This video provides an expert-level ballistics comparison between the 6.5 Grendel and 50 Beowulf calibers, utilizing a LabRadar for precise velocity and kinetic energy measurements at 100 yards. The analysis highlights the 6.5 Grendel's superior aerodynamic efficiency and energy retention beyond 100 yards, despite the 50 Beowulf's higher initial energy. The instructor's use of empirical data and detailed analysis demonstrates high authority in ballistics testing.

This video details the process of reloading 5.56x45mm ammunition using the 65-grain Sierra Game King bullet and Hodgdon CFE 223 powder. It covers load development from 24.0 to 26.6 grains, explores the impact of overall length variations (2.210" to 2.260"), and includes ballistics testing with velocity data and water jug expansion tests. The instructor emphasizes careful monitoring of pressure signs and provides insights into achieving consistent groups with an off-the-shelf AR-15.
