Burstfire Just Created a Whole New Category in Reloading When Burstfire launched its original 2-in-1 Torch Annealer and Case Prep Center , it gave reloaders something they hadn’t seen before: a compact, all-metal flame annealer paired with a four-station case prep center—all for under $300. For a lot of reloaders, myself included, it was the first approachable, affordable step into flame annealing. The system wasn’t just innovative for its price. It was practical, efficient

In long-range precision shooting, your greatest adversary isn’t the rifle, the load, or even the distance—it’s the wind. Trickster. Saboteur. Phantom. Wind is the invisible force that humbles champions and denies even the most perfect trigger press. It shifts without warning, splits downrange, and whispers false promises through mirage and foliage. In every discipline—from PRS to F-Class, Benchrest to ELR—it’s a constant reminder that this game isn’t just shooter versus steel

Well, I was going to have to announce it one way or another, so this is as good a time as any: I’ve officially decided to invest in a dedicated F-Class Open build. I know, I know—I love my hybrid build, and I still believe it has a lot of potential. But the truth is, if you want to accelerate in this game, the fastest and most effective path is to do what the top shooters have already done: pick a system, learn the system, work the system, perfect the system—and only then may

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,

By Nick LaPlant If you’re looking to up your game in shooting sports like PRS or F-Class, adding slam ball carries to your training can make a noticeable difference. This straightforward exercise not only builds strength but also enhances stability and control—key components for any shooter. Why Slam Ball Carries Matter for Different Shooting Disciplines PRS (Precision Rifle Series): Positional Stability PRS competitions often require shooting from unconventional positions—th

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
