This guide details the setup, calibration, and operation of the RCBS Chargemaster Link reloading scale. It emphasizes the importance of warming up the scale, ensuring it is level, and performing accurate calibration using the included weights. The video demonstrates both manual and app-controlled dispensing, highlighting the 'Auto' mode for efficient high-volume reloading and the necessity of using reliable load data.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to zeroing and calibrating the M1 Garand's iron sights. It covers pre-flight checks, initial zeroing at 25 yards, and calibration of the elevation drum for multiple ranges. The instructor emphasizes the importance of understanding minute-of-angle adjustments and offers practical tips for ensuring accuracy with this classic battle rifle.

The Shotkam Gen 4 MINI is a compact gun-mounted camera designed for training and capturing shooting memories. This expert review highlights its 1/3 smaller size and lighter weight compared to the standard Gen 4, while retaining core technical features. The guide details the mounting and calibration process, video settings, and provides insights into its performance for clay shooting and hunting, emphasizing its value as a training tool for self-awareness and improvement. The reviewer, an experienced firearms instructor, assesses its impact on gun balance and shooting technique.

This guide details the complex calibration process for the Heckler & Koch Ziel Punkt Projektor (ZPP), a rare 1970s aiming device. Expert Ian McCollum demonstrates how to use a specialized tool to align internal filaments via rear adjustment screws, ensuring the projected aiming circle and dot are correctly focused and sized for effective low-light aiming. Proper calibration is crucial for the device's intended function on HK 90-series rifles.

This episode of Practical Shooting After Dark discusses a recent rule change in USPSA regarding proper calibration, aiming to address inconsistencies. The panel also explores the declining popularity of the Production division in the US, attributing it partly to stage design that favors higher capacity firearms. They suggest that more dynamic stage designs and potentially a Production 15 round count could revitalize interest in lower-capacity divisions.

This guide details how to verify the accuracy and performance of digital scales used in ammunition reloading, drawing from an expert assessment of multiple models. It covers setting up the scale, using check weights for calibration, testing sensitivity with powder, and evaluating critical features like auto-off timers. The insights are from a highly experienced reloader who tested 16 different scales.

This video tutorial demonstrates how to calibrate muzzle velocity within the SIG Sauer BDX app. It focuses on the setup and functionality of the app for firearm enthusiasts looking to optimize their ballistic data for accurate shooting. The process involves ensuring the app has the correct muzzle velocity for the specific ammunition being used, which is crucial for the BDX system's ballistic calculations.

This guide provides practical tips for optimizing the ATN Thor thermal optic for night hunting. Key recommendations include managing battery life by disabling non-essential features like Wi-Fi and GPS, performing initial calibration ('nuking') to ensure optimal performance, and adjusting brightness to preserve the user's night vision. The speaker emphasizes that thermal optics make targets like hogs highly visible, even at lower brightness settings.

This video emphasizes the critical role of ballistic solvers in long-range shooting. It highlights Applied Ballistics' solver, available on various platforms like smartphone apps, Kestrel devices, and Accuracy First's scope. The core message is that the same solver runs across these devices, accessing a consistent library of tested ballistic coefficients, ensuring solution accuracy is device-independent. The Kestrel is recommended for its handiness, versatility, and dependability, especially for integrating live atmospheric data.

This YouTube video showcases a USPSA competition event held in Puyallup, Washington, in March 2016. The focus is on Stage 5, featuring a Tanfoglio Stock 2 pistol. Notably, a popper target failed to fall, and the description mentions the shooter 'won the calibration,' implying a successful resolution or performance within the stage rules despite the target malfunction.
