223 Rem - 50gr Hornady Z-Max/V-Max with Varget & PP Varmint

This video tests the bullet-stopping capabilities of a decommissioned electrical transformer filled with vegetable oil. While smaller calibers like .22 LR and 9mm caused minor damage, larger handgun rounds like .45 ACP and .357 Magnum showed varying degrees of penetration. Rifle calibers (.223 and .30-06) easily penetrated the casing, and the .50 BMG round caused the transformer to explode, demonstrating its ineffectiveness against high-powered firearms.

This video details the reloading process for .223 Remington using 62gr Hornady BTHP bullets with H4895 and AR-Comp powders. It highlights the accuracy potential of the Hornady bullet, with AR-Comp achieving a 0.468-inch group at the starting load. The testing was conducted on a PSA AR-15 with an 18-inch barrel, showing varying velocities and pressure signs with different powders.

This video showcases a fun promotional challenge where the first person to bring a single round of ammunition to the host receives 100 rounds in return. The host, wearing an Armored Republic plate carrier, demonstrates the challenge at 'The Gun Shop' in Idaho Falls, Idaho. A customer successfully participates, receiving five boxes of rifle ammunition, likely 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington.

This video tests the bulletproof capabilities of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid, against various firearm calibers. While Oobleck successfully stopped .22 LR, .380 ACP, and .223 rounds, it was penetrated by .45 ACP and catastrophically failed against a .50 BMG. The experiment also demonstrated Oobleck's effectiveness against blunt force but its vulnerability to sustained pressure.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of Miracle-Gro gardening soil against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to 7.62x54R. Four bags of soil were used, with results showing that even powerful rifle rounds like the 7.62x54R were stopped within three bags. The test surprisingly indicated the .45 ACP had slightly more penetration than the Mosin Nagant in this specific setup.

This video demonstrates a successful method for removing a severely stuck case from an AR-10 barrel using a high-pressure grease gun and hydraulic oil. Despite a previous gunsmith's failure, the technique involving a custom adapter and specialized grease gun achieved extraction. Post-removal inspection and range testing confirmed the barrel's integrity and sub-MOA accuracy.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to reloading ammunition for the Thompson Center Compass chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum. It meticulously covers each stage of the reloading process, from an introduction and detailed discussion of components and equipment to the practical steps of brass resizing and preparation, load data analysis, setting overall length (OAL), priming, powder charging, and bullet seating. The video culminates in a range test to evaluate the reloaded ammunition, followed by a brass inspection and group review, and concludes with future plans. The content is highly educational for anyone looking to start reloading this specific caliber and rifle.

The Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 offers excellent value for its $400 price point, featuring First Focal Plane (FFP) capability and a usable EBR-2C reticle. While it shows some chromatic aberration and has slightly mushy turrets compared to higher-end models, its tracking accuracy is comparable to the more expensive Strike Eagle. It's a strong contender for budget-conscious long-range shooters, though FFP might be less ideal for hunting than SFP.

This video explores the experimental firing of .22 airgun pellets using .22 caliber nail gun blanks, achieving velocities over 2200 fps with Level 4 loads. Despite some pellet instability at 50 yards, accuracy remained surprisingly tight, demonstrating the potential for this unconventional projectile method. The host emphasizes proper muzzle-loading technique for rifling engagement and uses a chronograph for precise data collection.
