This video breaks down the cost-effectiveness of handloading ammunition, differentiating between cartridges where significant savings are possible and those where the cost is marginal. The instructor emphasizes that reloading primarily saves money if you maintain your current shooting rate, rather than increasing it. For common calibers like 9mm and .223, the savings are minimal after accounting for equipment and component costs, especially when compared to bulk factory ammunition. However, for larger hunting calibers like 6.5 Grendel and obscure cartridges, reloading can offer substantial cost reductions, allowing for the purchase of higher-quality bullets or covering reloading equipment costs.

This YouTube video compares the performance of two 6.5 Grendel ammunition types, Hornady SST and Speer Gold Dot, both in 120-grain weight, on white-tail deer. The comparison focuses on the terminal ballistics and effectiveness of each load for hunting applications.

This video features three Brownells Gun Techs – Caleb, Keith, and Steve – discussing their favorite firearm cartridges and handloads. Caleb highlights the 9mm Luger with Federal Hydra-Shok and the 6.5 Grendel for AR-15 platforms.
