Dear Reloader’s Network, Hello, and welcome to my first attempt at an article ever. My name is Norton’s Ammo Bench, and I thought that the best way to get me feet wet in this new arena was for me to introduce myself and give you an idea of what I’m about. My future posts will be […]

I'm 19 years old and I have very little experience with rifles, or even hand guns at this point. I am aware of the idea of long-range shooting but truly don't know much beyond you shoot at a target that is far away. I am unfamiliar with cartridges, bullet weights and even brands of rifles. I was watching Public Enemies and see Melvin Pervice run the bolt on a Mauser 98 and think to myself, I want a bolt-action rifle. But what brand should I buy?

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.

I am starting load development for the 300 Win Mag and I am not off to a good start.  I talk about what I have determined and where I am going from here.

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 a couple different topics: 1) Some changes to how my content is delivered 2) The Reloaders Network Multi-Authors Live Stream 3) Future content

It's time to finally get started with reloading for the Thompson Center Compass 300 Winchester Magnum.

In this video I update the Thompson Center Compass project chambered in 300 Win Mag. In this video we are exploring if we move our projectile closer to the lands we get better groups. This was a $200 rifle that we are going to test to see how accurate it can be with a very […]

In this video I update the Thompson Center Compass project chambered in 300 Win Mag. This was a $200 rifle that we are going to test to see how accurate it can be with a very budget setup. In this video we go over the first reloads in our Thompson Center Compass and updates moving forward. We discuss why we add a Boyds stock and MCARBO trigger.

It's time for a follow-up video. This time I want to talk about some of the excellent questions, suggestions and information from the comments of the last video. I also load up some more ammo and hit the range again. The 240gr Sierra Match King has a 1:9 twist requirement printed on the box, but I want to see if they'll stabilize in the 1:10 twist Thompson Center Compass barrel. I also continue our work with the 220gr Sierra Match King to see if we can shoot some more good groups with them.

In this video we use the Tubb Final Finish system on our Thompson center compass in 300 Winchester Magnum.

In this video I update the Thompson Center Compass project chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. This was a $200 rifle that we are gong to test to see how accurate it can be with a very budget setup. Shots 6- 10 are a 1 hole group at 50 yards even with poor quality ammunition.

After many requests, it's time to try out the sabots from EABCO. They allow you to shoot 22 caliber bullets in your 30 caliber rifle. These are a lot like the Remington Accelerator ammo that was sold in years past. We're going to test them in 300 Winchester Magnum.

Testing the 208 gr Hornady A-Max with Hodgdon H1000 turns into a successful trip with our Thompson Center Compass chambered in 300 Win Mag.

Using my Glock and Beretta barrels to try out the Super Nano Detergent to clean them. It works pretty good.

Everything seems to be going wrong with my 300 Winchester Magnum Thompson Center Compass. We've got a new Boyd's Pro Varmint Stock and it's looking good, but the groups aren't quite so pretty.

In this video I test fire forming some 300 Winchester Magnum brass and also an idea I had for a bullet stop / catcher.

It’s time for a new 300 Winchester Magnum reloading series. We are attempting to clone the performance of MK 248 Mod 1, a military round that uses the 220gr Sierra Match King.

In this video I update the Thompson Center Compass project chambered in 300 Win Mag. We load up Winchester Brass with the 225 gr HPBT with Hodgdon H4831SC. We use our Satterlee load development style to develop our velocity curve. Velocity data is used to evaluate this combination for future use.

I've installed pillars and glass bedded my T/C Compass 300 Winchester Magnum Boyd's Pro Varmint stock. It's time to see if it will shoot!

300 Win Mag load development with the Thompson Center Compass using the 220 gr Nosler Custom Competition and Hodgdon H1000. Up to this point finding a Low SD load has proven very difficult. We implement the Scot Satterlee load development data that we generated previously and use that information to choose our test loads in […]

It’s time to test the 200gr Sierra Match King #2231 in 300 Winchester Magnum. Johnny's Reloading BenchAn idiot and his reloading press My affiliate links and donation options are on my Author Page. www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ7ZytKrmCQnRp9LXXxinJQ

300 Win Mag load development with the Thompson Center Compass using the 168 Berger Classic Hunter and Alliant Reloder 26. Up to this point find a Low SD load has proved very difficult. We implement the Scot Satterlee load development data that we generated previously and use that information to choose our test loads in our journey to find a great load for our Thompson Center Compass. This was a $200 rifle that we are going to test to see how accurate it can be with a very budget setup.

In this video I update the Thompson Center Compass project chambered in 300 Win Mag. We load up 150 Hornady SP and Hodgdon H1000. We use the Satterlee load development style to evaluate this combo and find a velocity Node to use for our next time with this powder.
