This video analyzes the ATF ballistic report related to the Charlie Kirk assassination, clarifying what the findings mean and don't mean. The speaker, with experience in ballistics testing and 2A advocacy, explains that the report confirms a 30 caliber class projectile fragment was recovered. However, it does not definitively match the fragment to the specific Mouser 98 rifle found at the scene, only to the caliber class. The report also identified a fired cartridge case from the scene as originating from the Mouser 98 rifle and noted tool marks on casings consistent with a common rotary tool.

John G. Johnson, a firearms instructor from Cape Coral, Florida, outlines 10 upgrades and techniques to instantly improve shooting accuracy. He emphasizes that significant improvements can be made without buying a new gun, focusing instead on gear, technique, and mindset. Key takeaways include upgrading sights and triggers, practicing with quality holsters and grip enhancements, dedicating time to dry-firing, using consistent ammo, training with purpose, varying targets, utilizing video feedback, and following a structured plan.

This video from Brownells explains the key differences between match ammunition and bulk/practice ammunition. Match ammo is more consistently manufactured with higher quality components, leading to better accuracy but at a higher cost. While bulk ammo is suitable for general practice and training at typical self-defense distances, match ammo is designed for precision shooting where every detail matters. The video emphasizes that a firearm must already be accurate to benefit from match ammunition, and that consistent practice with more affordable ammo is often more beneficial for overall skill development.

This video compares the RCBS Matchmaster powder dispenser to the Charge Master Light, focusing on whether the higher precision of the Matchmaster (measuring to 1/100th of a grain vs. 1/10th) justifies the cost. Testing revealed a difference in standard deviation and extreme spread in chronograph readings, suggesting that for high-level competitors, the Matchmaster's precision can be a significant advantage in achieving tighter groups and better scores. For entry-level or mid-pack shooters, the benefit might be less pronounced.
