Hands-On: New RCBS Vibratory Case Polisher

Cleaning cases is where the ammunition reloading process starts. Cleaning, sorting, and final brass prep are critical activities if you want great results with your ammunition. However fundamental these processes are, they are seldom characterized as the “fun part” of reloading- more like chores to get to the more satisfying activities. Having the right tools […]

New Bottleneck Rifle Brass from Starline

Many of you are familiar with Starline- manufacturer of fine reloading brass. Recently, Starline has expanded their product offerings to include a selection of bottleneck rifle cases- in many popular chamberings (see Starline’s press release). I just got my hands on a bunch of this brass, and wanted to give you an “up close look” […]

Ultimate Reloader Deal: Get a $50.00 Brass Credit From Capital Cartridge

If you reload your own ammunition, there’s one thing you can’t get enough of, and that’s brass! It’s always nice to have a good supply to load so that you can clean and prep brass in batches, and do so  less frequently. Perhaps you need brass, and if you do, now’s the time to stock […]

Del-Ton AR-15 Rifle Build Part II: Free Float Handguard Upgrade from Midsouth Shooters Supply

Building your dream AR-15 is really only the beginning of the “journey”. It’s only a matter of time before you’ll want to start the upgrade process. And that’s fine, because upgrading your AR-15 is part of the fun of owning it! Recently, I built an AR-15 from a Del-Ton kit from Midsouth Shooters Supply, and I’ve been […]

Ultimate Reloader is now Ad-Free on YouTube

Ever since starting my YouTube channel for Ultimate Reloader, I’ve been *really* underwhelmed with the earnings YouTube ads bring. It’s a fact that YouTube doesn’t pay well, but when you’re a shooting sports channel, things are really pathetic. Add to that recent political blacklisting and demonetization issues related to YouTube, and things just get worse. […]

Second to None: Reloading and Shooting 500 S&W Magnum

There are a few things I’d put into the “you have to try this” category, and 500 S&W Magnum is definitely one of them. Unleashing 2600 ft-lb of energy, you’d think this handgun would be totally unmanageable, but it isn’t. With an integrated muzzle brake and compensator, the S&W500 revolver is very extreme to shoot, […]

Seven Minute Del-Ton AR-15 Kit Build Step-By-Step

Are you like me? Do you have a few spare AR-15 stripped lower receivers laying around that need rifles built from them? Now is a *great* time to build an AR-15 because component prices are low, and kits/parts are in stock! For years I’ve been wondering about Del-Ton kits, and I’d like to share with […]

M60 -vs- Laser Printer: Taking Care of Business

It was looking like the perfect weekend: Having a bunch of friends over, having a Type 07 FFL bring a collection of machine guns to the event, and a theme: “Death to the Printer”. This was a printer that I’ve struggled with many times over the last 8 years: random “offline” state, spurious low toner […]

Ultimate Reloader Deal: 20% Off 45 Long Colt Brass at Capital Cartridge

Why are some types of handgun brass so hard to find? If you’re talking about revolver brass, it’s because it’s easy to collect and take home. Some revolver brass is more rare than others, further complicating your endeavor to find it at the range for pick-up. 45 Long Colt is a great example: I’m trying […]

Ultimate Reloader is Moving to the Country!

Have you ever had a dream that was so compelling that you just *knew* it was your calling? Four and a half years ago I had a dream- to stand on my own acreage on my 40th birthday. After looking all over the place, we found the “perfect” opportunity- 31 acres of land with a partially […]

High-Performance 7.62x39mm Reloads for the AK-47

A lot of people love to collect and Shoot AK-47 style rifles, and for good reason. The AK platform is very practical, can be cost effective (in good political climates), is extremely reliable, is hard hitting, and these rifles have an epic legacy. Many AK owners do a lot of shooting, but very few reload their […]

Century Arms N-PAP AK: Scope and Scope Mount

Spring is here, and it’s time to do some outside shooting, a LOT of outside shooting! Part of this season change for me is the opportunity to resume the AK and 7.62x39mm shooting/reloading project I kicked off before Winter. I’ve already gotten some rounds through my Century Arms N-PAP AK variant, and next I’m going […]

Overview: Precision Prep Tool and Accessories From Little Crow Gunworks

In my last post, I featured the Little Crow Gunworks “World’s Finest Trimmer”. Well, I’ve done a lot of trimming, so now it’s time to finish the brass prep on all of that brass! This time, I thought I would feature some thing just a little different: a hand brass prep tool that is unique, […]

If you are like me, you pick up brass at every opportunity- saving money is one of the big reasons why I reload my own ammunition. The problem? Finding what you want! Sure, it’s easy to find 38 Special brass at the range, but I can never find enough once-fired 357 Magnum brass (I load […]

Overview: World’s Finest Trimmer (WFT) From Little Crow Gunworks

Great reloaded rifle ammunition is about many things, but none are more important than case prep.

RCBS Full-Length Competition Die Set in .243 Winchester

One of the great things about reloading ammunition is the wide variety of tools, equipment, components, cartridges, and firearms that you get to work with. Just when you think you’ve tried everything, you learn of a new powder, cartridge (Ex: 22 Nosler, sounds interesting!), press, rifle, or bullet. That’s what makes shooting and reloading a […]

.25-45 Sharps AR-15 Part 6: LEE .25-45 Sharps Dies Overview

One of the challenges with picking up a “new” cartridge to reload is finding the right dies at the right price. .25-45 Sharps is becoming more popular with AR-15 shooter and reloaders, and the industry is responding with new products that give reloaders more options.

Overview: iGaging OriginCal 0-6″ Absolute Origin Digital Calipers

To be honest, I didn’t spend much time “shopping” for the digital calipers I’ll talk about in this post. This last November, my father-in-law was asking for my “Christmas list”, and I thought to myself: “how about a set of digital calipers?”. I spent all of 5 minutes perusing Amazon glancing at products and reviews, […]
