.308 Win - 110gr Hornady Z-Max with Reloder 7

This experiment tests how many pumpkins various firearms can penetrate. Handguns like the .45 ACP and .44 Magnum showed surprising stopping power, while high-velocity rifle rounds like the .223 and .308 fragmented or veered off course. The Desert Eagle chambered in .50 AE achieved the deepest penetration, stopping in the 13th pumpkin.

This experiment tests the ballistic resistance of a water heater filled with water against various calibers, from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .44 Magnum, .50 AE, .223 Rem, and .308 Win were effectively stopped by the water, the powerful .50 BMG round easily penetrated the tank and destroyed the target behind it. The video highlights the significant difference in stopping power between common handgun/rifle rounds and extreme high-caliber sniper rounds.

This video features a range test of powder-coated bullets using Alliant Reloder 7 powder in a 300 Blackout rifle. The description indicates a focus on evaluating the performance of this specific ammunition configuration. It's a practical demonstration for those interested in reloading or exploring different ammunition options for the 300 BLK caliber.

This video demonstrates a ballistic experiment testing the penetration capabilities of various firearm calibers against a stack of bricks. The host, an enthusiast content creator, shows how rounds from .22 LR up to .50 BMG interact with the brick barrier, providing a visual comparison of stopping power. The experiment highlights significant differences in penetration based on caliber and bullet type.

This video pits a Vietnam-era Colt SP1 M16 variant against stacked popcorn buckets, comparing its penetration to various calibers. The SP1, firing 5.56/.223, penetrated six buckets, while larger calibers like .308 and .50 BMG demonstrated significantly more power. The content also features a Colt 1911, SKS, and a GM6 Lynx, showcasing different firearm capabilities in a unique test.

This video tests the bullet resistance of an Easton Cyclone aluminum baseball bat against various calibers. While it withstands 12 gauge birdshot, .22 LR, and 9mm rounds with only dents or entrance holes, it is penetrated by a 5.56x45mm round. The test highlights the bat's surprising durability against smaller calibers but its limitations against rifle rounds.

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.
