This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This video reviews the top 10 most accurate hunting rifles of 2026, focusing on their out-of-the-box performance, barrel quality, action design, and trigger consistency. The rifles are chosen for hunters demanding sub-MOA performance in real-world hunting environments, highlighting advancements in materials and manufacturing that push precision to new limits.

This video explores the terminal ballistics of Open Tip Match (OTM) rounds, often referred to as Match Kings, particularly in hunting scenarios. The instructor emphasizes that despite the 'open tip,' these rounds are not designed for expansion like hollow points but rather for accuracy and consistency due to their high ballistic coefficient. The video stresses that effective use, especially on game, relies heavily on precise shot placement rather than relying on bullet expansion, drawing on personal hunting experiences in Africa.

This episode delves into optimizing straight-wall cartridges, specifically the .450 Bushmaster, for extended-range hunting. Experts from Gunwerks discuss the ballistic advantages of heavier, high-BC bullets and conical shapes, paired with precision rifle systems and advanced optics like first focal plane scopes. The discussion emphasizes the critical role of smart ballistic calculators and accurate wind calls for achieving success beyond 500 yards in regulated hunting areas.

This video provides an expert-level ranking of precise hunting calibers for 2026, drawing on data from match shooters and long-range hunters. It details the performance characteristics, historical context, and practical applications of calibers like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .308 Winchester, .280 Ackley Improved, 7mm Remington Magnum, and .243 Winchester. The analysis emphasizes factors contributing to accuracy, such as bullet design, case efficiency, and ballistic coefficients, offering valuable insights for hunters and precision shooters seeking optimal performance.

This episode of Gun Talk Hunt features Tom Gresham and KJ discussing various hunting and firearms topics. They delve into the nuances of the .338 Federal cartridge, the advantages of lightweight rifles like those from Ultra Light Arms, and the effectiveness of cartridges like the .284 Winchester and .270 Winchester. The conversation also touches on shot placement, trigger control, the importance of confidence in hunting, and the evolution of rifle cartridges, comparing older designs with modern offerings like the 6.5 Creedmoor. The hosts emphasize practical application and ethical hunting practices, highlighting that while advanced technology offers marginal gains, fundamental shooting skills remain paramount.

This guide details the advanced technique for executing a long-range elk hunt, as demonstrated by a 12-year-old hunter under expert supervision. It emphasizes precise range estimation, scope adjustment using ballistic turrets, and marksmanship fundamentals for a successful shot at extreme distances (1376 yards). The process highlights the importance of preparation, practice, and specialized equipment for challenging hunting scenarios.

This expert guide from Gunwerks demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet trajectory. Jeremy Winters, a Gunwerks Product Specialist, explains how Earth's rotation can shift Point of Impact (POI) by over 1 MOA at 1000 yards when shooting East or West. The video provides a live-fire demonstration and recommends shooting North or South to collect accurate ballistic data, minimizing Coriolis-induced errors.

This guide details the process of transforming a factory Remington Model 700 Sendero into a more capable long-range rifle, as demonstrated by Mike Davidson from Gunwerks. Key steps include a trigger upgrade to a 2-pound pull and a precision bedding job using Devcon Aluminum Putty to ensure action stability. The process emphasizes proper disassembly, careful application of bedding materials, and correct reassembly with specific torque values for action screws.

This video demonstrates a professional long-range coyote hunt in Montana, showcasing the effective use of a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler, a representative for Gunwerks, highlights the 'range, dial, and kill' method for successful predator engagement at various distances, from close encounters to over 500 yards. The guide emphasizes proficiency with long-range optics and equipment for accurate shots in challenging terrain.
