223 Remington

223 Remington Load Development: 52, 55, 69 HPBT, Varget and the Ruger American Rifle

January 9, 2019 Bill Marr 0

I believe 223 Remington is one of the more underappreciated cartridges on the market. Sure, the industry sells a boat load of it. Unfortunately, most of this success is due to its widespread use in […]

6.5 Creedmoor

Ruger Precision Rifle Suppressed Load Development: Hornady 147 ELD-Match and H4350 with THUNDER CHICKEN

October 4, 2018 Bill Marr 0

Ruger Precision Rifle Suppressed Load Development: Hornady 147 ELD-Match and H4350 Suppressors are here to stay.  What was once a novelty in the precision rifle world has grown increasingly common.  You’d be hard pressed to […]

6.5 Creedmoor

Reloading for the Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) 6.5 Creedmoor

September 30, 2018 Bill Marr 0

Reloading for the Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) 6.5 Creedmoor Not only does the Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) introduce many shooters to long range shooting, it also introduces a lot of the same folks to reloading.  […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Hornady 147 ELD with H4350 and H4831SC

July 27, 2018 Bill Marr 0

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Hornady 147 ELD with H4350 and H4831SC Hornady bullets are popular with the 6.5 Creedmoor crowd.  While I’ve mostly been shooting Sierra, a few readers have asked about the Hornady.  I […]

Starline 6.5 Creedmoor Brass Endurance Testing- firing the same cases 15 times

July 16, 2018 Bill Marr 0

It is an expensive sport Let’s face it, shooting precision rifles is an expensive sport.  The cost of a rifle, optics and ancillary equipment adds up quickly- and that’s well before you fire any rounds […]

Does primer size matter? PART-2 CCI 200 v CCI 400

July 2, 2018 Bill Marr 0

In this post let’s take a look to see if primer size affects the performance of hand loads in the 6.5 Creedmoor.  I’ll be shooting the same brand of brass, powder, and bullets to see […]

6.5 Creedmoor

6.5 Creedmoor load development: Semi-automatic gas gun, 140 SMK with VARGET and H4350

March 18, 2018 Bill Marr 0

Most 6.5 Creedmoor shooters prefer heavier bullets.  I happen to be one of them.  While my favorite bullet for the Creedmoor is the 142 Sierra MatchKing (SMK), it’s slightly lighter, and easier to stabilize little […]

6.5 Creedmoor

Reloading 6.5 Creedmoor with Reloder 16 (RL16) and the 142 and 150 Sierra MatchKing (SMK)

November 19, 2017 Bill Marr 0

Reloading 6.5 Creedmoor with Reloder 16 (RL16) and the 142 and 150 Sierra MatchKing (SMK) I’ve heard some great things about Reloder 16 (it isn’t reloader, note the spelling) in the 6.5 Creedmoor.  Notably, impressive […]

March 12, 2017 Bill Marr 0

Forster Co-Ax reloading press review I’ve been loading ammunition since I was a teenager in the early-90s.  My first press was a Dillon 650 and that is what I learned to load pistol cartridges on. […]

February 13, 2017 Bill Marr 0

Loading your own ammunition is an important, if not necessary step in your path to becoming a master shooter. Like many shooters, I started reloading handgun ammunition before rifle ammo.  I mostly reloaded brass scavenged […]
