At the end of Novemeber, I had the opportunity to take part in a reloading class from Jay with North Texas Rifle Precision. I could not have been happier with the instruction I received. Jay has a wealth of knowledge and has a very good method of instruction. In just a few short hours I had an excellent grasp of the topics covered from component selection all the way through load developement. It was an excellent experience from start to finish and I would recommend this too my friends and family who are serious about reloading safely and consistently.

Check out his web site at http://www.northtexasrifleprecision.com/

Once again, my hats off to Jay and the great services he provides.

Re: Reloading with North Texas Rifle Precision

I'd also like to pass along my great experience working with Jay. I had a reloading past but it was geared towards making ammo to hunt and plink with. I had no idea there were so many different things to consider when trying to make consistant loads. Jay taught me all the important aspects and critical items that go into making quality and consistant ammo. He explained the reasons for doing things the same each time and the results you get from doing it that way. He is a hands on instructor and welcomes any question. His equipment and instruction is first rate. I am scheduled to shoot with Jay and learn load developement and long range precision next weekend. I highly recomment North Texas Rifle Precision for anything from the beginner to just knocking the rust off.

I would totally agree. Not only is Jay a good friend, but a valuable resouce with a wealth of knowledge, as well. Plus, his service is one on one, so the class is catered to your specific needs. You can't find that anywhere!

Re: Reloading with North Texas Rifle Precision

Just got back from North Texas Stick Drivers range with Jay at North Texas Rifle Precision. We went up to do load development and long range rifle training. I had an awesome day. The weather was poor (in the low 30's high 20's with wind chill and a little wind as well as cloudy and misty rain). We did load development on my Rem 700 .308. Shot thru several load designs and found one that worked out pretty well and held .5 to .75 groups. We moved from the 100 yd to 600 yd range and shot steel. After I had hit the steel consistantly Jay challenged me with a Tiger Woods special NIKE golf ball at 600 yds. Man was that awesome. Hit the golf ball second shot. I told Jay my friends would never believe it so he got out the video camera and we got the second golf ball at 600 yds on video. Made my day!!! We moved in to the 300 yd mark and he taught me the skills of positional shooting from sitting, kneeling and standing. My good luck of pulling the trigger at the right time continued. After shooting from each position and hearing the steel ring we did a couple of timed drills and finished out the ammo we had.
I'd like to tell anyone looking for training on how to develope your handloads and learn what the difference is between each load design Jay is the man to call. We chronographed my loads and took notes on each different load. Jay explained what we were looking for in each round. Awesome training. He will teach you what to look for and how to make changes to improve. When it comes to shooting, Jay knows how to observe your shooting and fine tune your grip, posture and all the finer points to get you on the target time and time again. I have an almost stock Rem 700 Varmint rifle in .308 with 6 X 22 X 56 Night Force. At this point in time, I am not able to build a custom rifle so I shoot what I have. Jay had previously recommended I spend the money on Optics and he was absolutely right. The scope made the difference. I would recommend Jay to anyone looking to learn better handloads or learn to shoot better. Thanks Jay it was the best day I've had shooting.

If you thought sniper golf was fun, wait until your feet are on the ski of a helecopter and your shooting targets at Rifles Only.

Man, we had a great time. Here is video of Stacey kicking ass! The first shot was a "no call" at first because the round hit a piece of plywood and then skipped into the berm after it passed through the wood and hit dirt.

Good times!! Had so much fun, forgot it was below freezing wind chill. Didn't remember the cold until the drive home and my feet and hands started to thaw out. I appreciate the pics and video. Once again Jay takes good care of his customers.

Re: Reloading with North Texas Rifle Precision

Just an add on I forgot to mention. During Jays positional shooting instruction I was lacking a quality shooting sling. It was something I hadn't considered "important" and previously I only used the sling to carry my rifle while hunting. I had a cheap off brand sling on my rifle. Jay's rifle has a TAB sling and after seeing it in use, I understand why it's "important". The TAB sling has wide straps that give you more stability and the ability to tighten it on your upper arm make it a rock solid rest from sitting, kneeling and standing positions. I'm sure many people, like me overlook this simple item but it will be my next purchase along with the flush cups.

Re: Reloading with North Texas Rifle Precision

It is a small world. Stacy and I where loading rounds a while back and he tells me he is an airplane mechanic. "Really? Cause one of my best friends is an airplane mechanic." Long story short, the two of them have known each other for like 10 years.

Odd, 85% of my customers this year are pilots (including Stacy)which makes explaining density altitude really easy. My last set of elk hunters were going to fly in to the range in their helicopter but decided not to at the last minute. I think they were expecting me to say "No" but I was like, "Hell yeah, I'll bring more steel and we will shoot out of it!" lol Oh well, maybe next year.

I think doc76251, Raphael, and VictorinTN would be good candidates for online reloading instructors. I'm more hands on and those guys come across well over the net.
