This video reviews five new .22 LR ammunition loads announced for 2025, focusing on their performance characteristics and intended applications. Sully from Line 45 details the CCI Suppressor Max for quiet suppressed shooting, Federal Premium Hammerdown for reliable lever-action performance, Winchester 21 Sharps for advanced cartridge design, Remington Ranch Hand for general rural use, and Remington Standard V22 for reliable plinking. The review highlights cycling reliability, accuracy, terminal performance, and value for each load.

The IWI Carmel is reviewed, with a focus on its accuracy potential and use case. While functioning flawlessly and being comfortable to shoot, its accuracy with M193 ammunition at 50 yards yielded approximately 2-inch groups, which was considered disappointing. The rifle is not seen as a replacement for an AR-15 but could appeal to those seeking a unique platform, especially if found on sale.

Improving rifle accuracy significantly depends on ammunition selection. The speaker emphasizes testing various ammo types, weights, and brands to understand what specific rifles perform best with. High-quality ammo can improve accuracy, but it's crucial to test as some rifles may not favor certain premium loads.

This video explores the "Super Colibri" .22LR ammunition, which is designed to be significantly quieter than standard rounds. The presenter demonstrates its reduced noise signature, suggesting it may eliminate the need for hearing protection or suppressors in certain situations. The ammunition's low velocity (590 feet per second) is highlighted as the reason for its quiet operation.

This video compares the performance of "cheap" PMC Bronze 308 ammunition against more expensive Federal Gold Medal Sierra Match King 308 ammunition at 100 yards. The presenter suggests that while expensive ammo may be worth it for precision shooting, cheaper bulk options suffice for plinking or function checks.

This video reviews Aguila .22 Long Rifle 40-grain copper-plated ammunition. The presenter highlights its suitability for training and plinking, noting its brass casing and an advertised velocity of 1255 feet per second. The ammunition is manufactured in Texas and is presented as a cost-effective option for high-volume shooting in both pistols and rifles, with the copper plating intended to improve accuracy and reduce barrel fouling.

This video reviews Troy 12 Gauge slugs, testing their accuracy through a Mossberg 500 smoothbore shotgun. The reviewer found the Troy slugs, loaded with Brenneke-style slugs, to be inconsistent, producing approximately 6-inch groups at 50 yards. In comparison, Winchester Foster slugs performed significantly better, indicating the Troy slugs are best suited for plinking or deer hunting at very close ranges (under 50 yards).

This video provides a comprehensive range test of the Colt Walther 1911 Rail Gun in .22 LR caliber. The reviewer tests 13 different types of .22 LR ammunition, focusing on velocity and accuracy. The analysis highlights the performance of specific loads like CCI Mini-Mags and CCI Blazers, offering insights into their suitability for plinking and hunting.

This video explains the rationale behind a 36-yard zero for AR-15 type rifles, demonstrating its effectiveness for achieving combat accuracy out to approximately 300 yards with standard 5.56mm ammunition. The instructor highlights that this zero method simplifies aiming by keeping the bullet's trajectory within a manageable range of the line of sight, allowing for center-of-mass holds at various distances. The demonstration uses a CMMG Mk V rifle with a HoloSun optic and PMC Bronze 55-grain plinking ammunition.

This video provides an unboxing of 2000 rounds of CCI Blazer .22 Long Rifle ammunition, presented by Civilian Tactical.
