Experience Overview

This one-day clinic is designed to teach you how to handload ammunition for your Gunwerks rifle that duplicates the performance of the Gunwerks ammunition your rifle was designed to shoot. 

  • Safety considerations for handloading ammunition

  • How to select the necessary components and reloading equipment

  • How to assemble a round that is identical to the Gunwerks factory ammunition

  • How to determine what the maximum powder charge (load) is for a specific set of components.

  • How to fine tune a load for improved long range accuracy.

In this course you will utilize our Long Range University rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor, and we will provide all the equipment and components.  Even if you do not own a Gunwerks rifle you will learn the process to develop an accurate long range load for your rifle. 


There are no prerequisite courses to attend any of our clinics however you will get the greatest benefit from the course if your bench shooting technique is dialed when you get here. This clinic is normally run on Friday immediately following our L1 and L2 classes to make it convenient to maximize your learning experience by attending all three events in one week.

Long Range University Overview

Long Range University exists for the specific purpose of helping you make quick ethical one shot kills in the field. The core of our content is contained in our L1, L2, and L3 classes which utilize a building block approach to provide education and training in every factor which impacts your lethal hit probability. Interwoven throughout all three classes is a training strategy which will improve your ability to function under pressure and significantly extend the range and conditions under which you can take an ethical shot. At Long Range University you will learn to recognize when the conditions are not suitable to ensure a lethal hit. 


You will use our Gunwerks Shooting systems during the L1 and L2 classes, however what you learn will apply to any long range shooting system. Using a Gunwerks rifle system and ammunition for this course facilitates and accelerates the learning process. This allows you to focus on the core class content and leave equipment concerns to the instructor. Put wear and tear on our rifle not yours.


In our L3 class we encourage you to bring your personal rifle regardless of manufacturer. This is where you really learn the capability and limits of your “system” which includes you and your marksmanship ability, your rifles capability, your ballistic program, and your ability to compensate for wind and other environmental conditions, all in a realistic mountain hunting environment.

  • L3 Mountain Shooting Application
