Gary from Paramount Tactical discusses the debate surrounding 300 PRC brass, comparing Lapua and ADG. He notes ADG's superior packaging and initial observations of thicker ADG brass, highlighting that its impact on consistency and longevity is yet to be determined through testing. The video aims to guide viewers in their pursuit of precision 300 PRC.

This video showcases the Frankford Arsenal tumbler's ability to clean severely tarnished 5.56 brass, testing its effectiveness on what the uploader calls the "World's Dirtiest Brass." It's presented as the first step in addressing ammunition shortages. The creator explicitly states no affiliation with manufacturers and that no firearms or ammunition are for sale. The focus is solely on the brass cleaning process.

This guide explains the function and setup of L.E. Wilson bushing dies for reloading. It details how bushing dies offer adjustable neck sizing by using interchangeable bushings, which is crucial for managing varying brass neck thicknesses across different manufacturers and calibers. The process involves measuring the cartridge neck, selecting a bushing (typically 0.001" to 0.003" smaller than the loaded cartridge neck diameter), inserting it into the die, and setting the stem to allow for slight float. This method helps improve case concentricity and consistency, especially for precision shooting applications.

This video introduces Gunwerks Brass, highlighting its engineering for long-range shooting performance and consistency. Key features emphasized include minimal variation in weight, runout, neck thickness, and annealing, leading to tight velocity spreads. The brass is packaged in a reusable 100-round pouch and is available in various calibers with more to come. The description also encourages viewers to subscribe for more content on long shots, tough shots, shooting tips, DIY, and ballistics from the Gunwerks YouTube channel.

This guide details the process of annealing brass cartridge cases using Annealing Made Perfect's advanced system. It emphasizes achieving consistent hardness levels through precise temperature-time control and micro Vickers hardness testing. The guide covers using the machine's 'Sort' and 'Analyze' functions to generate batch-specific annealing codes, ensuring optimal neck tension and case longevity for reloaders.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of annealing cartridge brass, a crucial step in reloading for accuracy and case longevity. It covers the 'why' and 'how,' detailing budget-friendly methods like the water pan and drill/socket techniques, as well as the professional Bench Source Vertex machine. The instruction emphasizes understanding brass metallurgy, case zones, and the benefits of restoring ductility, particularly for long-range precision. Safety precautions are paramount throughout the process.

This guide details advanced cartridge case preparation techniques for handloaders seeking higher accuracy. It covers essential steps like inspection, trimming, deburring, and weight sorting, progressing to specialized processes like neck turning and neck sizing. The instruction emphasizes the importance of uniform case capacity and concentricity for precision shooting, drawing on the expertise of GunBlue490.
