RCBS Chargemaster Powder Dispenser/Scale Combo

This video advocates for the enduring precision of vintage reloading equipment, specifically the RCBS Uniflow powder measure and Lyman/Ohaus 505 balance beam scale, over modern digital alternatives. It details the superior physics-based accuracy of balance beam scales and provides practical advice on powder measure operation, maintenance, and charge consistency techniques like averaging and trickling. The content also quantifies the minimal ballistic impact of small charge weight variations, suggesting a pragmatic approach to reloading accuracy.

This video features Derek Love and Ryan Cheney conducting a powder drop test, comparing the accuracy of several powder dispensers: the Prometheus, Auto Trickler, Chargemaster, Hornady Lock & Load, and Harrells. The central question is whether the accuracy of a high-end dispenser like the Prometheus justifies its cost compared to more budget-friendly options like the Chargemaster. The test aims to determine if a significant accuracy difference exists and if it truly matters for reloading.

This video reviews the Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Digital Reloading Scale. The description highlights its extreme accuracy for measuring powder, bullets, cases, and loaded rounds. Key features include a 750-grain (50-gram) capacity with 0.1-grain (0.01-gram) accuracy, an LCD display with blue backlight, an integrated protective cover, auto-calibration, and multiple measurement units (grain, grams, ounces, carats). The package includes a powder pan and calibration weight. It is positioned as a precise tool for handloaders.

This video from Brownells, featuring Caleb and Steve, provides a comprehensive guide to powder dispensing for firearm reloading. It covers essential setup steps like flaring straight-wall cases and introduces various dispensing tools, from manual scoops and balance beams to electronic dispensers. The content aims to help both beginners and experienced reloaders achieve accurate and consistent powder measurements for their ammunition, with specific demonstrations for 9mm cases and tips for precision loads. The video concludes with advice on selecting the appropriate dispensing tool for individual reloading needs.

This video addresses a potential issue with an AI-AT rifle experiencing a significant zero shift after cleaning, prompting concern from the creator. The video also aims to gather drop data and mentions an upcoming class by Frank Galli. The creator is seeking community input to diagnose the rifle's problem. Various shooting-related gear and resources are linked in the description, indicating a focus on precision shooting and long-range applications.

This video details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15. Key steps include using a Geissele Reaction Rod for upper receiver stability, proper torquing of the proprietary barrel nut, and secure installation of the gas block and tube. The rail is then slid on and secured with two cross-bolts using a T-handle hex wrench. Final steps involve muzzle device installation and a thorough inspection.

Proper ammunition storage is crucial for maintaining reliability and safety. Avoid storing ammo in cardboard boxes in damp environments, as this leads to moisture absorption and corrosion. Utilize airtight containers like ammo cans and control humidity with desiccants like silica gel packs. Heat accelerates gunpowder and primer degradation, so store ammo at stable room temperatures. Reloading primers are particularly vulnerable to moisture and require strict airtight storage.

This video demonstrates how to upgrade an AR-15's A2 furniture to Magpul components. It details the removal of the A2 grip using a Bondhus hex set and the installation of a Magpul MIAD grip with interchangeable backstraps for improved ergonomics. The process also covers preparing and installing the Magpul PRS stock, highlighting its adjustable features for cheek weld and length of pull.

This video explores the custom Remington 11-87 shotgun used as a prop in 'No Country for Old Men.' The film required a semi-automatic shotgun with a suppressor, a combination not readily available at the time. Prop master Larry Zanoff details how a non-functional, 'homemade' looking suppressor was custom-built for the 11-87, with the iconic silenced sound effect achieved entirely in post-production.
