Since then I’ve been using this scope a […]

I have been flat-out busy this week getting ready for some killer content here on Ultimate Reloader!

Sorry- was hoping to have published in […]
A suppressor is a very valuable “tool” for your firearms. But it’s REALLY REALLY expensive and difficult to obtain a suppressor in the USA. First you have the tax stamp ($200), the cost of the suppressor and accessories, and then you have up to a year wait (or even more). With all of the hassle […]

My approach to learning a technical subject like long-range shooting is to first understand the “theory”, and then get hands-on with the “practice”. One of the resources I’ve found most helpful in understanding the theory of long range shooting are the Applied Ballistics publications that cover ballistics, long-range rifle shooting, and more. This reading combined […]
A while back one of my viewers on YouTube said: “You’ve got to check out the Präzipress, this thing is AMAZING”. So I looked it up on the internet, and found the product page on the Turban CNC website. I was immediately intrigued- this press design looked different. And I wondered how these presses would […]
