Ivan from Kit Badger details the first shots and zeroing process for his 300 PRC rifle build. He highlights the effectiveness of the AB Suppressors Raptor, discusses the 300 PRC cartridge's origins and capabilities, and demonstrates zeroing at 100 yards using a Garmin Xero C1 chronograph. The video showcases long-range accuracy out to 1,112 yards with the aid of the Hornady 4DOF app and emphasizes the importance of data logging.

This video introduces the Leupold BX6 Range HD range-finding binoculars, presented at SHOT Show 2026. The device features a 10x42 configuration with high-quality glass and integrates Hornady's 4DOF ballistic solver. Users can create custom ballistic profiles via the Hornady app and sync them to the binoculars for real-time shooting solutions displayed internally.

This review tests the accuracy of a vintage Thompson/Center Arms Hawken muzzleloader at extended ranges. While capable of 100-200 yard accuracy with a 370-grain Maxi-Ball and 120 grains of black powder, its ballistic performance degrades significantly beyond that. The video highlights the challenges of long-range shooting with historical firearms and the necessity of modern optics and ballistic calculators.

This guide, presented by former special operations sniper Ryan Cleckner, details how to gather essential DOPE (Data on Previous Engagements) for long-range shooting using Minutes of Angle (MOA). It emphasizes using ammunition box data as a baseline, calculating MOA adjustments for specific distances, verifying with ballistic software, and refining shots through live fire. The importance of meticulously recording confirmed data for future use under similar conditions is stressed.

This video features Rifles & Optics Editor Tom Beckstrand demonstrating the long-range capabilities of the .300 Blackout cartridge, typically known for its effectiveness at shorter ranges. Using a SIG Sauer MCX Virtus Pistol with a 9-inch barrel and Black Hills 125-grain TMK ammunition, Beckstrand aims to hit steel targets at 600 yards. He utilizes Hornady's 4DOF ballistic calculator to aid in achieving this challenging distance, showcasing the versatility of the .300 Blackout beyond its intended role.

This video introduces Precision Rifle Shooting (PRS) with Tom Beckstrand, rifles and optics editor for Guns & Ammo. Beckstrand explains that PRS competition offers advanced rifle shooting education, even surpassing his experience as a sniper. The content covers the nature of PRS matches, including positional shooting with unconventional rests, rapid-fire precision shots at long distances (400-1,200 yards), and the use of bolt-action rifles. Essential gear like adjustable scopes, bipods, ballistic calculators (mentioning Hornady's 4DOF® app), and shooting bags are discussed. The video also provides tips for training at local ranges that may not be specifically set up for PRS. It is presented as beneficial for both newcomers and experienced shooters.
