Primer seating doesn't get talked about enough in the long range precision community, and when it does come up it tends to divide people. There is a legitimate point of contention around it because primers themselves carry inherent inconsistencies, which makes the whole conversation complicated. Where exactly do you measure from to get the most repeatable result? How deep is deep enough, and does seating depth past a certain point even move the needle or does it just become n

The Foundation: Built on the 10x March-X Platform The March-X platform, particularly the 5–50×56 and 8–80×56, established the 10x zoom architecture that would define the series. Those scopes proved that high magnification did not have to come at the expense of mechanical integrity. They tracked. They held zero. They survived real competition. The 10-60X56 HM would later bring Super-ED glass which earned trust in F-Class, Benchrest, and Field Target circles not because they w

If you have been paying attention, you probably caught the quiet hints we have been dropping about our community rifle builds. These are the high end custom rifles we are putting together for networking days, training days, match side stages, and even loaner use. That project deserves its own write up, but it matters here for one reason. One of those builds has been running the BE1 action from 1934 Armory, and the thing has been smooth, consistent, and accurate in a way that

Three weeks traveling around the UK. Already filmed the Rimfire World Championship ( read about it here ) and finishing my trip shooting photos and video at the European F-Class Championships . Of course I was excited, F-Class Open is my chosen discipline. Having spent time with Team USA at Southwest Nationals and being friends with several competitors, it was a great way to wrap up the trip and watch the best of the best go to work. But this isn’t about that event. If you

Chasing a Panda at Southwest Nationals 2025 There I was, camera in hand, soaking in the action at the Southwest Nationals (SWN) in Arizona when something unusual caught my eye—a panda. I did a double take. A panda? Here? In the middle of one of the most elite precision shooting competitions in the world? As I took in the magnitude of the Southwest Nationals, one of the most grueling and elite long-range precision shooting competitions in the world, I knew this chance encount

This week on the Black Plague Precision Podcast , I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nick Laplant, a personal trainer and PRS shooter, to talk about a critical but often overlooked aspect of long-range precision shooting—fitness and nutrition. Shooting isn’t just about technical skill and mental focus; your physical conditioning and what you put into your body directly impact your endurance, stability, and performance under pressure. Whether you’re competing in F-Class,

From a Lone Battle to a Legendary Series It started as a once-a-year proving ground, a brutal test of skill where shooters weren’t handed anything—no pre-set distances, no easy stage walkthroughs, no second chances. The challenge was raw, unforgiving, and real. I am lucky to have friends all over the country and when Tony of MK Machining hit me up, fired up about an outlaw match unlike anything he’d shot before, it clicked—this format wasn’t just surviving, it was evolving

If you've been tuned into the buzz in the optics world, you’ve likely caught wind of this for a while now: Kahles has just launched their groundbreaking new scope, the K540i (5-40x56) . This scope is set to shake up the game, and today marks the big reveal as multiple creators dropped their first-look videos. Kahles has a special place in my heart. My first-ever scope purchased with hard-earned money was the K525i DLR , and while I’ve moved on to the March 8-80x56 , my trusty

As a die-hard fan of long-range precision shooting, I often find myself craving more ways to stay connected with the action, especially during major events like the 2024 Hornady PRS Pro Series Finale . Just recently, I was complaining about how frustrating it was not being able to watch the 2024 Hornady PRS Pro Series Finale live. I wanted real-time updates, scores, and the ability to follow every shot as it happened. I kept thinking, Why isn’t there an app for this? Then,

As a long-time 6.5 Creedmoor shooter, this news of the military’s choice to convert its M110 rifles from .308 to 6.5CM has me absolutely fired up! This all started when my buddy TwoTenthsLeft , an incredible Rimfire competitor, sent me a post on Instagram from Bryan_litz_ballistics at Applied Ballistics . I love when friends share game-changing news, so I dove right in to see what this could mean for the future of 6.5CM shooters like us. Why the Military Chose 6.5 Creedmoor

In the world of long-range shooting, precision is everything. Reloading enthusiasts know that having the right tools can make a significant difference in their shooting performance. Recently, however, a new drama has unfolded in the reloading community, centered around Hornady's latest case trimmer, the Hornady High Speed 3-in-1 Power Case Trimmer , which many believe bears an uncanny resemblance to the Henderson Precision GEN 3 Case Trimmer . A Closer Look at the Products Th

Precision shooting continues to advance with groundbreaking technologies. In 2024, we’re expecting a surge in innovation aimed at increasing shooter accuracy and performance. Some key developments include: Smart Optics: New smart scopes are coming with features like auto-ranging, real-time environmental condition adjustments, and integrated ballistic calculators.
