This video reviews True Velocity Ammunition, highlighting its polymer-cased cartridges. The ammunition is noted for its lightweight design (approximately 30% lighter than brass), advanced three-piece construction with a steel head, and potential performance benefits like reduced powder charges for the same velocity. The reviewer tested two .308 Win. loads, a 175-grain Nosler hollow-point boattail and a 170-grain Accubond, across three rifles: a Springfield Armory 2020 Waypoint, a Colt 901, and a Springfield M1A. Performance, including accuracy and ease of extraction, is discussed, with promising results noted. The ammunition is positioned as a premium offering with a premium price, representing a significant step in cartridge case evolution.

The Colt M.A.R.C. (Modular AR Carbine) 16 SE is a modular AR-style carbine featuring a monolithic upper receiver machined from a single block of aluminum. Unlike previous models like the Colt 901, the M.A.R.C. 16 SE allows users to customize rail placement, offering flexibility for accessory mounting and a more comfortable grip for shooters who don't require extensive rail real estate. The platform is designed to accept Colt's 5.56 NATO uppers on its 901 receiver via an adapter block, expanding its versatility.
