Advanced Long Range Shooting book Extra Resources - Long Range Shooting Books by Ryan Cleckner

In the Advanced Long Range Shooting book, I reference many products, articles, videos, and other items which would be easier to list out here rather than inside of a book.

This is because it would take up too much room within a book and it would also be cumbersome to hand-type URLs for various items. Also, the links and products would become quickly outdated as technology progresses and things change.

Therefore, I am including the extra resources mentioned in each chapter here.

Chapter 6 – Loading Equipment

Presses

The book mentions a few presses.

RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Master Reloading Kit, Reloading Equipment Kit with Press, Scale, Powder Dispenser and More Green

The Rock Chucker Supreme Master Reloading Kit has long been the king of reloading kits. We took the benchmark of single stage presses (Rock Chucker Supreme) and surrounded it with the equipment you need (except dies and shell holders) to start handloading ammunition like a pro
The backbone of this reloading kit is the legendary Rock Chucker Supreme single stage press. It combines easy operation, ambidextrous handle, outstanding strength, and versatility to earn that coveted spot on your reloading bench. Featuring a spacious 4.25″ loading window that is perfectly suited for loading longer magnum and a central pivot design that provides outstanding leverage to size the toughest cases

Forster Products Universal Co-Ax Reloading Press with S Jaws, Works with Standard 7/8″ x 14 Reloading Die, Made in USA

3X MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE – Our Co-Ax Press has three times the mechanical advantage of an ordinary “C” press. It’s so effortless, full length sizing can actually be accomplished by operating the handle of the press with the little finger! There’s no pain but plenty of gain.
PERFECT ALIGNMENT – The Co-Ax Press delivers perfect alignment of the die and the case because the shell holder jaws are designed to float with the die, thereby permitting the case to center precisely in the die. Dual floating guide rods to help ensure perfect alignment.
