How we write

We explain gear from maker specifications, manuals, published data and what owners report, and we say so. We do not invent lab tests or ratings. Reloading guides always point you to published load data from powder and bullet makers.

  • One clear answer at the top of every guide
  • Comparisons that say who each option is wrong for
  • Guides kept up to date as gear changes
