloaders will find all sorts of great deals this week, and one of the great places to shop this Black Friday is Midsouth Shooters Supply! They are running some great deals on shooting/reloading supplies and gear, and are […]
For value-minded rifle buyers, there’s never been a better time than right now! Over the last 10 years, the “standard equipment” list of features and attributes for entry-level rifles has gotten better and better. If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be able to buy a rifle for $350-ish that was loaded with […]
Here in the USA, we’ve all been waiting for today- November 8th, 2016. It’s perhaps the most controversial and unbelievable election yet. Today, I have a simple ask of each and every Ultimate Reloader reader/viewer out there who is registered to vote in the USA: please take the opportunity to make your voice heard by […]
You may be familiar with the “production” it can be to go rifle shooting. It may go something like this: plan your range day, get your gun cases out, open the safe and grab some rifles, pack the cases, load up the truck, drive to the range, take multiple trips to unload the truck, get […]
I don’t like to spend a lot of money on brass- and I know I’m not alone! One of the great things about the .25-45 Sharps cartridge is the fact that you can take everyday .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO brass and form it into 25-45 Sharps. You can even take previously fired .223 or […]
I was excited to be one of the first people to try out the new L.E. Wilson full-length bushing-type sizing die. When I got my .243 Winchester version, it was literally one of the first off the production line, and I picked it up from L.E. Wilson president Daniel Reichert himself! Since then, Dan has […]
After months of planning, getting my rifles, and setting them up- it’s finally time to start loading .25-45 Sharps! I’m not sure exactly why, but every time I start to load for a new cartridge, I get a feeling of anticipation and excitement. It’s one of the great things about ammunition reloading as a hobby- […]
If you’ve been wanting to streamline your reloading workflow and have multiple presses, now is the time to take a look at the Inline Fabrication UltraMount with Quick-Change! Here’s a video I put together showing how this system works: I have some good news: for a limited time, via an exclusive Ultimate Reloader Deal, you […]
I guess you could say it was predictable: Right after the 2016 shooting in Orlando Florida, politicians followed the typical knee-jerk “playbook” – we need to ban so-called assault rifles, right? Wrong. I’m a strong believer that restricting law-abiding citizens from buying guns as counter-productive and harmful. Just like “no gun signs” in buildings, businesses, parks, […]
Hey everyone, I’m excited about my new Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24mm scope (see yesteday’s post) – and I have good news. I’ve reached out to Midsouth Shooters Supply, and we’ve put together a special deal for those of you that want to save on this awesome scope! If you have an AR-15, and you’re looking […]
