Today I present part two in my series on getting started reloading: “Picking the needed equipment”. Hopefully you already read part one and decided to continue. In everything we do let us remember to do things safely and carefully. My guidelines here are to help you pick the needed equipment to reload your own ammunition […]

In this video I discuss load development and results for my 224 Valkyrie using Hornady 53 grain V-Max bullets, H4895, and PowerPro-2000-MR.

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.

Another look at the 120gr Hornady ELD Match bullet in 6.5 Grendel. The test powders are Alliant Power-Pro Varmint and VihtaVuori N133.

Load development for the 224 Valkyrie with Hornady 88 gr ELD-Match bullets.  For this round I use Varget, H4350, and Reloder-16 powders.

Day three of SHOT Show has now concluded.  Today was another full day of wandering around trying to take it all in.  I had already seen just about every booth, so today was more concentrated on going back to see certain items in depth. I started the day by meeting up with Curt and Lacey […]

This is the third video about load development with the Sierra 90 grain MatchKing bullet. I revisit my Reloder-16 and H4350 loads to verify my initial finding and check repeatability. I also discuss my thoughts on how this ended up.

My first look at light bullets for the 6.5 Creedmoor. We test the 85gr Sierra Varminter with Reloder 15 in the T/C Compass and AR-10.

Shooting the 9mm 150 grain test loads OAL of 1.131″ with 3.5 grains Unique Needs a little more work but real close for sure ran well and no issues ThecrazyScotsmanI am a collector of Smith & Wesson Revolvers, in particular the Model 29 .44 Magnum and the Model 19 .357 Magnum. There is nothing like […]

These are the results from my first trip shooting the Sierra 95g match king. I loaded the components into federal brass with Alliant RL-17 sparked by federal AR match primers. I loaded them to magazine length of 2.260 My rifle has a MGM barrel with a 1:7 twist and a 22” length with a Witt machine muzzle rise eliminator brake.

Testing the 130gr Sierra GameChanger in 6.5 Creedmoor. The test powder is Alliant Reloder 16.

These books are your most important item you could have on hand; other than old fashion Common sense. You will need both however !! fuzztfork8Began reloading in 1976; casting in 1977 when good lead wheel weights were everywhere..There is something about making your own and being self-sufficient, that intrigued me.

We use the Hornady 147 gr ELD-M with Alliant Reloder 17 powder in my Ruger Precision Rifle. There is velocity and group data at 150 yards. Hornady Brass and CCI -250 LRM primers are used.

Trying out some 9mm 150 Grain bullets and 160 Grain bullets ... more to come on these

Mrs. WDS 6.5 Creedmoor 147 ELD Fine Tuning Results! Part 3

224 Valkyrie 88g ELD Results! H4350 vs RL17

I demonstrate how loading on a turret press is ideal for reloading a small batch of ammunition for load development. The turret press I use is the Redding T-7.

This video shows the Berger 130 AR Hybrid OTM Tatical loaded with Reloder 16 in my Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. There is velocity and group data at 150 yards. We use Lapua Brass along with Fed 205MAR primers.

The "Skeeter Load", which is a 250 grain cast SWC loaded in a .44 Special case with 7.5 grains of Unique powder, is one of my favorite loads.  This load, named for Skeeter Skelton, shoots from my 6 1/2" S&W Model 29 at about 950 fps.  I want to duplicate this velocity when shooting the same bullet from my S&W Model 629 TALO Deluxe, which has a 3" barrel.

Thor's Axe sent me some of his 200 grain .44 caliber FWCs.  I loaded these and shot them in my Charter Arms Bulldog, S&W 69, S&W 629, and S&W 29.
