This guide details how to test propellant temperature sensitivity, a crucial factor for consistent long-range accuracy. It emphasizes using a reliable chronograph and testing ammunition across a wide temperature range, from cold to hot conditions. The process involves calculating the muzzle velocity change per degree Fahrenheit to understand how temperature fluctuations affect performance, enabling shooters to account for these variations in their ballistic solutions.

This video explores why .357 Magnum might be the ideal single ammunition choice for SHTF scenarios, focusing on its logistical advantages and performance versatility. The presenter conducts chronograph testing with both revolvers and lever-action rifles, demonstrating the significant velocity and energy gains when scaling up from a handgun to a rifle platform. The analysis highlights the dual capability of .357 Magnum firearms to also chamber .38 Special, offering a quieter, subsonic option and expanding logistical availability.

This review compares the .270 Winchester to seven other rifle cartridges, evaluating their performance for hunting applications. The analysis includes ballistic data, recoil, and suitability for various game sizes. The 6.5 PRC, 7mm Rem Mag, and 280 AI are highlighted as strong alternatives, offering advantages in specific scenarios.

This entry analyzes the possibility of a 30-06 Springfield cartridge failing to produce an exit wound, a topic discussed with analytical skepticism. It delves into bullet weight, ballistic coefficients, and terminal performance, comparing the 30-06 to other calibers like 5.56 and .308. The analysis highlights the rarity of such an event with high-quality ammunition and calls for transparency in official reports.

This video discusses the potential role of body armor in the fatal injury of Charlie Kirk, analyzing ballistic phenomena and the physics of projectile impact. The instructor, with experience testing body armor, debunks the idea that armor manufacturers should be blamed, emphasizing that armor is a second chance, not a guarantee. The discussion also touches on the physics of a .30-06 round impacting the chest versus the neck, and the importance of emergency medical preparedness.

This video provides an expert comparison of three major big game rifle cartridge classes: short action (308 Winchester vs. 6.5 Creedmoor), long action (30-06 Springfield), and belted magnums (300 Winchester Magnum). The instructor highlights their performance, bullet selection, availability, and suitability for different hunting scenarios, emphasizing the 30-06 Springfield as a versatile all-around choice.

This video provides a comprehensive list of the top five rifle and top five pistol cartridges recommended for SHTF (Shit Hits The Fan) scenarios, based on availability, effectiveness, and logistical considerations. The instructor emphasizes choosing a focused selection of ammunition types rather than stocking all options. The recommendations cover a range of calibers suitable for various tactical and defensive applications.

This ballistics gel test compares the 7 PRC and 300 Win Mag at 200 yards. The 7 PRC demonstrated superior penetration, while the 300 Win Mag produced a wider wound channel due to greater bullet expansion. This highlights key differences in terminal performance between these two popular rifle cartridges.

This YouTube Shorts video features content related to Nosler ammunition, specifically highlighting "Nosler Whitetail Country." While the visual content is not described, the title and hashtags suggest a focus on hunting, specifically whitetail deer, and likely involves Nosler's hunting ammunition.

This video compares viewer-voted top deer cartridges against the host's personal list, revealing surprising choices and highlighting the strengths of each. It covers popular options like the 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor, alongside niche cartridges like the 350 Legend and the host's favorite, the 22 Creedmoor. Ballistic data and practical hunting applications are discussed for each.

This video reviews 25 'criminally underrated' shotguns, covering a wide range of types including semi-automatic, pump-action, over-under, and revolvers. It highlights specific models like the American Tactical Milsport 410, Laser Arms XR410, Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I, Remington Model 870, and various Taurus Judge variants, detailing their features, calibers, price points, and intended applications from home defense to hunting and competition. The presenter emphasizes unique aspects such as gas systems, recoil reduction, capacity, and material construction.

This video demonstrates an experimental test firing full rifle cartridges from a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun. The host, from Civilian Tactical, uses a setup including a vest and wooden backstop to assess penetration and lethality. While accuracy is poor, the test confirms extreme stopping power. The host exhibits high authority, utilizing professional gear and safe handling practices.
