This video details the process of reloading 300 Blackout ammunition for a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR). The instructor demonstrates brass preparation, powder charging with specific loads for both subsonic (Accurate No. 9 with 190gr Sub-X) and supersonic (Winchester 296 with 110gr V-Max) rounds, and bullet seating to precise overall lengths. It also covers initial range testing, chronographing velocities, and adjusting the SBR's gas system for reliable cycling, particularly with subsonic ammunition.

This video details the process and challenges of reloading .410 shotshells for a Smith & Wesson Governor. The reviewer highlights issues with hand crimping, leading to unburnt powder and potential chambering difficulties. Despite these challenges, the reloaded triple-aught buckshot and bird shot demonstrated acceptable performance at close range, with the buckshot patterning effectively within 7 yards.

This guide details a DIY approach to handloading 410 shotshells, focusing on cost savings and utilizing repurposed tools alongside specific MEC press components. The process involves trimming 3-inch shells to 2.5 inches, depriming, resizing with a dedicated die, and priming.
