This video details the process of reloading .223 Remington ammunition for a vintage Remington 700 BDL Varmint Special. The instructor, drawing on his grandfather's notes, tests three different powder loads (Reloader 15, Reloader 10x, and IMR 8208 XBR) with Hornady 53 grain HP match bullets. The video covers case preparation, powder charging, bullet seating to a specific overall length, and live-fire accuracy testing at 100 yards, providing valuable insights into load development for this rifle.

This video showcases a firearms enthusiast from Yee Yee Life testing the impact and sound of various calibers and firearms on a 24-inch Wuhan gong. The host demonstrates the effects of a 12-gauge shotgun (birdshot and slug), a .44 Magnum Ruger Super Redhawk, an AR-15, and a .50 caliber sniper rifle, highlighting the distinct sonic and kinetic results of each. The demonstration emphasizes safe firearm handling and practical shooting experience.

This experiment tests the water resistance of various live ammunition types submerged for up to a month. While many rounds remained functional, performance degraded over time, with 9mm target loads failing first, followed by 12 Gauge shells and eventually .22 LR. Speer G2 9mm with sealed primers and some .223 Remington variants showed superior durability.

It's a demonstration of long-range accuracy with readily available equipment.

Instruction from Karl Kasarda of InRangeTV, a high-authority speaker, details the .223 Wylde chamber. This chambering is presented as a specialized option for precision match shooters, particularly those using 80-grain bullets at 600 yards. While it offers enhanced safety for 5.56 NATO rounds and improved accuracy for heavy bullets, Kasarda suggests its benefits are largely marketing hype for the average user.

This guide details a successful method for removing a stuck cartridge case from a firearm barrel using hydraulic pressure generated by a high-pressure grease gun. The technique, demonstrated by Johnny's Reloading Bench, involves a custom adapter and motor oil to hydraulically force the case out.
