This video provides essential guidance on determining the lifespan of magnum brass cases during reloading. Instructor Kent Sakamoto explains that magnum cartridges like the 7 PRC, due to higher pressures, typically yield 3-4 reloads, whereas lower-pressure cartridges such as the 6.5 Creedmoor or 6 GT can last for six or more reloads. Key inspection points include looking for case neck splits, pierced primers, black residue around the primer pocket, and loose primer pockets, all indicating excessive pressure or wear that necessitates retiring the brass.

This review of the Bergara Premier Competition Rifle in 6 GT highlights its excellent out-of-the-box performance, particularly its MasterPiece Arms chassis.

It compares budget-friendly options like the Lee Collet Die with more advanced systems like full-length bushing dies and expander mandrels, detailing their mechanisms, pros, and cons. The presenter emphasizes how these methods reduce brass work and improve consistency compared to traditional full-length sizing dies.

This video demonstrates a rudimentary test of the Terminus Zeus action's return-to-zero capability. The presenter removes and re-installs the switch barrel multiple times, firing groups at 100 yards after each reinstallation to assess point-of-impact shift. The results suggest a very close return to zero, making it suitable for hunting scenarios.

This video demonstrates the ease of switching barrels on a Terminus Zeus action. The presenter shows how to remove a 6 GT barrel and install a 6 Creedmoor barrel using a single set screw system, highlighting the repeatability and field-serviceability of the design for precision rifle applications.
