Precision Reloading

Hi I am Bruce Mackay and I have been reloading for over twenty years. The idea of precision reloading stemmed from the need to shoot moose at long range. There were many times hunting when the animals were seen on cut blocks at long range and we never could get close enough to get a shot at them because my hunting partners and I were not that good of shots . A better way of saying that is to say we did not know how to range the animals and had not worked out the ballistics needed for shooting that far.
For me it was a challenge and I stepped up to it and started learning to reload for five hundred yards.
It sounds easy to say you can hit and shoot groups at that range but to prove it and actually do it is a bigger challenge.
I had to get a bigger rifle and new equipment but I can now say with practice I can and have shot moose at over five hundred yards.
This is my idea of precision reloading it is not bench rest shooting by a long shot but it is a part of learning the same functions. A bench rest shooter is a person who can and does shoot accurate as his gun will shoot and then reload to increase the degree of accuracy

Precision Reloading For Hunting

Hi I am Bruce Mackay I have hunted moose and deer for thirty five years and have done quite well. The early years I got skunked a lot but then I did not have much of a rifle and little knowledge of how to use it, My father was a second ww vet. and had lost all interest in hunting and Killing. So that left me and my brothers on our own to learn and we sort of learned how not to do it. After a few years I met a friend who liked to shoot and hunt, well he liked to road hunt but he did teach me how to take a site picture. Then I could head shoot grouse. Not long after I got sick of riding around and found friends who hunted and had good guns. Then I got enough cash for a.257 Roberts And had a fellow teach me hand loading. This started my love of precision reloading and getting my game most years. Precision Reloading Info

Precision Reloading

It took me a few years of bad hunts to find and adopt the idea of reloading for accuracy and distance. Once I did their was no turning back.The idea of hunting with a four inch group at a hundred for a site in was gone.

Now if my gun shoots over a one inch group I had better have a huge hangover or its back to the reloading bench. Normally I shoot a seven inch group at five hundred yards that's a three shot group. With a 7MM Rem. That's as long as I have set up for.

The main components for a good reload are quality lead with a good brass I found primers are usually consistent. The bullet seating for depth I found was hard to do and had a huge effect on bullet performance. I found that boat tail rounds were a big accuracy improvement.

Just doing the work to test loads was some of the the best fun. It seemed to be hard to find an accuracy load that was at max powder load. That was what I liked to find for precision reloading.
