24 New Reloading Products For 2015

Alliant BE-86 Powder
The special extruded-flake formulation results in excellent ballistics in a wide array of centerfire pistol loads, with high energy, an ideal burn speed and less flash. It meters well and is available in 1- and 8-pound canisters. Like all Alliant Powder offerings, BE-86 provides superior lot-to-lot consistency. This powder provides improved flow, contains flash suppressant and is versatile. It’s primarily meant for pistols loads, and is excellent for the 9mm and .40 S&W. As a basis for comparison, Alliant lists a .38 Special load with a 125-grain JHP be loaded with 5.4 grains of BE-86 to achieve a velocity of 1,002 fps.

Berry’s 400 Tumbler
Berry’s Manufacturing has been making quality products for the shooting industry, including “preferred plated bullets,” since 1961. The company’s 400 Tumbler features quiet operation, a large 4-quart bowl, a clear lid, an in-line on/off switch, a large easy-grip knob, making it a breeze to use. The plastic parts have a limited lifetime warranty, while the motor has a 3-year warranty. The warranty is void if the unit is used for anything besides tumbling metallic cartridges with dry media.

Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph
The Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph provides accurate velocity measurements across a wide range of shooting conditions. Higher accuracy was achieved by using a high-speed 48 MHz processor and by designing a circuit with an advanced data interface that allows each unit to be computer calibrated at the factory after assembly. The end result is the ability to provide much better accuracy than other chronographs on the market—to within 0.25 percent. Although technologically advanced, the unit is designed to be simple to operate, displaying velocity in feet or meters per second on the large, built-in LCD screen.

CCI Benchrest Rifle Primers
In benchrest competition, there’s no such thing as a group that’s “too small.” Everything has to be tuned to the highest degree to produce match-winning results. That’s why CCI makes Benchrest primers. CCI’s skilled personnel put the priming mix in the cups so you get the same flame, shot after shot. They also use specially selected cups and anvils for added consistency. In fact, an independent researcher identified the use of CCI Benchrest primers as one of two factors that were the most significant contributors to tiny groups.

Dillon Precision Toolheads
Dill Precision offers several reloading products. One of the newest includes the company’s Modified RL550 Toolhead for the RT1500 trimmer.

Nosler’s New “28” Cartridge
The new 28 Nosler cartridge is capable of shooting a 160-grain AccuBond at 3,300 fps, now topping the leaderboard of all 7mm hot-rod cartridges. The 28 Nosler shares the same parent case as the 26 Nosler as well as the combined overall length of 3.340 inches, allowing this cartridge to be operated in a standard-length action for lighter weight and a shorter bolt throw when compared to magnum-length actions. Of course, Nosler will be supporting this new cartridge with Nosler brass, Trophy Grade ammunition and naturally, its full line of M48 rifles in 26-inch barrel configurations. For more information, visit <a target=blank href=http://www.nosler.com/news-and-articles/2015/1/19/the-28-nosler>http://www.nosler.com</a> or call 800-285-3701.

Nosler AccuBond Long Range
Nosler supplemented several of their existing product lines with the new offerings for handloaders. The AccuBond Long Range bullet line is relatively young, but it was obvious that a heavier bullet was needed to take full advantage of the large powder capacity of the 26 Nosler cartridge introduced last year. With a massive ballistic coefficient, this new 6.5mm, 142-grain AccuBond LR will provide more energy and less drop at longer ranges than any other bullet in its class and will stabilize in standard 1-in-9-inch-twist barrels. For more information, visit <a target=blank href=http://www.nosler.com/accubond-long-range-bullet/>http://www.nosler.com</a> or call 800-285-3701.

Nosler E-Tip
Nosler’s patent-pending E-Tip bullet is built on a highly concentric structure of monolithic gilding metal, providing unsurpassed penetration and weight retention. The new 55-grain E-Tip will turn a traditional .22 centerfire varmint cartridge into a bona fide deer rifle. The new .30-caliber, 150-grain E-Tip will also dramatically increase penetration capabilities of the honored .30-30 Winchester. Last but certainly not least, the venerable .338-caliber, 225-grain E-Tip, with a ballistic coefficient of .611 and over 95-percent weight retention, offers “heavy” bullet benefits with “lighter” bullet velocities.

Spent primers are efficiently dropped from the bottom of the press to be captured in a trash receptacle. The large-capacity Quick Change powder measure reduces the number of times you have to fill the powder hopper. Plus, the Quick Change drain tube allows you to drain the powder measure without removing it from the press.

The second bullet mold is a 38-grain round nose that reaches velocities of 1,320 fps. For both molds, there is a crimping tool that precisely crimps the neck of the cartridge, providing proper ignition.

Sierra Tipped MatchKing Bullets
Sierra has enhanced a segment of the MatchKing line by adding the acetal resin tip, thus crowning the Tipped MatchKing (TMK) bullet line. The major advantage of adding a tip to the bullet is the reduction of drag, producing a more favorable ballistic coefficient. The 175-grain, .30-caliber MatchKing was created to allow .308 Winchester shooters to stay supersonic at 1,000 yards. The 175-grain TMK bullet is an excellent choice for F-Class matches, as well as 3-Gun and various other competitions.
