Best Reloading Supplies for Rolling Your Own

Sierra Gamechanger

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the Sierra GameChanger delivers match-grade accuracy in a tough hunting bullet. The lead core is surrounded by a concentric copper jacket that expands reliably and penetrates deep for maximum damage. A synthetic tip, tuned ogive, and boattail create a fast, balanced profile with optimum ballistic coefficients throughout the range of calibers. MSRP: $18-$26 (per 50) | sierrabullets.com


Lyman Victory Press

Victory Press

A sturdy, rugged press forms the foundation of every reloader’s bench, and Lyman’s new single-stage Victory Press is as tough as they come. The heavy, cast-iron O-style frame has a five-inch opening to accommodate magnum calibers, and the one-inch ram operates securely and efficiently with every pull. The steel-shielded primer tube falls in a straight line for reliable feeding with each stroke. The press includes both large and small primer tubes. MSRP: $200 | lymanproducts.com


RCBS Brass Boss

RCBS Brass Boss

Like rehab for rough cases, the RCBS Brass Boss puts all the steps for case conditioning in one handy spot. With six rotating stations, this all-in-one tool takes trimmed brass through the prep process, from chamfering to deburring to cleaning and regulating primer pockets. Four neck brushes accommodate most calibers, and RCBS includes a tub of dry lubricant. Runs on both U.S. and international outlets, with four different power cords included. MSRP: $190 | rcbs.com


Hornady Magnum Digital Vibratory Tumbler

Hornady Magnum Digital Vibratory Tumbler

Polishing a pile of brass goes quicker with the Hornady Magnum Digital Vibratory tumbler. The oversized drum accommodates up to 250 .30-06-equivalent cases or as many as 600 .38 Special cases. Set the digital timer and the tumbler shimmies and shakes for up to eight hours, creating brilliantly shiny brass with no fouling or residue to jam up dies, making for a smoother reloading process.MSRP: $128 | hornady.com

Editor-in-Chief

An avid hunter and accomplished writer, David Draper has traveled the globe in search of good stories and good food, yet his roots remain firmly planted in the soil of his family's farm on the High Plains of Nebraska. As a young man, his dreams were fueled by daily trips to the original Cabela's retail store, which stood a short four blocks from his childhood home. The ensuing years spent chasing his passions for adventure and the outdoors have taken him from the shores of Africa's Gambia River to Alaska's Brooks Range. He has hunted birds and big-game on five of the seven continents. A 20-year industry veteran, Draper has worked in communications, writing and editing roles for the biggest names in the industry. In addition to bylines in scores of publications, he also served as the editor for the hunting journals of Dick and Mary Cabela and contributed to several books on the outdoors. Draper is Editor-in-Chief of Petersen's Hunting magazine, where he also writes the Fare Game column covering all aspects of processing and cooking wild game.
