This video details the process of finding an accuracy node for 6.5 Grendel ammunition using H335 powder and 123gr ELD-M bullets from factory seconds. The instructor chronographs various powder charges fired from an 18-inch Bear Creek Arsenal barrel to identify a velocity node, then selects a charge weight for load development and accuracy testing. Initial results indicate the barrel may not be inherently accurate, prompting a discussion about potential future load development with different powders.

This video demonstrates the ballistic performance of a Marlin 1895 SBL chambered in .45-70 Government against a bowling pin. The test utilizes handloaded ammunition featuring a 350-grain Hornady soft nose bullet with 55 grains of H335 powder. The results show significant destruction of the bowling pin, with bullets often fragmenting or failing to fully penetrate, highlighting the .45-70's substantial energy transfer.

This video details a .223 Remington 55-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullet shootout using Hodgdon H335 powder. The instructor tests five different bullet types (Hornady, Bob's Bullet, Everglades V2, RMR, Lapua) at two overall lengths (short and full magazine length) to evaluate accuracy and velocity. While H335 is a popular choice for plinking ammo due to its metering characteristics, the results suggest it may not be the most accurate powder for this specific application with these bullets, with the Everglades V2 showing the most consistent good accuracy.
