This guide outlines the critical safety steps to follow after a misfire when testing old ammunition, as demonstrated by an experienced instructor. It emphasizes immediate cessation of fire, visual inspection of the firearm and barrel for obstructions like squib loads, and the importance of not firing again if a blockage is suspected. Adhering to these protocols is vital for preventing catastrophic firearm failure and ensuring shooter safety.

This video discusses a specific 25-ounce Caliber 12 shotgun shell, branded 'Seismic,' which the presenter refuses to fire again due to extreme recoil. While acknowledging that lighter and even 'Magnum' loads are manageable, the sheer weight of the Seismic projectile requires a highly specialized powder charge for safe firing. The presenter strongly advises against attempting to fire such heavy loads without proper expertise and specialized ammunition.

This guide, presented with high authority by JaredAF, details the significant fire hazard posed by unburnt gunpowder residue on shooting ranges. It emphasizes the need for regular cleaning to prevent potential fires, as the residue remains flammable regardless of moisture.

This video provides 13 essential secrets for ensuring firearms last for generations, focusing on meticulous maintenance and safe practices. Key takeaways include the critical importance of confirming a firearm is unloaded before any work, avoiding over-disassembly, immediate cleaning after shooting to remove corrosive residue, careful lubrication with appropriate products, and proper storage to control humidity and temperature. Following these techniques, as used by military armorers and gunsmiths, prevents premature wear and catastrophic failures.

This video explains why lever-action rifles predominantly use flat-nosed or round-nosed bullets. The primary reason is the tubular magazine design, where cartridges are stacked. Pointed bullets can be ignited by recoil striking the primer of the next round, causing a dangerous chain reaction. Modern solutions like Hornady's Leverevolution ammo use polymer tips to mitigate this risk.

This video provides an update on SnapPoint snap caps, addressing user feedback regarding empty primer pockets and bullet color. The instructor emphasizes that snap caps are designed to mimic live ammunition for realistic dry fire training, and users are responsible for distinguishing between live and inert rounds. SnapPoint now offers primer plugs and orange-colored snap caps to enhance realism and safety perception.

This video from 9-Hole Reviews delves into the critical differences between .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, and .223 Wylde chambers for AR-15 platforms. It explains how chamber dimensions, particularly the freebore length, affect pressure and safety when firing different ammunition types. The discussion highlights that while 5.56 chambers are generally safe for both .223 and 5.56 ammunition, .223 chambers may not be safe for 5.56 due to potential over-pressure issues. The .223 Wylde is presented as a hybrid option aiming for the best of both worlds.

This video details five common mistakes that can damage or destroy firearms. It covers improper cleaning techniques, over-lubrication issues, using incorrect or low-quality ammunition, forcing firearms through malfunctions, improper storage, and incorrect slide manipulation. The instructor emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance and handling to ensure firearm reliability and longevity.
