Handloading, or reloading, is the practice of making firearm cartridges by assembling the individual components (case, primer, propellant, and projectile).
On this page, I intend to show some of the recipes I've learned with other more experienced shooters or came up myself and when possible do a table chart with the loads and muzzle velocity.
Handgun velocity was measured using a Chrony and a second chronograph to confirm accuracy.
Rifle velocities were measured using a MagnetoSpeed Chronograph attached to the barrel for maximum accuracy (and safety) to be used in both the Hornady Ballistic Calculator and the excellent Strelok App.
