On a final note, this is neither a load development class nor a long-range shooting class but rather a course that establishes a firm foundation for understanding the essential steps for reloading to your rifle’s full accuracy potential. On day 2 you will be shown the proper way to set up dies to obtain key cartridge measurements on your once fired brass then again evaluating your reloads on the range at an extended distance beyond 100 yards. The first day will consist of classroom demonstrations and reloading your match ammunition immediately followed by live fire evaluation on the range at 100 yards. Other manufacture’s match grade reloading products will also be demonstrated and used. Forster Products personnel and Pro-staff members will be demonstrating and providing individual guidance on the proper setup and use of the Co-ax press, dies, case prep, case inspection and measuring tools.
