300 BLK Supersonic Hunting Load with 120gr Barnes TAC-TX

This video details the development of a supersonic .300 Blackout hunting load using the 110gr Barnes TAC-TX bullet. After testing Hodgdon Lil' Gun and Winchester 296 powders, Winchester 296 proved superior, achieving a 0.56" group at 2451 fps with excellent consistency. The selected load of 20.2 grains of Winchester 296 with CCI #41 primers and Lake City brass is recommended for hunting.

This video is a follow-up, focusing on developing a supersonic hunting load for a 300 Blackout pistol/SBR. The specific setup utilizes a 110gr Barnes TAC-TX bullet and Winchester 296 powder, tested in an 8.5-inch barrel. The video aims to provide practical information for hunters using this popular caliber in a compact firearm platform.

The maximum effective hunting range for a .300 Blackout is approximately 300 yards, though 100-200 yards is more practical for most shooters due to holdover. Ballistics data shows energy drops significantly, from 1079 ft-lb at 100 yards to 639 ft-lb at 300 yards. Barrel length and velocity are key factors influencing this range.

This video focuses on selecting a deer hunting load for the 2020 season, specifically utilizing the 6.5 Grendel cartridge with a 120gr Speer Gold Dot bullet. The creator explores AR-Comp as a primary powder choice and introduces VihtaVuori N540 as a last-minute alternative. The content is geared towards reloaders and hunters looking for optimal performance with this rifle and caliber combination.

This video details the process of developing a .357 Magnum hunting load for a Henry Big Boy Silver rifle, specifically for Ohio's updated deer season regulations. It covers component selection, load data testing with Hornady XTP bullets and Winchester 296/Alliant Power Pro 300-MP powders, and range results. The final selected load is 16.7 grains of Winchester 296 with a 158gr XTP, achieving consistent velocities around 1700 fps.

This video begins a search for an effective 2021 whitetail deer hunting load. The content focuses on testing two specific 70-grain rifle cartridges: the Hornady GMX and the Barnes TSX. The presenter is using Alliant Power Pro 2000-MR powder and starting their load development based on the Barnes ammunition's recommended seating depth testing procedure. The video implies a comparative analysis between these two premium hunting bullets for whitetail deer.

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.
