Videos tagged with Sierra Match King

This video explores the terminal ballistics of Open Tip Match (OTM) rounds, often referred to as Match Kings, particularly in hunting scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that despite the 'open tip,' these rounds are not designed for expansion like hollow points but rather for accuracy and consistency due to their high ballistic coefficient. The video stresses that effective use, especially on game, relies heavily on precise shot placement rather than relying on bullet expansion, drawing on personal hunting experiences in Africa.

This video compares the performance of gas-operated rifles against bolt-action rifles in a precision shooting competition at Mosley Fields. It details accuracy testing at 100 yards and various stages at longer distances, highlighting how gas guns can excel in speed and follow-up shots despite bolt actions sometimes producing tighter groups. The competition emphasizes practical shooting skills over pure equipment cost.

This video demonstrates how to integrate a Garmin GPS watch with the Applied Ballistics app for precise long-range shooting. It covers measuring muzzle velocity with a chronograph, syncing data to the watch, and using the watch to obtain accurate elevation and windage calls for first-shot hits at extended distances. The presenter highlights how this technology reduces guesswork and spotting needs.

This video showcases a BRN4 rifle built in an M38 configuration, akin to a Marine Corps Designated Marksman Rifle based on the HK 416. The build features an upgraded optic setup with a Badger Ordnance mount and Trijicon RMR piggyback, an MDT bipod, and a Dead Air Sierra 5 suppressor. The rifle is tested at a 500-yard range using Winchester Match 69-grain Sierra Match King ammunition, demonstrating its capability for extended range engagements.

This video provides an in-depth review of the Sig Sauer XM7 rifle chambered in 277 Fury, focusing on its performance and capabilities as the US military's next-generation weapon system. The presenter, an experienced shooter, evaluates the rifle's accuracy, recoil, and effectiveness at various ranges, comparing it to existing platforms and discussing its intended role as a battle rifle rather than a precision sniper system. The review highlights the 277 Fury cartridge's potential for armor penetration and its effectiveness in modern combat scenarios.

This video provides an overview of a BCM 14.5" AR-15 rifle, focusing on its performance in high-angle shooting scenarios. The presenter discusses the rifle's components, including the Raider rail, a 1-8x LPVO with a 12 o'clock red dot, and the choice of 69-grain Sierra Match King ammunition. Practical considerations like felt recoil, reticle limitations for windage, and the importance of barrel length for ballistic performance are also covered.

This guide details the process of reloading ammunition for the M1 Garand rifle, emphasizing the importance of specific components and parameters to ensure safe and accurate function. Key considerations include selecting appropriate primers, using a small base die for semi-automatic reliability, choosing powders with suitable burn rates (like H4895 or Varget), and selecting bullet weights and types (150-180 grain, flat base or boattail) that match the rifle's twist rate and barrel condition. The process concludes with chronograph testing for velocity verification before live fire.

This video details modifications made to a Carl Gustaf CG80 target rifle, originally a Swedish M1896 Mauser, for competition shooting. The rifle features a heavy German target barrel, a modified cocking piece for reduced lock time, improved adapter sights, and a free-floating stock. The presenter discusses accuracy challenges with 140-grain Sierra Match Kings and subsequent testing with Barnes Match Burners.

This video provides an in-depth look at the CMMG Mk3 DISSENT rifle chambered in 8.6 Blackout. The presenter highlights the Mk3 lower's compatibility with LR 308 magazines, supporting calibers like .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and the new 8.6 Blackout. Initial shooting impressions of the 8.6 Blackout, both unsuppressed and suppressed, are shared, emphasizing its significant energy and stopping power compared to 300 Blackout, and its suitability for suppressed use.

Daniel Horner details his SIG SAUER MCX rifle setup for competition, emphasizing the critical role of muzzle devices in maintaining accuracy. He shares insights on optic selection, including reticle size and mount height, and discusses ammunition choices for different shooting scenarios. The guide also covers the importance of rangefinding and wind calls using advanced optics.

This video reviews True Velocity's polymer-cased rifle ammunition, specifically in .308 Winchester. It highlights the advantages of polymer cases, including reduced weight and potential for tighter tolerances, making it attractive for military applications and hunters. Performance data for hunting and match loads is presented, along with pricing and availability.

This guide, presented by Shark Coast Tactical, demonstrates the sound and performance differences between 5.56 and 300 Blackout ammunition when suppressed. The expert instruction highlights the advantages of 300 Blackout for suppressed, close-quarters applications, recommending HSM brand ammunition. The video emphasizes the significant noise reduction achieved with subsonic 300 Blackout rounds.
