This guide details the initial firing and zeroing process for a custom 300 PRC rifle build, as demonstrated by Kit Badger. It covers suppressor installation, chronograph use for velocity data, precise scope adjustments, and long-range accuracy verification using ballistic apps. The expert instruction emphasizes methodical procedures and data logging for optimal performance and barrel life.
This guide outlines the essential gear for aspiring long-range shooters, as presented by Justin from Palmetto State Armory. It covers selecting the right rifle and caliber (6.5 Creedmoor or .308), choosing appropriate optics with an understanding of reticle types, and the importance of a stable shooting platform with bipods and bags. The guide also highlights the utility of ballistic calculators, binoculars, and chronographs for achieving accuracy at extended distances.
This comprehensive comparison, led by an experienced firearm instructor, pits the Sig P365 X-Macro Comp, Shadow Systems CR920XP, and Springfield Hellcat Pro Comp against each other. Through extensive range testing and chronograph data using a Garmin Xero C1, the CR920XP emerges as the top performer for its soft recoil and flat shooting. The Sig X-Macro secures second place, praised for its ergonomics and reliability, while the Hellcat Pro Comp, despite its snappier recoil and heavier trigger, is noted as a solid budget-friendly option.
This comprehensive .22 LR ammunition test evaluates various loads across four velocity categories (Quiet, Subsonic, High Velocity, Hyper Velocity) using ballistic gel. Performance differences between rifle and pistol platforms are highlighted, with some exotic rounds like the Aguila SSS and tracers showing unique wound channel characteristics. Expansion and penetration vary significantly, with hyper-velocity rounds like Federal Punch and Aguila Supermaximum demonstrating the most dramatic terminal effects.
This expert analysis from Military Arms Channel compares the M855 and M855A1 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges. While M855A1 demonstrates superior terminal ballistics with immediate fragmentation in ballistics gel, it significantly increases chamber pressure, leading to accelerated rifle wear, reduced barrel life, and potential feed ramp damage. The analysis highlights that M855A1's destructive impact on firearms makes it less suitable for high-volume civilian use despite its terminal effectiveness.
This video provides a first look at the FX Panthera .22 caliber airgun from Utah Airguns, presented by Kit Badger.
