This video explores the maximum travel distance of 5.56mm ammunition, distinguishing it from effective range. While 5.56 has an effective range of 300-600 meters for terminal ballistics, a single round can travel up to 2.5 miles. The discussion emphasizes the critical safety implication of this long travel distance, urging shooters to always be aware of their target and the area beyond it.

This video provides a first look at the Labradar LX Compact Chronograph, a new mini-sized shooting chronograph utilizing Doppler radar. It measures projectile speeds for rifles, handguns, pellet guns, bows, and crossbows, offering data like maximum/minimum velocity, average velocity, extreme spread, and standard deviation. Key features include an internal battery and a bright LCD display. The LX's measurement ranges are detailed for different projectile types, and it includes a built-in IPSC/USPSA/IDPA Power Factor calculator. The video also directs viewers to Shooting Sports USA for more content.

This video delves into the development of Hornady's ELD (Extremely Low Drag) line of bullets. It highlights how Hornady utilized Doppler radar technology to optimize bullet design for both competition (ELD-M) and hunting (ELD-X) applications. A key innovation discussed is the Heat Shield tip, which prevents in-flight expansion and reduces drag. The ELD-X is designed for reliable expansion at low velocities for hunting, while the ELD-M is a match-grade bullet engineered for consistent accuracy with a thin jacket.
