This year, we partnered with Mark 7 Reloading and Mojo Precision to take on our most insane project yet— bulk processing two 55 gallon drums of brass through auto-driven Mark 7 presses. In part one, we processed over 40,000 .223 cases on the Apex 10. Next up is 90,000 pieces of 9mm through the Mark […]
There’s a tendency to think of Berry’s plated bullets as only handgun bullets. This is not the case at all — they produce a number of bullets for popular lever action rifles. Here at Ultimate Reloader we’ve used them in the .30-30, .357 Magnum, and .45-70 lever actions with great success. Disclaimer Ultimate Reloader LLC […]
Over the years I’ve used a lot of different handgun powders. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was primarily Bullseye, Unique and 2400—powders that are no longer readily available. I often used Unique as a general purpose powder, useful for every handgun cartridge I loaded. It was a great powder, but in those days it […]
The Dillon XL750 is a very popular progressive reloader among both pistol and rifle shooters. We recently completed a massive bulk .223 loading process on this press.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of enjoying a niche or less popular round is ammunition costs. You’ll find multiple bullet weights and brands of 9mm and .223 ammunition at every sporting goods store. Such isn’t the case with .357 SIG. Reloading used to be the surefire way to save, but components have risen in price. […]

Unquestionably, 9mm is the self-defense caliber of choice for a majority of people. It’s effective, has much less recoil than the .45, and is far less expensive to shoot. However, some still believe “bigger is better” theory when it comes to bullets. I’ll happily concede that I’m a confirmed fan of the .45 ACP, particularly […]

Frankford Arsenal’s X-10 sports lots of room for a variety of dies and checks. Rather than process brass in one sequence and load in another, today I’m making use of the X-10’s many stations for an end-to-end process.
