A review of the XAegis Safety Glasses. I am very pleased with these glasses, and they are comfortable to wear.

I am continuing down the path of load development with the 300 Winchester Magnum.   In this video I go over some handloads that I have made, give them a try at the range, and look at the results.  Today we give Hodgdon H4895 a try with Hornady 150 grain Interlock bullets.

In this video I go through a process of slugging a barrel for my .45 ACP.  This is my first attempt ever at this process.  I am asking for help in verifying the process as much as anything else.  Please take a moment and let me know it this is correct or if I have […]

This is the first in my 300 Win Mag Load Development Series.  I didn’t feel like making a video on this topic as there is not much to show at the moment.  As I sit here and write this article,  I am hoping that I will end it with my mind being made up.  We […]

In this video I discuss the loads that I am choosing for taking the 224 Valkyrie out to longer ranges.  I have been doing load development at 100 yards and I have found some consistent, repeatable loads that are grouping for me, and giving me the ballistics that I am looking for.  I will go through these loads, and show some targets that I have shot with them.

In this video, I shoot the Hornady 88 grain ELD-Match bullets with Reloder-16 again. I wanted to do some verification on a load that I was seeing some decent results. I also had planed to shoot some other loads but it did not work out. So is life.

Update on the 224 Valkyrie Federal Factory Brass after the fifth firing.

In this video I go over some results that I saw using different primers in load development. I was searching for a node at a particular velocity and not getting there with the primers that I have always used, so I thought I would switch up primers to see what difference that made.

I work through some load development with the Sierra 95 grain Match Kings using Reloder-16 and 85 gr Barnes Match Burners using H4350 and Reloder-16. Some results are good, some not so good.

While I was sorting out some issues with my 224 Valkyrie groups, the topic of neck tension came up, which also lead to the topic of crimping vs not crimping. I was talking with a couple of people on the topic. I currently do crimp my rounds for the 224 Valkyrie, but I wanted to […]
