This video compares the performance of four Hodgdon powders (H335, CFE223, Varget, BL-C2) in a 16-inch barreled Tavor 7 chambered in .308 Winchester. The testing focuses on velocity loss compared to advertised 24-inch barrel data, using maximum charges with 150-grain FMJBT bullets. CFE223 yielded the highest velocity, while BL-C2 showed the least velocity loss, indicating good performance in short barrels.

This video discusses powder selection for the 6mm GT cartridge, highlighting its development as a modern, magazine-feeding evolution of cartridges like the 6BR and 6PPC. The primary recommendation for reloading the 6mm GT focuses on faster-burning propellants, with Varget and StaBALL Match identified as excellent starting points for load development, especially for PRS applications. The choice between powders can also be influenced by bullet weight, with heavier bullets potentially benefiting from powders like StaBALL 65.

This video explains how powder burn rate and barrel length significantly impact bullet velocity in reloading. Slower burning powders like Varget perform better in longer barrels (24 inches) by allowing more time for pressure to build, while faster burning powders like BLC-2 can yield better velocities in shorter barrels (16 inches) due to efficient pressure generation.

This guide explains why using .308 powders like Varget in the 6.5 Creedmoor can limit velocity due to case capacity. It highlights the benefits of using purpose-built powders such as Winchester StaBALL 6.5, demonstrating a significant velocity increase (300 fps) by utilizing the case volume more effectively. The information is presented to help reloaders achieve better performance from their 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges.

This video details the process of reloading .223 Remington ammunition using 75gr Hornady BTHP bullets with Varget N540 and Alliant Power Pro Varmint powders.

The analysis includes group sizes, velocities, and brass inspection for pressure signs, offering insights into powder and bullet combinations.

This guide details expert reloading techniques for powder measurement and scale calibration, emphasizing the longevity and precision of traditional tools like the RCBS Uniflow and Lyman/Ohaus 505 scale. It covers component selection, consistent operation, averaging vs. trickling methods, and the minimal ballistic impact of minor charge variations, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms instructor.

This video details advanced reloading techniques for the 6mm WOA cartridge, focusing on bullet seating consistency, powder selection for heavy bullets, and accuracy testing with various muzzle devices. The instructor, with clear expertise, demonstrates troubleshooting common reloading issues and provides insights into achieving optimal performance. The content is highly technical, suitable for intermediate to advanced reloaders seeking to refine their process for this specific cartridge.

This guide details the process of reloading .223 Remington cartridges using 50gr Hornady Z-Max/V-Max bullets, Varget, and Alliant Power Pro Varmint powders. It emphasizes accurate component preparation, precise OAL measurement, and careful load data analysis, drawing on the expertise of Johnny from Johnny's Reloading Bench. The video demonstrates meticulous testing procedures and analysis of results, highlighting the accuracy potential of these lighter varmint bullets in an AR-15 platform.

This guide, presented by an expert reloader and firearms educator, details the critical aspects of understanding reloading powders. It covers the historical context of powder manufacturing, the importance of reloading manuals, and how to interpret burning rate charts. The video visually compares different powder types (flake, ball, extruded) and discusses practical considerations for powder measurement and accuracy, suggesting that meticulous trickling may not always be necessary for achieving excellent results.
