Over the years I’ve used a lot of different handgun powders. In the 1970s and 1980s, it was primarily Bullseye, Unique and 2400—powders that are no longer readily available. I often used Unique as a general purpose powder, useful for every handgun cartridge I loaded. It was a great powder, but in those days it […]
The Dillon XL750 is a very popular progressive reloader among both pistol and rifle shooters. We recently completed a massive bulk .223 loading process on this press.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of enjoying a niche or less popular round is ammunition costs. You’ll find multiple bullet weights and brands of 9mm and .223 ammunition at every sporting goods store. Such isn’t the case with .357 SIG. Reloading used to be the surefire way to save, but components have risen in price. […]

Unquestionably, 9mm is the self-defense caliber of choice for a majority of people. It’s effective, has much less recoil than the .45, and is far less expensive to shoot. However, some still believe “bigger is better” theory when it comes to bullets. I’ll happily concede that I’m a confirmed fan of the .45 ACP, particularly […]
Tuning a rifle to perform across different configurations can be challenging, especially if you’re switching between supersonic and subsonic ammo or using a suppressor. In this story, we’ll see what it takes to tune the CMMG Banshee 300 BLK with the Ultradyne Quantum Adjustable Gas Block, to give us the best shooting experience. Disclaimer Ultimate […]
Berry’s 220 grain 10mm flat nose thick plate bullet is a welcome addition to their extensive lineup of target bullets. It caters specifically to the group of shooters who wish to use a very heavy bullet from their 10mm pistol. For target practice, handloads built with this bullet can substitute quite nicely for the expensive […]
We’ve been shooting a lot of .308 lately —in fact —we are out! We need to crank out a ton more, so this was a great time to set up a progressive press. I’ve been working with the Frankford Arsenal X-10 lately. Along the way, I’ve come across some notable gear like the Frankford Arsenal […]
Bulk processing over 40,000 .223 cases from Mojo Precision on the Mark 7 Apex 10 was just the start of the process. We decapped using FW Arms dies and Berdan Sentry, resized with the Lyman carbide pro die, and trimmed with the Mark 7 Power Trim Xpress. We decided to run a dedicated priming session […]
Berry’s 220 grain spire point .300 AAC Blackout bullets are one of my top five favorite bullets. I’ve loaded them in .300 Blackout, 7.62x39mm, and .308. What’s the trick to optimizing twist rate for better subsonic performance?
