Videos tagged with Bullet Energy

This video provides an in-depth look at the 22 Creedmoor cartridge and a custom rifle build by Maniacal Arms. Host KJ and gunsmith Todd Bonura discuss the cartridge's ballistics, comparing it favorably to the 6 Creedmoor in terms of retained energy and velocity due to bullet sleekness. They highlight its potential for hunting and competition, the importance of shot placement, and the advancements in modern ammunition and bullet construction that make cartridges like the 22 Creedmoor highly effective.

This segment discusses the ethical considerations and practicalities of long-range hunting, specifically for elk. The speaker advises against taking shots at 1000 yards due to variables like wind and animal movement, which can lead to wounded game. For those considering a long-range rifle, the 6.8 Western is recommended over the 300 Win Mag for its superior ballistic performance at distance, less recoil, and comparable or better energy retention beyond 300 yards.

The discussion covers various firearms-related topics, including ammunition effectiveness, handgun comparisons, and firearm maintenance. The speaker, identified as The Yankee Marshal, offers insights based on his experience, particularly regarding the performance of different 9mm ammunition types and the maintenance of revolvers. The conversation also touches on broader topics like gun control and YouTube's terms of service.

This video debunks the common misconception that kinetic bullet energy directly represents a cartridge's 'killing power.' The creator argues that this is a myth often exploited for ammunition sales, and explains that understanding bullet weight, diameter, and construction is crucial for a more accurate assessment. The video aims to clarify the complex relationship between kinetic energy and terminal ballistics using simple illustrations and standard ammunition data.

This video explains how to use the 'Fire Solution' feature on the G7 Ballistic Calculator. It details how to input environmental factors like air density and incline to calculate a 'shoot-to' range, which adjusts for ballistic turrets or reticle holds. The output also includes drop, wind deflection, spin drift, target lead, time of flight, bullet energy, and velocity.
