This video demonstrates the effectiveness of the 7mm Remington Magnum cartridge for hunting Aoudad. The footage shows a successful shot on a large Aoudad, highlighting the caliber's suitability for this type of game. The speaker, while enthusiastic, appears to be a hobbyist rather than a professional instructor.

This video offers expert insights from a seasoned firearms instructor on various tactical gear and shooting techniques. Key takeaways include the advantages of LPVOs for target identification in brush, the utility of 12 o'clock red dots for passive night vision, and recommendations for rifle builds like the SPR for civilian long-range engagement. The instructor also discusses handgun value with Canik, suppressor options like the Witt Machine Mod 1, and essential civilian training principles.

Modern cartridges are increasingly challenging classic designs by focusing on high Ballistic Coefficient (BC) bullets and faster twist rates for improved long-range accuracy. While classics like the .270 Win and .300 Win Mag retain popularity due to history and availability, newer cartridges like the 7mm PRC and 6.5 Creedmoor are gaining significant traction. The future trend points towards higher pressure ammunition for enhanced performance in shorter barrels.

This video compares the 7mm PRC, 7mm Rem Mag, and .280 Rem through various barrier tests including wood, steel, and concrete. The 7mm PRC consistently demonstrated superior performance in cratering steel targets, especially after concrete penetration. While the 7mm Rem Mag showed competitive results in some steel tests and higher average velocity with a lighter bullet, the 7mm PRC led in muzzle energy.

This comparison tested the penetration capabilities of 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, and 338 Win Mag against various barriers including wood, mild steel, sand, and concrete. While all calibers performed similarly through wood, sand, and concrete, the 300 Win Mag demonstrated superior penetration through thicker mild steel plates, making it the overall winner in this specific test scenario.

This video explores the concept of the 'best' hunting rifle, concluding it's the one a shooter is most confident and proficient with. It showcases four distinct rifle setups used on a bear hunt, testing their zero retention after rugged field use. Key takeaways include the importance of proper scope mounting, the utility of modern features like adjustable stocks and Arca rails, and the enduring reliability of classic platforms when paired with shooter confidence.

Choosing the right elk hunting rifle emphasizes scope importance over brand for rapid target acquisition. Lightweight rifles like the Tikka T3x Superlite are ideal for backpack hunts, while heavier options suit base camp setups. The 7mm PRC is highlighted as a top cartridge for its penetration and bullet performance, with bonded or copper bullets recommended for elk.

This video features a panel of experts discussing the best cartridges for long-range shooting across various disciplines. They highlight the 6 Dasher for its mild recoil and ease of loading, the 7mm Sherman Max for its heavy bullet capability, and the 7 PRCW for its efficiency. Practical long-range options like the .223 Remington and the widely available 7mm Remington Magnum are also discussed, with a focus on balancing performance, availability, and cost.

This video investigates the actual impact of suppressors on firearm muzzle velocity. The experiment involves testing five different cartridges across multiple firearm setups, including 9mm, 10mm, .308 Winchester, .30-06, and 7mm Remington Magnum. For each cartridge, a five-shot average is taken both with and without a suppressor attached. Rifle cartridge testing at 100 yards is also conducted. The data was collected using a Magnetospeed V3 chronograph, and the video acknowledges that results can vary based on equipment. It highlights the specific firearms, barrels, suppressors, and ammunition used in the test.

This video provides an in-depth review of the world's first public 7mm PRC rifle build. It details the custom rifle's specifications, including the Defiance action, Preferred Barrel Blanks barrel, MDT chassis, and Leupold optic. The review includes crucial velocity testing with various powders and bullet weights, offering valuable insights into safe pressure limits and expected factory load performance. A direct comparison with the 7mm Rem Mag highlights the 7mm PRC's velocity advantage.

The 7mm PRC cartridge has officially been released and SAAMI certified, with Hornady expected to make a public announcement soon. It offers superior energy and effective range compared to common hunting cartridges, boasting a maximum effective range of 910 yards and a 4-inch MPBR out to 265 yards. Designed for efficiency, it aims for a balance between performance and barrel life, estimated at 1,500 rounds, with manageable recoil.

The 7mm Remington Magnum offers a slight edge in long-range energy and trajectory due to higher ballistic coefficients, while the .30-06 Springfield provides greater bullet weight versatility and is significantly cheaper for factory ammunition. Recoil is comparable, but the .30-06 is more efficient in shorter barrels and easier for reloaders due to its non-belted case.
