Videos tagged with Extreme Spread

This video provides an expert-level accuracy test of the Athlon Rangecraft chronograph, comparing it against established benchmarks like the Garmin Xero C1 Pro and Magnetospeed V3. The analysis, conducted by Gary from Paramount Tactical, a dealer for Athlon products, delves into detailed ballistic data including average velocity, standard deviation, and extreme spread over 20 shots. The Rangecraft demonstrates competitive accuracy, though its lower extreme spread is noted as an outlier requiring further investigation.

This video provides a first look at the Athlon Rangecraft Velocity Pro Chronograph, unveiled at Shot Show 2025. The presenter highlights its intuitive interface, easy shot deletion, and quick access to various ballistic metrics like extreme spread, deviation, kinetic energy, and power factor. It boasts a 30% faster analysis speed than competitors and pairs with the Athlon Ballistics App via Bluetooth for data storage and rifle association. The chronograph is rated for velocities from 65 ft/s to 5,000 ft/s and is priced at an affordable $350 MSRP, with an expected release in early April.

This video evaluates Winchester Service Grade 115-grain 9mm ammunition, focusing on its performance in terms of muzzle velocity and energy. The presenter uses a chronograph and a Grand Power K100 pistol to gather data, aiming to determine if this ammunition offers good value for range use. The results suggest it's a 'spicy' load with significant muzzle energy, potentially beneficial for reliable cycling in various conditions.

This comprehensive review by Preston Moore delves into the accuracy and durability of Geissele Automatics' 16.25" CHF 5.56mm Barrel. Leveraging expert-level analysis, including borescope inspections and extensive 30-round group testing with various ammunition, Moore provides detailed ballistic data. The review highlights the barrel's performance against competitors, offering valuable insights for AR-15 builders seeking high-quality components.

This video compares the RCBS Matchmaster powder dispenser to the Charge Master Light, focusing on whether the higher precision of the Matchmaster (measuring to 1/100th of a grain vs. 1/10th) justifies the cost. Testing revealed a difference in standard deviation and extreme spread in chronograph readings, suggesting that for high-level competitors, the Matchmaster's precision can be a significant advantage in achieving tighter groups and better scores. For entry-level or mid-pack shooters, the benefit might be less pronounced.

This review of Winchester Active Duty 9mm ammunition, often cited as similar to US Army issue, focuses on its performance characteristics. The testing highlights its high velocity and energy output, suggesting it's a potent round suitable for defensive applications or duty use where reliable cycling is paramount. While accuracy was not the primary focus, the ammunition demonstrated significant energy, potentially exceeding standard NATO specifications.

This video tests the performance of CCI Mini-Mag .22 LR ammunition across a range of temperatures, from a deep freeze to direct sunlight. The results indicate that colder temperatures generally led to tighter extreme spreads and lower standard deviations, with the hottest conditions producing the worst performance. The presenter notes this was unexpected and provides raw chronograph data for analysis.

This episode of the Longrange Pursuit podcast, featuring Gunwerks, delves into the critical factors that constitute high-quality ammunition for long-range shooting. The discussion emphasizes that ammunition is an integral part of the entire rifle system, not an afterthought. Key takeaways include the importance of meticulous component selection, understanding internal and external ballistics, and the process of load development to achieve consistency and precision.

This video provides a comparative analysis of various .22 LR ammunition types, focusing on velocity consistency. The host uses a Ruger 10/22 and a chronograph to measure average velocity, standard deviation, and extreme spread for CCI Mini-Mags, CCI Stingers, Federal Bulk Pack, Federal Target Grade, Remington Thunderbolts, and SK Rifle Match. The data suggests that premium ammunition like SK Rifle Match offers superior consistency over bulk options, directly impacting accuracy potential.

This video evaluates Sellier & Bellot 9mm 115gr FMJ ammunition as common range fodder. The testing methodology involves a chronograph at 7 yards to assess velocity, extreme spread, and standard deviation, alongside cost per round analysis. The presenter uses a 4.25-inch Grand Power K100 pistol for consistency, noting potential velocity differences compared to shorter barrels.

This video provides an expert-level breakdown of how to choose the right ammunition, focusing on internal, external, and terminal ballistics. Lead Firearms Instructor Jimmy B Rodriguez explains key metrics like velocity, standard deviation, and extreme spread, and how bullet types (ball vs. hollow point boat tail) affect ballistic coefficient and terminal performance. The content is geared towards shooters of gas guns, precision rifles, and carbines, emphasizing context and goals for effective ammo selection.
