This episode of the Guns Magazine Podcast features Tom McHale, editor of American Handgunner Magazine, discussing three key tips for improving rifle reloading accuracy. The primary advice focuses on using high-quality, uniform projectiles, meticulously sorting brass cases by weight and headstamp to ensure consistent internal volume, and checking for bullet runout (concentricity) with a specialized gauge. McHale emphasizes that consistency is paramount for accuracy and advises reloading enthusiasts to systematically change only one variable at a time during load development to isolate its impact.

This video demonstrates the use of primer pocket plugs from 21st Century Shooting to accurately measure cartridge case capacity. By plugging the primer pocket, reloaders can fill cases with water after tumbling and cleaning, leading to more precise case capacity measurements. This data can then be used for sorting brass or inputting into ballistic software like QuickLOAD for improved load development accuracy.
