Reloading by Scorch

Some fun shooting AR-10 308W, AR-10 6.5 CRD, AR-15 458 SOCOm, AR-15 5.56x45, AR-15 6mm ARC and 280AI.

Most of the loads were disappointing till I go to the 6mm ARC and the 6.5 Creedmoor. I am impressed with the velocity increase on the 7.62x39 loads with CFE-BLK.

A day of plinking at Livermore with older random loaded ammo leading to not good groups, but it did help calibrate my ShotMarker Frame

Comparing the group MOA measurement of the Shotmarker System to the Hornady Group measure app.

Members and associates of the Mile Long Club travel to San Luis Obispo to practice some distance shooting with 5.56 Nato to .416 Barrett.

I performed some testing for Optimal Charge weight with my 300 PRC, 338 LM, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.8 SPCII, 300 BLK and 7.62x39. Also did some barrel break-in for my 224 Valkyrie.

A group of friends shot at mile plus targets in Northern Nevada with 416 Barrett, 338 LM, 300 PRC, 6.5 PRC and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Shooting at distance in the Northern Nevada desert with a .416 Barrett, a 338 Lapua Magnum, a 300 PRC, a couple 6.5 PRC and a couple 6.5 Creedmoor. Friends and family.

Using a Labradar and a Shotmarker system, we did a ladder test for a Remington 700 with two different bullets, two different powders and five variations of each combination in 0.5 gr increments. 168 gr ELD-M, 168gr Amax, BLC2 and RL-15. We got a couple good groups, but also a lot of spread on most of the recipes.

In this video I do a comprehensive but not detailed list and demo of all the steps that I use in reloading.

My son and I doing some distance shooting in San Luis Obispo out to 1,450 yards with a variety of rifles, 416 Barrett, 280AI, 6mm ARC, 300 PRC and 338 Lapua Magnum.

This is lengthy video of how I reload. I have since added a wet tumbling step immediately after the last vibratory bowl polishing. This eliminates the primer pocket cleaning. I also 100% measure case length prior to deciding if I will trim or not.

Some ladder testing with a 300PRC, 280 AI and some plinking with 308, 300 BLK and 5.56.
