Jerry Miculek discusses various Hodgdon and Winchester reloading propellants, highlighting their applications and characteristics. He explains the differences between ball and extruded powders, the benefits of temperature-insensitive 'extreme' powders, and demonstrates the burn characteristics of smokeless powder versus cordite. The video emphasizes choosing the right powder for specific calibers and shooting disciplines.

This guide details an experiment comparing large vs. small primers and flash hole sizes in .308 Winchester cartridges. The expert demonstrates how primer choice and case fill are more critical for ignition reliability than flash hole size, using specific components like Hodgdon H335 and S&B small rifle primers to induce hangfires. The findings highlight systematic variable isolation for precision handloading.

This guide details a methodical approach to testing the impact of bullet crimp on .223 Remington ammunition reliability and accuracy. Expertly demonstrated by Johnny, the process involves systematically varying crimp levels using a Lee Factory Crimp Die and analyzing results for bullet setback and group dispersion. The findings indicate that for this specific load, crimp has minimal effect on performance, highlighting the importance of empirical testing for handloaders.
