In this video we get started with load development for hunting. We perform initial velocity and pressure testing with Varget and the 150 gr Speer Gold Dot in 308 Winchester. Bolt Action ReloadingJust a guy at his reloading bench. I primarily focus on long range reloading.

Next up in the load development is Midsouth Match Monster 123gr bullets with RL15 and Varget Powders. Odd target but one of the best loads yet found using the Wilson Combat Super Sniper 6.5 Grendel barrel. Hazzbro’s HideReloader, shooter, flintlock builder

In this video we evaluate the performance of 5 different primers in 308 Winchester using Hodgdon Varget. Bolt Action ReloadingJust a guy at his reloading bench. I primarily focus on long range reloading.

Hey everyone! Have you ever wondered how much of a difference using fire formed brass will make for your reloads? I set out to find out just how much smaller our groups can get using once-fired brass in my Thompson Center Compass chambered in 5.56 NATO. Originally I intended to use a 75gr ELD bullet […]

Chico working the Ruger American Predator 6.5 Creedmoor and T/C Compass 308 at the 1000 yard Range, at Dead Zero Shooting Park in Spencer, TN. This is a combination of my video and Tread's video. I think it turned out great.

I have had a blast this past week with my Compass.  This rifle is really impressing me.  However it is a challenging rifle, and I like that.  Two issues that I have dealt with are barrel harmonics and barrel heat.  I have found during load development, a good group is almost always followed by a […]

Since the last post, I decided to try another brand of 168g bullets for my Compass in 308.  Since this is a budget rifle, I am trying to stick to budget friendly bullets.  The 168g Speer Match bullets were not meeting my expectations.  For this week’s post, I picked up some 168g Hornady Match bullets, […]

My journey to obtain a 308 has been a long difficult road.  Back in the fall, I stumbled across Ocean374‘s deal on a Thompson Center Compass from Kentucky Gun Company.  They had a smoking deal, along with a factory rebate, making this rifle $225 in my hands.  I picked up a SWFA fixed 20 power […]

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 […]

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

In this video I go over load development for the 224 Valkyrie with Hornady 80 gr ELD-Match bullets.  For this round I use Varget, H4350, and H4895 powders.

Recently I received some Barnes bullets from Preacher's Day Off and it is time to load them up. We are using our once fired Starline Brass that was recently used in the Fort Scott Munition videos. Going through all the steps to load this ammo. Due to some recent rainfall we won't be able to shoot these rounds today.

Discussing our progress on the 308 T/C Compass as well as any other thing shooting related.

Back out with the Compass today. I didn't have the best luck yesterday with it, so today I am trying something different. I have 12 rounds of Hornady 125g SST's loaded up with Varget and a few Speer 168g's that shot decent yesterday to re-shoot. After today, I have decided that the Compass is fine, it just doesn't like the Speer rounds.

Out with the .308 Compass today. Trying out the Speer 168g Match with Varget and CFE223. I even had a hangfire with one round.

Loading up the first test loads for the T/C Compass. Using Speer 168g Target Match rounds in Starline Brass and Varget. Hunting Season will end this weekend, then I can get back out to the range. Thanks to Starline for providing the Brass for the Compass. Check out The Reloaders Network http://www.thereloadersnetwork.com Check out the […]

This is a video about load development with the Hornady 75 grain Match bullets using Varget and the Barnes 85 grain Match Burners bullets using Reloader-17 powder. I am shooting at 100 yards.

This is a video about load development with the Hornady 80 grain ELD Match bullets using Varget and H4350 powders. I am shooting at 100 yards.

I put together some ladder loads for the Everglades Ammo 62gr 223 over the Thanksgiving weekend. I’m enthused, I put together my first 1 MOA group, now I have to work on my shooting technique to make that a common occurrence. The Range SquirrelI owned a Marlin 60 since 1987, but never really got ‘into’ […]

This is the last of the bullets NYC Reloader sent me. I am using Varget and groups were a lot better today. I will most likely be picking up this mould in the very near future.

I’m excited to have a 243 Outdoors guest post on today. He is out with a Winchester Model 70 Chambered in 220 Swift. The rounds today are loaded with Hornady 55g V-MAX and Varget. Using data from the Hornady Manual. This rifle is topped with a Vortex Golden Eagle 15-60×52 Scope. Shooting took place at […]
