This video details the process of reloading .223 Remington ammunition for a vintage Remington 700 BDL Varmint Special. The instructor, drawing on his grandfather's notes, tests three different powder loads (Reloader 15, Reloader 10x, and IMR 8208 XBR) with Hornady 53 grain HP match bullets. The video covers case preparation, powder charging, bullet seating to a specific overall length, and live-fire accuracy testing at 100 yards, providing valuable insights into load development for this rifle.

This video from Deuce and Guns details three primary dangers associated with surplus ammunition: squib loads, improperly reloaded ammunition, and ammunition that has been tumbled. It explains how a squib load can lead to a catastrophic firearm failure if a second round is fired, how incorrect powder in reloads can cause over-pressure, and how tumbling can alter powder burn rates, potentially creating dangerous pressure spikes. The instructor emphasizes caution when using older or improperly stored ammunition.

This video details accuracy tests comparing a Palmetto State Armory (PSA) 16-inch 5.56 upper with a stainless steel barrel against an AR Stoner 16-inch barrel. The testing involved four different bullet types (55gr Hornady FMJ, 55gr Midsouth Varmint Nightmare, 69gr Sierra Match King, 69gr Barnes Match Burner) and various powders, with groups measured at 100 yards. While neither barrel definitively outperformed the other across all loads, the PSA barrel showed slightly better performance with lighter bullets, and the AR Stoner with heavier bullets. The presenter concludes that both offer acceptable accuracy for their budget price point.

This guide details the process of reloading 7.62x54R ammunition for a Mosin Nagant rifle, focusing on using Reloader 15 powder. It covers essential steps like bore slugging to determine barrel diameter, proper case resizing techniques for bolt-action firearms, consistent powder charging, and bullet seating. The video emphasizes testing for accuracy and understanding the impact of barrel heat on point of impact.
