A Cleaner All-Purpose Pistol Powder: Winchester AutoComp

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 […]

NEW: Athlon Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph

Case-Processing on a Dillon XL750

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.

Affordable .357 SIG? Try Berry’s 124 gr Bullet HB FP-TP!

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. […]

TESTED: Caldwell ClayCopter Launcher

Some things don’t change very often. Clay pigeons were invented in 1875 and by 1900 trap shooting had become an Olympic sport. The clay pigeons replaced live birds and glass balls as aerial shotgun targets. Over the past 100+ years, clay pigeons have remained heavy and break easily if dropped. This year, things changed. Enter […]

NEW: Sierra 145 Gr. 6.5mm Tipped GameKing

I started using Sierra Bullets in the 1970s and I’ve always found them accurate and reliable. I’ve used them for competition, on SWAT, and hunting both varmints and big game. I shot out several .308 Winchester barrels at around 6,000 rounds each with .30 caliber 155 and 168 grain Sierra MatchKing bullets. For varmint and […]

Shotgun Upgrade: Boyds Stock for the Mossberg 500

Why swap the stocks on a shotgun? Two primary reasons stand out: to upgrade to stocks that better fit the shooter or to replace worn or cracked stocks. Many shotguns live a hard life, in and out of duck blinds, trucks, boats and exposed to bad weather. Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks offers a variety of replacements […]

Berry’s 230 Grain HHP — High Performance Load for the .45 ACP

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 […]
