This video explains the fundamental differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MIL) as units of angular measurement used in rifle scopes. It clarifies that MOA is 1/60th of a degree, equating to approximately 1 inch at 100 yards, while MIL is 1/6400th of a circle, equating to 10 cm at 100 meters. The instructor notes that most precision scopes use quarter MOA adjustments, allowing for fine-tuning.

This video explores the impact of red dot sight size (MOA) on handgun and rifle performance. While smaller dots (2-3 MOA) are often preferred for dry-fire precision, the speaker finds larger dots (5-6 MOA) can be easier to acquire and track during live fire due to their visibility at lower brightness settings. Performance differences are often psychological, with shooters tending to perform better with the dot size they prefer.

The DNT Hound is a compact thermal monocular that integrates a laser rangefinder and an onboard ballistic calculator. It offers impressive thermal performance with a 640 core and 35mm lens, capable of distinguishing details in various environments. The ballistic calculator provides accurate holdovers in MRAD or MOA, making it a valuable tool for hunters and long-range shooters, especially when paired with non-smart optics. While it excels in functionality, Mac users may encounter data transfer limitations.

This video explores the distinction between AR-15 SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) and GPR (General Purpose Rifle) concepts. It clarifies that SPRs were designed for enhanced accuracy over standard GPRs, often involving specialized uppers and ammunition. However, modern advancements mean that well-configured GPRs can now achieve SPR-level performance, emphasizing that the rifle's setup should align with the user's mission rather than strict definitions.

This guide outlines the accuracy testing procedure for the Heckler & Koch G3 SG1, as demonstrated by 9-Hole Reviews. It details the use of various ammunition types, optics, and measurement tools to assess the rifle's performance, highlighting its capabilities with specific loads and its inherent design characteristics. The expert-level assessment emphasizes the rifle's reliability and accuracy potential, particularly when paired with appropriate components.

Elliott Delp, an established firearms reviewer, presents an analytical and data-driven review of the American Defense Manufacturing (ADM) UIC AR-15 in 5.56 NATO. The review focuses on accuracy, utilizing Ballistic-X software for precise measurements. Delp compares the ADM UIC against other high-end AR-15s, highlighting its performance metrics.

Elliott Delp, demonstrating high expertise in firearm performance evaluation, tested the accuracy of several high-end AR-15 rifles. He utilized controlled variables and precision measurement software (Ballistic-X) to objectively compare rifle performance, highlighting the American Defense ADM UIC as the top performer and the LWRC IC as the least accurate in his test.

This comprehensive test evaluates nine different AR-15 barrels using ADI World Class 69gr Sierra MatchKing ammunition, a budget-friendly match option. The analysis, conducted by Preston Moore, utilizes advanced data collection methods including chronographs and shooter error sensors to measure group sizes, velocities, and consistency. The Seekins Precision 16" barrel emerged as the top performer, demonstrating the importance of barrel-ammo synergy even with budget-conscious choices.

Elliott Delp, an experienced firearms instructor, investigates whether more expensive AR-15s offer superior accuracy. His analysis, based on testing various models including the ADM UIC and PSA Blem, suggests that for the average shooter, the accuracy difference is minimal. However, high-end rifles may provide an edge for professional shooters utilizing match-grade ammunition and specialized equipment like a lead sled for stability.

This video features an expert-level accuracy test comparing budget and high-end AR-15 platforms. Instructor Elliott Delp analyzes whether a higher price point consistently correlates with superior accuracy, using MOA measurements to quantify performance. The findings suggest that factors beyond cost, such as ammunition and shooter skill, significantly influence group sizes.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of Hornady's 6mm ARC 80gr ELD-VT ammunition, tested on a Seekins DMR rifle. The instructor, a specialized precision rifle content creator, details the testing methodology, including chronograph readings, group size analysis using Ballistic-X, and long-range performance evaluation. The ammunition is deemed effective for coyote hunting within 400 yards, delivering consistent sub-MOA accuracy in a gas gun platform.

Elliott Delp, an established firearms reviewer, provides an objective comparison of high-end AR-15 rifles (over $2000) focusing on grouping performance. He highlights the American Defense Manufacturing (ADM) UIC as the top performer and the LWRC AR-15 as the worst, seeking community input on LWRC's typical accuracy.
