What you’ll learn
- Choosing the right components Powder, bullets, cases and primers to match each application: from affordable practice ammo for handguns and long guns to precise ELR ammunition with minimal standard deviation (SD) in muzzle velocity.
- What matters Consistency as the key to precision: exact powder charge, seating depth and clean case prep.
- Neck tension How neck tension determines bullet pull and why it is critical for consistent ammunition.
- Single-stage or progressive press Pros and cons of both press types and which one fits your goals.
The course teaches the know-how of proper reloading. It is not a certified course under the German Explosives Act and does not replace the permit under § 27 SprengG (the so-called “powder license”) that you need to reload yourself.
