This video compares the 5.56x45mm NATO, 6.5 Grendel, and 7.62x39mm calibers at 100 yards, focusing on velocity and energy retention. The presenter, identifying as a "hillbilly out here in the backyard shooting," conducts a practical test using 16-inch barreled rifles. The results highlight how bullet weight, ballistic coefficient, and caliber diameter influence downrange performance.

This video compares the 50 Beowulf and 6.5 Grendel, focusing on how ballistic coefficient affects bullet performance at 100 yards. It demonstrates significant velocity and energy loss in the 50 Beowulf's low BC bullet compared to the 6.5 Grendel's higher BC bullet, highlighting the importance of BC even at shorter distances.
