This video empirically tests the .30-06 Springfield cartridge's effectiveness, particularly against steel penetration, debunking the 'fudd cartridge' myth. While some loads like the Hornady 178gr ELD-X failed to penetrate 1/2 inch steel, others like the Federal 165gr Bonded Soft Point succeeded. Specialized rounds, including military M2 AP and M14A1 API, demonstrated significant penetration capabilities, with the M2 AP penetrating up to 1 inch of mild steel. The .30-06 is concluded to be a highly capable cartridge, comparable to modern alternatives like the .308 Winchester, especially with high-pressure or specialized loads.

This video provides a practical guide to selecting and patterning buckshot for home defense shotguns, emphasizing the importance of testing ammunition in your specific firearm. Chris Baker from Lucky Gunner demonstrates how different buckshot loads, particularly 00 Buck, perform at common indoor distances, highlighting the impact of shell design and wads on pattern consistency. The expert assessment underscores the need for shooters to pattern their own chosen loads to ensure effective and safe performance.

This video provides a review of the Enfield P14 rifle chambered in .303 British. It showcases the rifle's bolt-action operation, loading five rounds into the internal magazine, and live-fire demonstration. The review highlights the use of Federal Power-Shok ammunition and the rifle's historical significance, likely from 1918.

This video conducts a destructive ballistic test on a human torso dummy using a powerful 12-gauge shotgun slug, dubbed the 'Heavy Hitter'. The slug caused extreme internal damage, completely destroying the dummy and dumping all its energy. Subsequent tests with Federal Power-Shok and DDupleks Broadhead slugs showed less catastrophic results, highlighting the exceptional power of the initial specialty round.

This review covers the Springfield M1A Fully Loaded Precision rifle in .308 Winchester. The rifle features a 22-inch barrel, adjustable stock, and weighs 11.4 lbs. While praised for its build quality and low recoil, the reviewer experienced a failure to eject malfunction with PMC Bronze ammunition. The rifle is noted as front-heavy and long, making it challenging to hold steady in standing.

This review of the Mossberg Patriot .308 highlights significant accuracy issues, with groups ranging from 1.1 to over 4 inches depending on ammunition. Despite testing various loads and troubleshooting, the rifle failed to consistently achieve sub-MOA accuracy, a standard the reviewer expects even from budget firearms. Reliability issues with feeding were also noted, making it a disappointing 'redemption' attempt for Mossberg.

This test debunks the myth that .308 Win is ineffective from short barrels, using a 10.3-inch Springfield Armory Saint Pistol. Federal 150gr Powershok ammunition achieved 15.9 inches of penetration with 93% retained weight and significant expansion, exceeding 7.62x39mm performance from longer barrels. While terminally effective, the extreme muzzle blast and flash necessitate a suppressor for practical home defense use.

This review of the Weatherby Vanguard "Wilderness" Edition in .270 Win highlights its design for lightweight, walk-and-stalk hunting. While praised for its low weight (3kg/6.75 lbs) and comfortable 2-stage 3lb trigger, its accuracy with non-premium ammunition was fair but not exceptional. The rifle's pencil-thin barrel heats up rapidly, making it unsuitable for sustained range fire, a key trade-off for its portability.
