This video provides a detailed comparison between the 6 GT and 6 Dasher rifle cartridges, highlighting the 6 GT's improved magazine feeding. It showcases a custom 6mm GT rifle setup, including specific components like an Impact 737R action and an Athlon Cronus BTR scope. The content emphasizes the low recoil and stability of these cartridges, demonstrated by a successful 1,000-yard cold bore shot.

This video showcases a custom .223 Wylde bolt-action rifle being tested with various ammunition types, including Fiocchi, FGMM, and Berger. The new Athlon Rangecraft chronograph is also put through its paces, with its accuracy compared to a Garmin Xero Chrono. The content focuses on demonstrating the performance of different ammunition and the accuracy of the chronograph, offering insights into selecting ammo for precision shooting and long-range engagement. The video aims to provide a straightforward look at tools for precision shooting.

The Accuracy International Arctic Warfare (AWP) in 7.62mm demonstrates exceptional precision, achieving sub-MOA groups with match-grade ammunition like Berger 175gr OTM (0.45 inches) and Federal Gold Medal Match (0.75 inches). Even standard GGG M80 ball ammo performed well (1.71 inches). The rifle's bonded receiver construction ensures consistent performance, and it showed no point-of-impact shift when suppressed with a Dead Air Nomad.

This video compares two popular 140-grain rifle projectiles: Hornady ELD-M and Berger Target Hybrid. The content emphasizes that true ammo testing requires solid marksmanship fundamentals, as group performance can be misleading when using sleds that don't reflect practical shooting scenarios.

This video details extensive light bullet testing for the 6mm ARC cartridge, evaluating bullets from 58gr to 90gr with various powders. The 68gr Bart's Ultra and 90gr Nosler Ballistic Tip emerged as top performers, showcasing exceptional accuracy. The test also compared two reloading presses, finding minimal accuracy differences between the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic and Lyman All-American 8 Turret Press.

This video showcases a remarkable 1376-yard elk hunt by a 12-year-old using a Gunwerks rifle chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. It highlights the critical importance of precise range estimation, scope adjustments (32.5 MOA), and marksmanship for extreme long-range success. The hunt involved significant preparation, including hiking and dry-fire practice, culminating in a successful two-shot engagement on a bull elk.

This video details the meticulous process of manufacturing premium long-range ammunition by Gunwerks. It highlights the critical role of high-quality components like Lapua brass, Berger bullets, and Hodgdon powders. The process involves precise setup of progressive reloading presses and electronic powder dispensers, ensuring accuracy to the tenth of a grain. Each round undergoes rigorous quality control to meet the 'Ultimate Long Range Ammunition' standard for 1000-yard performance.

Mastering wind speed and direction is crucial for long-range accuracy, often more so than cartridge choice. Techniques include using handheld wind meters, analyzing mirage through optics, and observing environmental indicators like vegetation sway. A high ballistic coefficient cartridge, such as the 7mm Remington Magnum, offers a greater margin for error compared to lower BC options like the .308 Winchester when dealing with wind.

This video demonstrates a safe method for determining the maximum powder charge for handloaded ammunition by analyzing brass flow. Aaron Davidson of Gunwerks explains how to incrementally increase powder charges and inspect fired cases for ejector marks, indicating pressure. The optimal charge is found by identifying the first sign of pressure and reducing it slightly.

This video provides a DIY guide to adjusting reloading dies, focusing on the sizing and seating operations. It details the precise steps for setting up both the sizing die and the seating die, including crucial adjustments for seating depth and overall cartridge length (OAL). The content emphasizes proper lubrication and verification using digital calipers for accurate handloaded ammunition.
