The Ultimate Reloader Reloading Blog
If you are like me, the thought of playing with gunpowder and bullets is inherently interesting. It goes without saying that it is also very dangerous. I personally feel lucky to have all of my fingers, toes, and other appendages intact (thinking back to 4th of July as a kid). I’d be happy to keep […]
One of my interests is the design and fabrication of custom leather holsters. There’s something about custom-tailoring a carry configuration for your weapon and carry style (and specific weapon) that’s inherently interesting… I’ve been a big fan of the later generation Kel-Tec PF-9 compact pistol. It’s affordable, light-weight, very small, and has functioned very well […]
In this video, you’ll see how to load .223 / 5.56 NATO ammunition for your AR-15 or other rifle with the Lee Loadmaster progressive reloading press. You’ll see die placement, press setup overview, and progressive reloading operation. Stay tuned! We’re going to be covering more Lee Loadmaster reloading here on Ultimate Reloader!
If you have a touch of O.C.D. like I do, you like to keep a clean shop, but your notes in well-organized binders, and you also feel compelled to have neat-and-tidy ammo box labels for your hand-loaded ammo. The tiny labels that come with jacketed bullets (in the box of bullets) are OK if you […]
The recent reloading primer shortage has left many reloaders with few options for primers (if they are available at all). The good news is that some less common primers have surfaced or at least become more popular. I for instance have started using Wolf primers, and so far they have performed well for me both […]
Many of you have purchased the RCBS Pistol Bullet Feed kit- and have enjoyed a more streamlined and efficient pistol reloading experience as a result. But until now, additional bullet feed dies have not been available. This means that if you have to setup the bullet feed die for each caliber that you reload (including […]
If you’re like me, you really appreciate quality tools and equipment. Furthermore, a good value for your hard-earned dollar is always a good thing! For a long time, I’ve had my eye on the Redding Competition series bullet seating dies. Perhaps like me, you’ve spent a while dialing in your COL when loading rifle, and […]
Do you like to learn when you read blogs? Do you like to read about guns, gunsmithing, gun care, and reloading? If you do, you may want to check out Grant Cunningham’s blog: http://grantcunningham.com/blog.html I’ve been reading his blog for years, and have also consulted him on revolver purchases (he’s a big revolver advocate) as […]
Looking for reloading primers? A quick survey of Widener’s online shows that they have a good selection of Wolf and Winchester primers! Not all types are in stock for each brand, but they have all types in stock if you don’t have to have a particular. Specifically, they have the following in stock: Wolf Small […]
This last couple of years has been difficult for reloaders. The shortage of bullets, primers, and powder have made it difficult or impossible for some to reload. This can be extremely frustrating. I’ve read posts online from individuals that have purchased reloading presses, and have had to wait 6 months or longer for the consumables […]
It’s one thing to look at separate pictures of products you’re comparing, but it’s another thing to see products side by side. I’m thinking of some of the great side-by-side picture comparisons I’ve seen for concealed carry pistols- a picture is simply worth 1000 words! I thought I would take the opportunity to take a […]

Here are some links to the videos that are here on www.ultimatereloader.com : Hornady Case Prep Center Overview Hornady Case Prep Center – Rifle – Part I Hornady […]

Shooters tend to be enthusiastic about what they do. Enthusiasts tend to want complete control over their activities. The natural conclusion is that shooters want complete control over their shooting experiences- from plinking to hunting, to competition shooting. Reloading for your weapon affords you more complete control over your shooting experiences. If you want the […]
