The Difference
Most shops say a rifle is accurate. We document it.
The real difference at Brick House Accuracy is not just building rifles — it is showing what the rifle does before it leaves. Each project is tested with real data, then handed off with a useful record the customer can keep.
- Group size and distance
- Chronograph velocity data
- Extreme spread and standard deviation
- Ammunition and load details
- Environmental conditions
- Rifle and optic configuration
- Final customer handoff notes
- Video documentation for premium builds

Custom Rifle Systems
Nationwide custom rifle build reservations designed around the shooter, cartridge, optic, and intended use. Includes component planning, assembly, inspection, rifle-specific ammunition development, chronograph-supported testing, and a clear handoff.
Learn MoreRifle Accuracy Diagnostics
For accepted existing-rifle projects, we review the complete rifle-and-optic platform before recommending a next step. Depending on scope, this includes condition, headspace, trigger, fastener, mount, level, and torque checks with recorded findings.
Learn MoreRifle-Specific Ammunition Development
After the platform is confirmed ready, we test appropriate ammunition variables for that individual rifle where legally applicable. Work may include bullet, powder, velocity, primer, seating-depth, brass-condition, and chronograph evaluation.
Learn MorePrecision Gunsmithing
From proper bedding and optics installation to trigger adjustments, barrel threading, inspection, and rifle setup, Brick House Accuracy offers precision-focused gunsmithing for local and regional appointment-based customers.

Honest calculators and reference charts built by the same people who build the rifles. Start with one question or compare two possible configurations. No signup required.
Barrel Life Estimator
Honest round-count ranges for your cartridge, powder charge, and shooting cadence — built on overbore ratio, not wishful thinking.
Powder Burn Rate & Temp Chart
Eight manufacturers blended into one ranked chart — 76+ powders each rated for burn position and temperature stability.
Primer Selector & Cross-Reference
Brand equivalents, cup hardness, magnum primer decision guide, and size selector for CCI, Federal, Winchester, Remington, and more.
Bullet Stability (Twist Rate)
Miller stability factor for your bullet, twist, velocity, and conditions — know whether that heavy match bullet will fly before you buy the barrel.
Recoil Energy Calculator
Free recoil energy and velocity from rifle weight, bullet, charge, and muzzle device — compare builds before you commit.
Downrange Dispersion Estimator
Compare two recorded tests to see how baseline group dispersion and muzzle-velocity variation may combine at distance — uncertainty bands, not firing solutions.
Free Printable Targets
Two BHA-branded one-page target and test-record sheets for controlled comparisons and verification sessions. Print at actual size and keep your measured record together.
MOA / MIL Converter
Convert between MOA, MIL, and inches at any distance — plus scope-click math that settles range-day arguments.
Shellholder Finder
Compatible shellholder numbers across Hornady, Lee, Lyman, RCBS, and Redding — 320 cartridges, verified against current manufacturer sources.
Rifle System Advisor
Plan a complete custom rifle system — barrel selection, balance, downrange velocity, kinetic energy, wind drift, and effective hunting range.
The Process
The STEADY Process
Every project follows a structured six-step process from initial consultation through a clear customer handoff.
Consultation
We start with the shooter's intended use, cartridge, budget, timeline, and performance goal. No work begins without a clear understanding of what the rifle needs to do.
Component Plan
We match the action, barrel, stock or chassis, trigger, optic mounting system, and supporting components to the specific mission and cartridge.
Build or Inspection
For new rifles, we assemble the complete build. For accepted existing-rifle projects, we establish a sound rifle-and-optic platform through appropriate inspection and approved corrective work.
Ammunition Development
After the platform is confirmed ready, we test appropriate variables—including bullet, powder, velocity, primer, seating depth, and brass condition—to identify what that individual rifle performs best with.
Validation
We confirm repeatability with chronograph-supported testing, group testing, and, where appropriate, a Ransom Rifle Master Tester Mega 2 to reduce shooter input. Results are measured, not assumed.
Customer Handoff
The customer receives the rifle, recorded findings, setup notes, and load data specific to their build. Premium builds include video on a flash drive.
What You Receive
What Comes With a Brick House Project
A rifle is only as good as the whole chain: barrel, chamber, bedding, optic, ammunition, data, and shooter fit. We look at the whole chain before we recommend parts or take your money.
Build Plan
Component recommendations based on mission, cartridge, budget, and performance goals. No parts list without a purpose.
Rifle Inspection & Setup
Action, barrel, stock or chassis, trigger function, optic mounting, level, torque, and assembly are checked according to the project scope.
Ammunition Development
Where legally applicable, ammunition variables are tested for the confirmed rifle—not assumed to work because they group well in someone else's gun.
Range Validation
Chronograph data, group testing at meaningful distances, and machine-supported testing where appropriate to reduce shooter input and isolate rifle performance.
Performance Packet
Velocity data, group results, setup notes, load details, and customer handoff notes — so you know exactly what your rifle does.
Video Proof
Premium builds include trigger-cam footage, downrange target footage, and recorded shot-session media delivered on a flash drive at pickup.
Built by Appointment. Tested with Purpose.
Brick House Accuracy is built for customers who care about results. We are not trying to be the biggest shop in the country. We are building a focused, appointment-based operation where each rifle project gets a clear plan, careful setup, measured testing, and an honest handoff.
Brick House Accuracy does not just build rifles. We inspect, develop, test, record, and hand off work with confidence.
Measured Performance Testing
We Don’t Guess.
We Measure.
