Target Audience

This advanced course is intended for participants who have completed Stage 1 (Skills and Knowledge) and wish to progress to a higher level focused on precision and performance optimization.

Participants will develop methods to achieve exceptional consistency and superior-quality ammunition by specifically reducing:

• SD (Standard Deviation) — indicator of velocity consistency

• ES (Extreme Spread) — difference between fastest and slowest velocity

Objective: reach optimal ballistic performance through a highly controlled, reproducible reloading process.

Topics Covered

Fundamentals

• Equipment required for advanced reloading

• Overview of the main products available on the market

• Buying guide tailored to the shooter's needs

Advanced Reloading Process

• Complete an advanced reloading cycle with a detailed explanation of each step

• Annealing (case neck annealing): principles, settings, and best practices

• Precise press and die adjustment, including Bushing-type dies, for repeatable precision reloading

• Optimal bushing selection according to caliber, neck thickness, and desired tension to maximize SD/ES consistency and precision

• Headspace datum vs. shoulder angle — management and precise adjustment

• Determining the maximum chamber length to calculate the maximum case length (chamber length gauge)

• Proper trimming techniques and chamfer angle application

• Avoiding case head bulges (“clickers” or Glock bulge) to prevent head case separation, restore correct dimensions and ensure reliable chambering

• Using a Universal Rollsizer

• Uniforming the internal neck dimension with an expander mandrel for consistent neck tension

• Checking primer pocket dimensions (GO / NO-GO)

• Measuring rifling position to determine optimal projectile seating distance (OAL gauge) and base-to-ogive measurement

• Using different press types, including arbor presses with inline seating dies

• Using the Annealing Made Perfect (AMP) system and interpreting the generated graphs and data

Quality Control and Ballistic Analysis

• Checking bullet concentricity (runout)

• Understanding ballistic chronograph data:

  • SD (Standard Deviation)

  • ES (Extreme Spread)

• Performance validation and troubleshooting techniques

• And much more…
