Introduction to Reloading

Students will learn how to safely reload ammunition for their rifle and how to start developing loads to increase accuracy and precision with low deviations in velocity.

Students will learn how to prepare new or once fired brass, reprime, charge, and seat a bullet. Students will become familiar with how to operate all the necessary tools and equipment for reloading.

Students will need to bring equipment and components that are specific to the cartridge their rifle is chambered in. For example, if you’re shooting a .308 Winchester, and your cases have large rifle primer pockets, you will need 100 pieces of .308 Winchester brass, 100 .308 caliber bullets that will work with your twist rate, 1 pound of gun powder that will work with your cartridge, 100 large rifle primers, and a .308 Winchester reloading die set.

Long Range Level 1
Long Range Level 1 is an introduction to long-range shooting. This course is open to all experience levels and backgrounds, but students are expected to show up with an understanding of firearms safety and the ability to shoot a scoped rifle. Students will learn about equipment specific to precision shooting, marksmanship fundamentals, ballistics, and environmental factors that affect bullet trajectory.
-
With the assistance of instructors, students will ensure their rifle is correctly adjusted and that their scope is level. All students must zero or confirm zero with a minimum of 10 rounds and a chronograph. This is not only a safety measure, but important for getting the average muzzle velocity for ballistics computation. Paired in spotter/shooter teams, students will learn how to read wind, spot bullet trace, observe impacts, and efficiently communicate corrections to put rounds on targets out to 1100 meters.
-
Mandatory equipment:
Precision Rifle with bipod
Riflescope with exposed turrets
Eye and Hearing protection
Optional equipment:
Rear squeeze bag
Scope level (30mm and 34mm levels available for purchase)
