Videos tagged with Barnes Tac-TX

This video tests the accuracy of a CVA Scout V2 Takedown rifle chambered in 300 Blackout. The instructor evaluates several ammunition types, including Speer TNT 125gr, Hornady SST 125gr, Barnes Tac-TX 110gr, and Hornady CX 110gr, noting the impact of wind and optic limitations on group sizes. The rifle is intended for deer hunting, and the instructor ultimately selects the 110gr Barnes Tac-TX or 125gr Hornady SST for its performance.

This video conducts a ballistic gel test comparing the 110-grain Barnes Tac-TX and Hornady CX all-copper bullets in 300 Blackout. The test utilizes both 10.5-inch and 16-inch barrels to evaluate terminal performance at different velocities. The presenter notes unexpected bullet behavior, including curving through the gel and varying expansion patterns between barrel lengths, challenging initial expectations about penetration and expansion.

This guide details a ballistic gelatin penetration test procedure, as demonstrated by Karl from Tactical Rifleman. The test evaluates how various rifle rounds, including M855 Green Tip, M855A1, 7.62x39mm, .300 Blackout, and M118LR, perform after passing through common building materials like brick and concrete blocks. The expert-level instruction emphasizes understanding terminal ballistics and over-penetration risks through consistent testing methods.

This video details the process of developing a supersonic hunting load for the 300 Blackout cartridge, specifically using 120gr Barnes TAC-TX bullets. The instructor, Johnny, focuses on efficiency due to an upcoming hog hunt, selecting H110 powder and CCI #450 primers. He demonstrates the loading process, including optional case flaring, and then proceeds to range testing to determine an optimal charge weight. The video also covers zeroing a rifle equipped with a red dot sight and iron sights for hunting applications.

This video is a follow-up, focusing on developing a supersonic hunting load for a 300 Blackout pistol/SBR. The specific setup utilizes a 110gr Barnes TAC-TX bullet and Winchester 296 powder, tested in an 8.5-inch barrel. The video aims to provide practical information for hunters using this popular caliber in a compact firearm platform.

This comprehensive guide details the development of a supersonic .300 Blackout hunting load using the 110gr Barnes TAC-TX bullet. Expert instructor Johnny from Johnny's Reloading Bench methodically tests loads with Hodgdon Lil' Gun and Winchester 296 powders, analyzing chronograph data and group sizes. The Winchester 296 powder proved superior, yielding exceptional consistency and velocity, making it the recommended choice for .300 Blackout hunting.

This video details the initial stages of developing 300 Blackout hunting loads, focusing on velocity testing with 110gr V-Max bullets. The instructor explores different powders (Norma 200, Winchester 296, Lil' Gun) and their performance, highlighting the importance of velocity for bullet expansion and effective range. While accuracy was secondary, the primary goal was to identify powders that could achieve desired velocities for hunting applications, particularly for deer.

This video details the process of converting 5.56 brass into 300 Blackout cases. It covers cutting the brass, sizing it in a 300 Blackout die, trimming to length, and a preliminary annealing process. The instructor emphasizes the importance of proper case preparation for successful reloading and highlights potential challenges and techniques for beginners.
