This Gun Talk Radio episode features John Barsness discussing the effectiveness of heavier bullets in hunting scenarios. He debates with Tom Gresham about whether bullet mass or velocity is more crucial for successful game harvesting. The discussion delves into ballistic principles relevant to hunters and firearm enthusiasts. The video promotes Gun Talk Radio's broadcast schedule and various platforms for accessing their content, including podcasts and streaming services.

This video introduces Browning's new MaxPoint ammunition for 2023. Designed for mid-sized big game, these bullets are engineered to transfer expansion energy effectively, maximizing lethality. The description specifically mentions pronghorns and mule deer as target animals, highlighting the intended application for hunters seeking reliable performance on medium-sized game. The focus is on the bullet's terminal ballistics and its suitability for specific hunting scenarios.

This video debunks the myth that all hollow-point bullets are designed to expand. Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb explain that while handgun hollow-points and many hunting rifle hollow-points (like Sierra GameKing) are designed for expansion to increase terminal ballistics, match-grade target hollow-points utilize the cavity for a centered air bubble to improve the ballistic coefficient by reducing air resistance. They also note that hollow-point construction can be easier to manufacture uniformly than solid points, which are more susceptible to damage during handling. The video clearly illustrates that the function of a hollow-point varies based on its intended application.

This video delves into the development of Hornady's ELD (Extremely Low Drag) line of bullets. It highlights how Hornady utilized Doppler radar technology to optimize bullet design for both competition (ELD-M) and hunting (ELD-X) applications. A key innovation discussed is the Heat Shield tip, which prevents in-flight expansion and reduces drag. The ELD-X is designed for reliable expansion at low velocities for hunting, while the ELD-M is a match-grade bullet engineered for consistent accuracy with a thin jacket.

This episode of Guns & Gear Season 10 focuses on Barnes Bullets' Match Burner lead core jacketed bullets, highlighting their accuracy, competitive pricing, and suitability for both hunting and competition shooting. The video provides an overview of these target-ready bullets and directs viewers to a purchasing link. It also mentions that Guns & Gear airs on the Sportsman Channel and WildTV, and that more content is available on various digital platforms and the Guntalk website, showcasing new firearms products through interviews, demonstrations, tips, and training.

This video explains that while boat tail bullets often boast higher ballistic coefficients (BC) for marketing, flat base bullets are frequently more accurate for hunting and target shooting up to 300 yards due to better muzzle exit consistency. The speaker details the history of ballistics, the development of BC standards like G1 and G7, and argues that for most practical applications, the perceived advantages of boat tails are minimal compared to their sensitivity to bore imperfections. Flat base bullets are recommended for their superior accuracy and core retention in typical hunting scenarios.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test of four 6.5 Creedmoor loads: 143gr ELD-X, 140gr SST, 130gr Game King, and 129gr AccuBond LR, fired from 200 yards. The ELD-X and SST demonstrated excellent mushrooming and weight retention, while the Sierra Game King fragmented significantly. The Nosler AccuBond LR showed the most dramatic expansion and consistent core-jacket bonding.

This segment of Guns & Gear TV Season 6 features an interview with Zach Waterman from Nosler. The discussion focuses on Nosler's E-Tip lead-free bullets, highlighting their "unlimited impact velocity." The video indicates that these bullets are available as standalone projectiles and in loaded ammunition. Viewers are directed to Nosler's website for more information. The description also provides details about the Guns & Gear TV show's broadcast schedule and website.

This segment from Guns & Gear Season 4 focuses on Barnes Bullets' TSX and TTSX (Triple Shock X) bullets and their VOR-TX ammunition. The video highlights that these bullets are all-copper and available in both tipped and non-tipped versions, as well as component bullets and loaded ammunition. The description also provides extensive details about the Guns & Gear show's broadcast schedule across various networks, including NBC Sports Network, Pursuit Channel, and WILD TV, encouraging viewers to check local listings for more information.
