I went deer hunting this year, just like I always do. I’ve been invited into a 100 year+ family hunting tradition (same spot every year!) which has truly been an honor. There’s just one problem! The hunting regulations have changed, and that means you’re not likely to see a legal deer. It’s still very much […]
I’ve gotten a LOT of suggestions for stories over the years. The most frequently suggested story? Ultimate Reloader Shop Tour- and here it is! Humble Beginnings The “original” UR studio and shop up at the Ultimate Reloader Ranch is pictured above. It was a single 40′ high-cube shipping container that I used to film on-location […]
It’s always fun to try something new and different. And that’s exactly what I’ll cover in this article!

CMMG Endeavor 300-Series 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10 CMMG is best known for their AR conversion kits (22LR), […]

KMS Squared has just launched two new UFO lights, custom made for these two reloading presses! Let’s see how they work, and how they are installed on these presses. What’s In the Box The UFO M² […]
I’m a HUGE fan of 10mm Auto. It’s powerful, compact, and a great cartridge to carry when “heavy hitting” knock-down power is needed. Where I live we have black bear (lots), and it’s always reassuring to carry something like 10mm or 44 magnum for protection. So when I heard about the new 10mm CMMG Banshee […]

How did I EVER get along without an e-target system? I’ve asked that several times in the last six months or so. That’s when I got my first ShotMarker setup! It has literally changed how I shoot, perform load development, and tell stories. In short, it’s been a game changer! If you are a part […]
Every once in a while I get an idea that I just can’t get out of my head. Recently, I had the thought: “I’m really tired of this pool, it keeps getting punctures, and it’s end of season anyways”. It took about 10 milliseconds for me to connect the dots in my head- “Let’s shoot […]

One of my absolute favorite things about my job is when I meet the people in the industry behind the products we are all familiar with. There’s always a story to hear, and things to learn. During my recent trip to Lyman headquarters, I had the privilege to get to know Lyman CEO Rick Ranzinger […]
Sometimes you have to see something to believe it. I can recall looking though a Hawkeye Borescope for the first time and thinking “wow, that’s CLEAR”. When it comes to gunsmithing, gun inspection, and gun maintenance, a borescope can tell you things that nothing else can. And that’s why a borescope is an invaluable tool […]
Have you ever wondered where the reloading equipment you use comes from? Where and how it is made, who designed it, how things are assembled and tested? I have! And I just got some related first-hand experience when I visited Lyman headquarters in Middletown Connecticut. During my visit I got to see the factory, meet […]
Brass Prep is one of the most important aspects of loading precision rifle ammunition. And one of the most important steps in brass prep is case trimming! I’ve tested a LOT of different case trimmers, but when I saw the Frankford Arsenal Universal Precision Trimmer I thought: “I’ve got to try this tool!”. And that’s […]
