This video demonstrates the burn rates of different firearm powders, including black powder, H110, Trail Boss, and IMR 4350, when burned uncontained in the open. The presenter highlights significant differences in burn speed, with black powder being the most rapid and volatile, followed by pistol powders like Trail Boss, and then slower rifle powders like H110 and IMR 4350. The experiment serves as a visual comparison of powder characteristics outside of a firearm's pressure environment.
This video delves into the performance of .357 Magnum ammunition, specifically a "Max Charge" with H110 powder, fired from revolvers with 3-inch and 4 5/8-inch barrels. The primary focus is on chronograph data, indicating a detailed examination of velocity and potentially other ballistic factors. The content is geared towards firearm enthusiasts interested in handloading, ballistic testing, and understanding the performance characteristics of a potent magnum cartridge across different barrel lengths.
This video compares the performance of Hodgdon H110 and Accurate Lil' Gun powders for supersonic 300 Blackout loads using 110gr Barnes Tac-TX bullets. The experiment found Lil' Gun to yield higher average velocities and a better standard deviation compared to H110 with max charge loads, challenging common assumptions.
This YouTube video conducts a velocity test comparing Hodgdon H110 and Accurate Lil' Gun powders in .44 Magnum. The test utilizes a 4-inch barrel Colt Anaconda and a 7.5-inch barrel Ruger Super Blackhawk. Both 210-grain and 240-grain bullet weights are used for the comparison. The video aims to showcase the performance differences between the two popular propellants across different barrel lengths and bullet weights within the .44 Magnum caliber.
This video focuses on a specific ammunition load for the .357 Magnum caliber, featuring a 158-grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) bullet. It highlights the use of Hodgdon H110 powder in handloading this cartridge. The content likely delves into the performance characteristics, loading data, and potential applications of this particular .357 Magnum round. Viewers can expect insights into bullet construction, powder choice, and how these factors influence the ballistic properties of the ammunition, possibly including discussions on recoil, accuracy, and terminal ballistics for various firearm platforms chambered in .357 Magnum.
This video provides an update on ammunition availability and pricing across local shops and Rural King. The presenter highlights specific deals on calibers like 44 Magnum, 10mm, 357 Magnum, and 410 Bore, while also discussing the return of reloading powders. The speaker emphasizes that common calibers are readily available, countering 'fear-mongering' narratives about bans and shortages.
This video explores the critical differences between various gunpowder types, emphasizing that 'gunpowder isn't gunpowder.' It highlights how burn rate, powder shape (spherical vs. flake), and case volume significantly impact reloading outcomes for specific cartridges like the 300 Blackout and 308 Winchester. The discussion stresses the importance of consulting resources like the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center for optimal powder selection based on bullet weight, desired velocity, and pressure requirements to ensure safe and effective ammunition.
This guide details a load workup for 300 Blackout supersonic ammunition using 168gr Hornady A-Max bullets with IMR 4227 and Winchester 296 (H110) powders. It covers brass preparation, priming, powder charging, bullet seating with attention to overall length, and crimping. The process emphasizes careful observation of pressure signs and group sizes during live-fire testing at 100 yards using a Lead Sled for stability. The instructor, with apparent reloading experience, highlights discrepancies in published load data and the importance of individual firearm testing.
