This video demonstrates a surprising test of the acoustic output of a .50 BMG primer alone, without gunpowder or a projectile. The host, exhibiting high authority and an educational tone, uses a Raptor 50 rifle on an outdoor range. The experiment reveals that a .50 BMG primer, when fired, produces a significantly loud, high-pitched snap, exceeding the noise of common handgun and rifle calibers, underscoring the critical importance of hearing protection.

This video provides a detailed guide to reloading 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition using VihtaVuori N555 powder and 130gr Berger AR Hybrid OTM Tactical bullets. It covers selecting Wilson bushing dies, setting up the dies for an AR-10 platform, and the process of seating bullets with an arbor press. The instructor also presents load development data, including velocity measurements with two different primer types (CCI BR4 and Remington 7 1/2) and discusses factors like neck tension and overall length.

This video investigates hang fire issues experienced with VihtaVuori N550 powder in 6.5 Creedmoor. The content focuses on testing 8 different small rifle primers and 2 large rifle primers to identify which combinations contribute to or mitigate the problem. The goal is to diagnose and potentially resolve the unreliable ignition. The description also notes an update regarding the removal of links to comply with YouTube policies.

This video provides a comprehensive primer test for Hodgdon CFE BLK powder in 300 Blackout. The instructor, with significant reloading and ballistics testing experience, evaluates six different primers across subsonic and supersonic loads using both 8.5-inch and 16-inch barrels. The analysis includes detailed velocity, standard deviation, and group size data, offering insights into primer performance with this specific powder.
