Videos tagged with Low Recoil Ammunition

This video demonstrates the use of RAM cartridges for training new shotgun shooters, particularly those apprehensive about recoil. These cartridges simulate the operation of a 12-gauge shotgun but utilize a .22 caliber blank for significantly reduced recoil, making them ideal for familiarization and building confidence.

This video demonstrates the use of RamShells, a specialized 12-gauge ammunition designed for training new shooters. These shells utilize a .22 nail gun blank and a blue polymer ball, significantly reducing recoil and noise compared to standard 12-gauge rounds. The instructor highlights their effectiveness in teaching individuals who are apprehensive about recoil, while still providing a realistic cycling experience for the shotgun.

This video demonstrates a cost-effective method for creating homemade 7/8 oz shotgun slugs from common lead birdshot. The process involves preparing spent shells, melting and casting lead into projectiles, and then assembling them into new cartridges. The presenter highlights significant cost savings and reduced recoil compared to commercially available slugs, while also testing their accuracy and terminal performance.

This video demonstrates the feasibility of hip firing a shotgun, specifically a Daisie Arms 12 gauge with a short barrel and arm brace. While it's possible to hit a target area without traditional aiming, the accuracy is significantly reduced, making it unsuitable for precise shots. The presenter notes that low recoil ammunition aids in managing the firearm from this unconventional position.

This guide details the setup and performance of the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol for home defense, as presented by the Hunt Fish Shoot host. It covers the shotgun's gas-operated action, ergonomics, accessory mounting, optics, and reliability with various ammunition types. The host, demonstrating high authority and practical expertise, emphasizes its value and effectiveness compared to other tactical shotguns.

This video explores the top 10 lesser-known facts about the .22LR cartridge. It covers its invention by Joshua Stevens in 1864, its evolution from the Flobert .22 BB Cap, its surprising lethality despite low recoil, and its use by intelligence agencies and in competitive shooting. The video also touches on historical firearms designs and modern conversion kits.

Boyd Mets of HSM Ammunition discusses the current ammunition market challenges and emphasizes the importance of proper preparation for hunting. He highlights the need for practice, including various shooting positions and understanding the dynamics of live targets versus static targets, to ensure humane kills and a better hunting experience. Mets also introduces HSM's product lines, focusing on their low-recoil options for new shooters and the effectiveness of their Trophy Gold and Bear Load ammunition.

Jeff Gonzalez, President of Trident Concepts, discusses shotgun ammunition for self-defense. He advises consulting the owner's manual for compatible shell lengths (2.75", 3", 3.5"). While birdshot is common for sports and hunting, it's generally not recommended for self-defense due to insufficient energy transfer. Buckshot, particularly Double Load Buck (8-9 larger pellets), is highlighted as the most popular self-defense round. Rifled slugs are for extended ranges, and specialty rounds like rubber shot, flechettes, and flashbangs are also mentioned. Low recoil ammunition is recommended to improve practice experience and mitigate the shotgun's heavy recoil.

This episode of the Guns Magazine Podcast features Boyd Metz of HSM Ammunition discussing the pervasive impact of recoil on shooters. Metz emphasizes that recoil is a significant, often unacknowledged, factor affecting accuracy and shooter enjoyment. He highlights HSM's low recoil ammunition as a solution that reduces felt recoil without compromising bullet weight or performance, making shooting more pleasant and accessible, especially for new or recoil-sensitive individuals. The discussion also touches on proper firearm selection and the psychological effects of recoil, such as flinching and loss of trigger control.

This video introduces HSM Low Recoil Ammunition, highlighting its benefit of reducing felt recoil by up to 53%. The presenter, who identifies as a 'delicate little flower,' emphasizes how this reduction allows shooters to focus more on their technique rather than managing recoil. The ammunition is available in calibers like 6.5 Creedmoor and .243 Winchester, making it suitable for new shooters, youth, and those sensitive to recoil, without significantly compromising accuracy for hunting purposes.

This segment from Gun Talk LIVE at SHOT Show 2020 features Boyd Metz of HSM Ammunition discussing their new low-recoil 6.5 Creedmoor load. The load aims to reduce felt recoil by 47% while maintaining accuracy and effectiveness for hunting at ranges up to 250 yards. Metz highlights the importance of accuracy and how HSM, in partnership with Sierra, develops specialized bullets for optimal performance.

HSM Ammunition has expanded its low-recoil line with a new 6.5 Creedmoor variant designed to reduce felt recoil by 47%. This ammunition features a 140-grain Sierra bullet with an orange polymer tip, temperature-tolerant powders, and offers consistent performance for hunters and recoil-sensitive shooters. It boasts a muzzle velocity of 2340 FPS, muzzle energy of 1695 ft-lbs, and a ballistic coefficient of 0.546, providing peak performance out to 250 yards.
