I decided to write the How-To Series due to a lack of useful information on these subjects. Some of the necessary data is difficult to find when you begin shooting. If you discover the info, it is probably vague, overly technical, or downright wrong.

My goal here will be to give clear step-by-step instructions. Sometimes I have to get technical, but there’s no avoiding it in these cases.

I have learned these procedures from several years of experience. Also, a lot of the information came directly from professionals. The mentors I received this information from are current national champions, record holders, U.S. shooting team members, and highly acclaimed gunsmiths. So it’s not “well, one time, this guy told me.”

Keep in mind working with firearms or reloading equipment can be dangerous. If you are someone who repeatedly stuck a knife into a light socket when you were younger, this isn’t for you. I take no responsibility for someone else’s lack of common sense.

I hope you enjoy the series, and if there’s something that I did not include, please feel free to email me. I will try and get the information up for you. I always “know a guy.”
