This guide details the process of reloading .300 Winchester Magnum cartridges, demonstrated by Red from Brownells. It covers essential steps from de-priming and sizing to powder charging and bullet seating, emphasizing precision and proper technique. The instruction highlights the use of specific tools and components for consistent results, recommending batch reloading for efficiency.

This video debunks the myth that all hollow-point bullets are designed to expand. Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb explain that while handgun hollow-points and many hunting rifle hollow-points (like Sierra GameKing) are designed for expansion to increase terminal ballistics, match-grade target hollow-points utilize the cavity for a centered air bubble to improve the ballistic coefficient by reducing air resistance. They also note that hollow-point construction can be easier to manufacture uniformly than solid points, which are more susceptible to damage during handling. The video clearly illustrates that the function of a hollow-point varies based on its intended application.

This video details ballistic gel testing of the 135gr Berger Classic Hunter bullet in 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 Grendel. While the 6.5 Creedmoor showed promising initial expansion, both calibers exhibited inconsistent performance, with the Grendel failing to achieve desired expansion and the Creedmoor showing fragmentation. The presenter concludes the bullet is not ideal for tougher game.

This range test evaluates the ATI Mosin Sporter rifle after accurizing modifications. The rifle demonstrated impressive accuracy, achieving a 3/4-inch 5-shot group at 100 yards with handloads. It also proved capable of hitting steel targets at extended ranges, exceeding typical expectations for a sporterized surplus rifle. The review highlights the effectiveness of proper stock bedding and free-floating the barrel for enhanced hunting accuracy.
