The Ultimate Reloader Reloading Blog
It’s been fun getting to know the Ruger Precision Rifle platform. It’s a precision shooting instrument, but you can only get maximum precision if you reload for your rifle. There are so many variables specific to each instance of each specific rifle that can affect the precision of the ammunition you shoot. Some of these […]
Recently, I’ve become a big fan of Vortex Optics, specifically the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50mm scope that I’ve been using on my Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. So what’s the latest and greatest from Vortex? Here’s a quick overview of some of the new products from Vortex for 2016. Vortex Optics Razor HD LH Riflescopes […]
The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP 5 station progressive reloading press is a popular tool for loading both pistol and rifle ammunition. I’ve published a lot of content related to this press, but one thing I have not yet covered is unboxing- so here you go! Time to take a look up close at the very latest (2016) version of […]
For 2016, Hornady has unleashed a bunch of exciting new products- two that I’m particularly excited about are the new Lock-N-Load Iron press (I will be covering that in detail shortly!) and the new line of bullets including ELD-X and ELD Match bullets. I just got my hands on some ELD-X bullets, and I’m really […]
It’s pretty exciting to upgrade to a 7-station reloading press. I’ve often thought “I don’t *NEED* a couple more stations, but it shure would be nice!”. Well now I have that chance, the opportunity to “stretch out and move about the cabin” as it were with my die station utilizations. Following on the heels of […]
A big part of the satisfaction in reloading your own ammunition is the fact that you have made something “custom”. You can customize the economics (Read: you are cheap and want to save money), the ballistics, the recoil, and a multitude of other factors related to ammunition. So why not have some fun with your […]
Hey everyone- hoping you are having a great Christmas day this year! Hopefully you aren’t sick (as many of us get this time of year) but rather enjoying time with family and friends. Perhaps you’ll even get a chance to shoot with friends, or head down to the shop to do some reloading together and share […]
It’s been fun working with the new RCBS Pro Chucker 5, but things are about to get even more exciting. Yes, it’s time to add the RCBS Pro Chucker 7 into the mix! This 7-station progressive auto-indexing is the “big brother” of the RCBS Pro Chucker 5, and is built on the same frame. While […]
It’s time for Part 7 in the series I’ve been covering on the RCBS Pro Chucker 5. This time we’ll get down-and-dirty loading .223 Remington, something any AR-15 owner will be interested in! I like to show different loading setups in each blog/video, and this time I thought I would try the “.223 equivalent” of […]
When it came time to go deer hunting this year, I didn’t have to think long before deciding to take the Ruger Precision Rifle rather than my light-weight 30-06. Yes, this rifle is heavier, but I was curious to find out if it was something I could hike all day with. It actually took me […]
Hello everyone! I’m really excited to finally be able to share the new Ultimate Reloader website with you. I’ve been super-busy in the last few months with camera and studio upgrades (including shooting in 4K resolution), re-launching the YouTube channel, kicking-off the Ruger Precision Rifle project, onboarding new partners, and now re-launching this website. It’s […]
In my last post, I took you all to the range to try out two Ruger Precision Rifles at both 600 yards range, and at 1000 yards range. A great day, and great performance for these two rifles. In this post, I want to invite you to enjoy a new experience on Ultimate Reloader: the […]
In my last post, I walked through the unboxing, overview, setup, and sight in of the Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. With only a quick 100-yard sighting completed, I was off to the range the next morning with Jim Findlay and the 6.5 Guys: Ed Mobley and Steve Lawrence. Sure, I had fired a […]
I’m very excited to kick off a new content series that will feature the Ruger Precision Rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor and 243 Winchester cartridges, as well as in-depth reloading and shooting coverage. The Ruger Precision Rifle will serve as the platform I’ll use to push my long-range shooting skills to the next level (or two, or […]
Hey everyone! Wanted to let you know about some exciting changes coming to the Ultimate Reloader website and YouTube channel. Shortly, you’ll start to see the roll-out of an updated Ultimate Reloader that will sport a new “look and feel” as well as some other great improvements. Here’s a preview of the new logo for […]
I recently wrote about the importance of using a rifle case gage when loading rifle ammunition. Well, it’s equally as important to use a case gage when loading pistol ammunition, so that’s what I’ll cover in this post! I’ll demonstrate using a case gage for both autoloaders (using 40 S&W as an example) and for […]
