This video details modifications made to a Carl Gustaf CG80 target rifle, originally a Swedish M1896 Mauser, for competition shooting. The rifle features a heavy German target barrel, a modified cocking piece for reduced lock time, improved adapter sights, and a free-floating stock. The presenter discusses accuracy challenges with 140-grain Sierra Match Kings and subsequent testing with Barnes Match Burners.

This video tests the 140gr Barnes Match Burner ammunition in a 6.5 Creedmoor caliber. The testing platform is a Thompson Center Compass rifle, and two different propellants are being evaluated: Accurate 4350 and Vihtavuori N550. Notably, the experiment encountered significant hang fire issues with the N550 powder, which will be a focus of a future video. The description also mentions a recent update to remove all external links to comply with YouTube's content policies.

This video details accuracy tests comparing a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) 16-inch 5.56 upper with a stainless steel barrel against an AR Stoner 16-inch barrel. The testing involved four different bullet types (55gr Hornady FMJ, 55gr Midsouth Varmint Nightmare, 69gr Sierra Match King, 69gr Barnes Match Burner) and various powders, with groups measured at 100 yards. While neither barrel definitively outperformed the other across all loads, the PSA barrel showed slightly better performance with lighter bullets, and the AR Stoner with heavier bullets. The presenter concludes that both offer acceptable accuracy for their budget price point.
