The 25 Creedmoor is quickly gaining traction as a do-it-all cartridge—offering the low recoil of a 6mm with the impact and versatility of a 6.5. We’ve done some testing with handloads —with excellent results —but what about factory ammo? I recently tested a range of new Hornady factory ammo to see how it performs across […]
I’ve long preferred bench priming for bench reloading. Others vehemently support on-press priming and hand-priming has its place. Like much of reloading, it comes down to personal preference. Hornady’s new Versa-Prime features an adjustable-depth stop in a robust bench-priming package. I’m eager to see how I like it! Disclaimer Ultimate Reloader LLC / Making with […]
Botnia Solutions has quickly made a name for themselves, offering some of the best brakes currently available. I had the opportunity to speak with Tobias Lindren, founder of Botnia Solutions, about how Botnia came to be and the technology built into their brakes.

Having the right support bag is critical. Whether you’re in the field hunting, shooting a PRS match, or just at the range trying to shoot some groups, Creedmoor Sports has a wide range of bags available. In this video, I test two of the most popular options: the Soup Can Rest and Freezer Bag. As […]
Manually filling primer tubes can really slow down your reloading efficiency. 100 primers go incredibly quickly on a progressive, and even if you keep several tubes ready, it still takes time to fill them. Earlier this year, we tested Dillon Precision’s RF100. Dillon has improved upon this model with their new Rapid Primer Filler. Will […]
I am a huge GLOCK fan. The grip angle is just right for me and they always run. One of the great things about GLOCK pistols is the sheer volume of aftermarket options to make them your own. This time, I’m upgrading my GLOCK with the Certified Special ACE Trigger System from TriggerTech and will […]

9mm is one of those cartridges that goes FAST. For many, it’s that “just for fun” cartridge as well as the most ubiquitous caliber in many collections. As with anything, proficiency and improvement comes with practice, but practice comes at a cost. I worked up a budget load with Berry’s 9mm 124-Grain HBFP-TP and Berry’s […]
