I don’t like to spend a lot of money on brass- and I know I’m not alone! One of the great things about the .25-45 Sharps cartridge is the fact that you can take everyday .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO brass and form it into 25-45 Sharps. You can even take previously fired .223 or […]
I was excited to be one of the first people to try out the new L.E. Wilson full-length bushing-type sizing die. When I got my .243 Winchester version, it was literally one of the first off the production line, and I picked it up from L.E. Wilson president Daniel Reichert himself! Since then, Dan has […]
After months of planning, getting my rifles, and setting them up- it’s finally time to start loading .25-45 Sharps! I’m not sure exactly why, but every time I start to load for a new cartridge, I get a feeling of anticipation and excitement. It’s one of the great things about ammunition reloading as a hobby- […]
If you’ve been wanting to streamline your reloading workflow and have multiple presses, now is the time to take a look at the Inline Fabrication UltraMount with Quick-Change! Here’s a video I put together showing how this system works: I have some good news: for a limited time, via an exclusive Ultimate Reloader Deal, you […]
I guess you could say it was predictable: Right after the 2016 shooting in Orlando Florida, politicians followed the typical knee-jerk “playbook” – we need to ban so-called assault rifles, right? Wrong. I’m a strong believer that restricting law-abiding citizens from buying guns as counter-productive and harmful. Just like “no gun signs” in buildings, businesses, parks, […]
Hey everyone, I’m excited about my new Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24mm scope (see yesteday’s post) – and I have good news. I’ve reached out to Midsouth Shooters Supply, and we’ve put together a special deal for those of you that want to save on this awesome scope! If you have an AR-15, and you’re looking […]
Deer season is almost here, and I have a lot of work to do in order to get prepared! In this post I’m going to cover my first round of upgrades for my .25-45 Sharps “Range Master” AR-15 from SRC. I have two rifles chambered in .25-45 Sharps- one for close-range work (the Range Master- […]
I’ve been working with RCBS on some issues related to the priming system on the RCBS Pro Chucker (5 and 7) for a while now addressing issues where the primer slider can break. Today, I’m happy to announce that RCBS has replacement primer sliders available for all Pro Chucker owners that will address these issues! Here’s […]
Good news! I’ve partnered with Midsouth Shooters Supply to bring you an “Ultimate Reloader Deal”. Between now and October 13 2016 when you buy a set of LEE pistol dies (Deluxe Pistol Die Set, Carbide 3 Die Set or Steel 3 Die Set) from Midsouth Shooters Supply, you’ll get either a green Midsouth Shooters hat […]
When I started Ultimate Reloader, I had no idea I would ever produce 200 videos, acquire 29,000 subscribers, and rack up nearly 8,000,000 views (averaging 40,000 views per video!). Today I’ve met those goals! It’s been a lot of work, a lot of fun, and has been one of the most satisfying experiences in my life. I […]
If you want to build a precision rifle, you need precision tools. In the same way, if you want to load and shoot precision ammunition, you need the tools that will produce *and* validate the precision of your loads. A good chronograph is one of those tools! In this post I’m going to introduce you […]
I absolutely love the AR-15 rifle platform. The AR-15 is iconic and historic, it’s modular, it’s affordable, it’s compact and light weight, it’s fun to shoot- and it even looks cool! The AR-15 platform is also quite versatile- a great option for defense, target shooting and competition, and even varmint hunting. But what about big game […]
My very first set of reloading dies were LEE 44 Magnum pistol dies that came with the LEE Pro-1000 press that I started out with. Since then, I’ve acquired many more sets of LEE dies ranging from 30-06 to 9mm to 45 ACP to 357 SIG and quite a few in between. LEE Pistol Dies […]
It’s hard to believe we’re already at “Part 11” on the Ruger Precision Rifle series, but there’s so much to cover, and I’m having a ton of fun bringing these stories to you all. This time, we’ll talk about precision reloads end-to-end for the Ruger Precision Rifle in .243 Winchester. Here’s the walk-through video: Hopefully […]
Concealed carry is very much a personal thing. Each individual will have their own requirements and persuasions related to chambering/caliber, carry method, and budgetary constraints just to name a few! I’ve personally carried 1911s in 45 ACP, a snub-nose revolver in 38 Special, a sub-compact in 9mm, my Glock 20 in 10mm, a 6″ 357 […]
The Dillon 550B (and newer RL-550B) are well-known for being solid performers that are simple to setup, and relatively affordable to setup and run. This press may not be loaded with all of the latest features (from what I know it was introduced well over 30 years ago), but it does have a “tried and […]
