This video details the process of forming 6mm ARC brass from 6.5 Grendel brass, highlighting a peculiar 'belted' ring formation at the case head, potentially linked to over-pressure and the use of small base sizing dies. The instructor experiments with different dies and brass types, firing reloaded cartridges to observe and analyze these pressure signs, ultimately suggesting that avoiding high pressure is key to preventing this issue.

This video details a marksmanship test comparing different shooting support setups for an AR-10. The instructor evaluates standard front and rear bags against an Atlas bipod and PRM monopod combination for both benchrest and prone shooting. The goal is to assess the impact of these supports on group size and shooter stability, highlighting the importance of consistent setup and fine adjustments for optimal accuracy.

This video reviews Peterson's new 300 Winchester Magnum 'Long' brass, highlighting its potential to improve case life due to a longer base-to-shoulder measurement. The presenter compares it to standard Hornady and Jag brass, noting the Peterson Long brass is closer to the fired dimensions of his rifles' chambers. This suggests less stretching and fewer reloads before potential case head separation, though it comes at a higher price point.

This video details the initial stages of developing a 6.5 Grendel load for deer hunting, focusing on the 120-grain Speer Gold Dot bullet. The instructor tests various powders including AR-COMP, Power Pro Varmint, and H4895, meticulously recording group sizes and velocities. The goal is to achieve sufficient velocity for reliable bullet expansion while maintaining accuracy, with a particular emphasis on using new Lapua brass and monitoring for pressure signs.

This review tests the repeatability of the Bobro low-profile 34mm scope mount. The presenter, Marcus Hom, simulates removing and remounting the scope multiple times to assess its ability to return to zero. The test utilizes high-quality components including a Lothar Walther barrel, Nucleus action, and Berger 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition.

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 video provides a detailed, step-by-step guide to reloading ammunition for a 6 PPC benchrest rifle, presented by an individual with limited prior experience but access to extensive notes from a seasoned reloader.
