Long range reloading

Bulb · Nov 2, 2025

I'm working on loading for long shots and want to swap tips... I prep my cases carefully and adjust seating depth and powder a tiny bit at a time. I also check group sizes at set distances using my chrono. I track how the barrel breaks in and how temp affects thing and I'd like to know what loads, chrono stuff or tests do you use to get the best groups?

I once loaded a batch that was too hot..it blew a target off the paper and my buddy joked about my barrel being haunted. I just learnt to start low and slowly increase it and log every step too

You really want that single-digit standard deviation. I just started using a magnetic powder trickler, feels like I'm cheating! How do you test your charge consistency?

My everyday carry is easy… a small pistol, a knife and a flashlight. If it’s not comfy, I don’t take it

If you want consistent results, pay close attention to keeping neck tension the same. An electronic powder dispenser will save you a ton of time.

I check how fast each load is, mess with how deep the bullet sits and the powder.. then see how tight the groups are far away

Great tip...starting low and keeping notes is smart

Thanks, Leonard, I'll keep an eye on neck tension and an electronic dispenser might be good
