Alpha Munitions Case Lube

This guide details the use of the Lee Precision Deluxe Carbide Micrometer 4-Die Set for precise bullet seating. The micrometer feature allows reloaders to record and quickly return to specific seating depths, enhancing consistency and efficiency. The set is presented as a valuable tool for achieving repeatable results in handloading, especially when switching between different bullet types.

This video debunks the myth of carving an 'X' into cast bullets for expansion. The speaker, identified as a hobbyist, explains that this practice is ineffective for increasing bullet expansion and could potentially weaken the bullet. The primary perceived benefit is humorously linked to vampire hunting, not practical ballistics.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to handloading 8.6 Blackout ammunition, presented by Steve and Caleb from Brownells. They meticulously detail the entire reloading process, from initial component overview (Hornady 300 grain A-Tip bullets, Alpha Munitions brass, CCI primers, Hodgdon powder) to final crimping and magazine fit checks. The demonstration covers essential tools like Hornady reloading dies, Area 419 trays, a Frankfurt Arsenal priming tool, and an RCBS Chargemaster powder dispenser. The video highlights the quality of the components and the techniques required for safe and accurate reloading, specifically for AR308 platforms.

This video demonstrates a DIY method for creating hollow point projectiles by drilling into FMJ bullets. The experiment, conducted at Clay Lake, compares the impact of a standard FMJ against a modified hollow point in a clay target. The results show a significantly larger impact crater from the drilled hollow point, suggesting increased expansion. The speaker, wearing Leupold sunglasses, indicates a potential for accuracy testing next.

This guide details a DIY method for creating hollow point bullets from FMJ projectiles using a common power drill. The video demonstrates the process and compares the terminal ballistics of a modified FMJ against a standard FMJ in a mud lake test. The results showed a significantly larger cavity from the DIY hollow point, surprising the presenter. The video suggests further accuracy testing. Instruction is provided by an experienced individual with clear expertise in ammunition types and reloading.

This video provides insights from an experienced firearms enthusiast on reloading 10mm defensive ammunition and navigating the complexities of YouTube channel management. The speaker details frustrations with YouTube's monetization policies and content strikes, offering practical advice on dealing with demonetized videos and considering alternative platforms. The content also touches on future video plans, including outdoor gel tests and ballistic chicken videos, and emphasizes the importance of safety during reloading processes.

This guide details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15 platform. It covers securing the upper receiver, installing the barrel nut, gas system, and the rail itself, emphasizing the use of specialized tools and proper torque specifications.

This guide, based on expert instruction from Brownells, details essential practices for proper ammunition storage. It emphasizes using airtight containers, managing humidity with desiccants, and maintaining stable temperatures to ensure ammunition reliability and safety. Proper storage is crucial for preventing corrosion and propellant degradation, especially for sensitive components like primers.

This guide details the process of upgrading an AR-15 from standard A2 furniture to Magpul components. It covers the removal of the A2 pistol grip and installation of the Magpul MIAD Grip and Magpul PRS Stock. The video demonstrates efficient assembly using specialized tools, highlighting the ergonomic benefits and adjustability of the Magpul parts. Instruction is provided by Brownells, a recognized industry authority.

This entry details the creation of a movie prop suppressor for a Remington 11-87 used in 'No Country for Old Men.' Prop master Larry Zanoff explains how the suppressor was designed to look homemade and was non-functional, with sound effects added in post-production. The process highlights the creative problem-solving involved in film armory.
