This review tests Captor brand 12 gauge buckshot and slugs, noting their affordability at around $4-$5 per box of 10 rounds. The reviewer found the ammunition cycled in multiple pump-action shotguns, though some extraction issues were encountered with a Stevens 350, potentially due to high brass casings. Velocities for slugs averaged 1375 ft/s and buckshot 1360 ft/s.

Countries worldwide are offloading large quantities of older military surplus ammunition into the US market due to logistical costs and global conflict re-evaluations. This has created a significant surplus of three specific calibers: .30-06 Springfield, 8mm Mauser (7.92x57mm), and 7.62x54R. These calibers are generally no longer standard issue for modern militaries, making them available at significantly reduced prices, often pre-2020 levels.

This video highlights two primary uses for a specific firearm build: as a .22 LR competition race gun and for training new shooters. For new shooters, the build's low recoil, cheap ammunition, and ergonomic features like a 'gas pedal' for the support thumb and an enhanced safety for the dominant thumb are emphasized as making firearm operation more comfortable and intuitive.

This video highlights significant issues encountered with Armscor ammunition, leading to firearm malfunctions in multiple platforms including a Glock 17 and a Taurus G2. The presenter demonstrates how inconsistent case lengths and potential bullet setback in the Armscor rounds prevent proper chambering and cycling, causing the firearms to jam. The analysis suggests poor quality control in the ammunition is the root cause, not the firearms themselves.

Joel Persinger of Gun Guy TV tests the accuracy of a Ruger Mini-14 with inexpensive ammunition at 50 and 100 yards. He evaluates the performance of 55-grain reloads and 62-grain Wolf ammunition, noting the impact of barrel temperature and the rifle's 1:7 twist rate on group sizes. The video emphasizes the importance of selecting the right ammunition for a specific rifle to achieve optimal accuracy.
