This video compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO (M855 Green Tip) and 7.62x39mm (Tula) ammunition using gel block testing. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and fragmentation, causing substantial damage to the test setup. The 7.62x39mm round, while also expanding, showed greater penetration, passing through the gel block and the table. The test highlights the different performance characteristics of these popular calibers in terms of tissue damage and penetration.

This video details an extreme accuracy challenge where participants shoot at distances up to 1000 yards. It highlights the performance of various precision rifles and cartridges, including 7 PRC, 6.5 PRC, and .308 Winchester. The competition emphasizes shooter skill in adjusting for wind and ballistics, with Nate ultimately winning the challenge and a belt buckle prize.

This video presents ballistics data for a 13.9-inch 6mm ARC rifle. The test fired 105-grain ammunition through a suppressor, achieving an average muzzle velocity of 2494.9 feet per second with a low standard deviation of 10.2. The data indicates excellent performance for factory ammunition out of this barrel length.

This guide details a methodical .22LR velocity test conducted by Buckeye Ballistics, comparing ammunition performance across three different Ruger barrel lengths (3.5", 10", and 18.5"). The test utilizes a Caldwell chronograph to gather empirical data on eight distinct .22LR loads, providing insights into how barrel length affects muzzle velocity and highlighting ammunition inconsistencies. The expert-level analysis emphasizes data collection and comparison for informed shooter decisions.

This video evaluates the new Barnes Harvest Collection ammunition, comparing its performance and price against premium offerings from Hornady and Nosler. The presenter tests two rifle platforms, a Bergara B14 Squared in 6.5 PRC and a Bergara Premier Competition in 6.5 Creedmoor, using a chronograph to record muzzle velocities and assessing accuracy through five-shot groups. The Barnes ammo demonstrates competitive accuracy, particularly in the 6.5 Creedmoor, at a significantly lower price point than its high-end counterparts, suggesting it could influence market pricing.
