Is my Faxon barrel "whippy"? 6.5 Grendel

This video details load development for a 6.5 Grendel using BLC2 powder and 123gr Hornady ELD-M bullets. The presenter focuses on achieving tight five-shot groups from a Diamond Back barrel, aiming for sub-MOA accuracy. The testing reveals promising results with a specific charge weight, highlighting the importance of meticulous load tuning for precision shooting.

This video details the process of finding an accuracy node for 6.5 Grendel ammunition using H335 powder and 123gr ELD-M bullets from factory seconds. The instructor chronographs various powder charges fired from an 18-inch Bear Creek Arsenal barrel to identify a velocity node, then selects a charge weight for load development and accuracy testing. Initial results indicate the barrel may not be inherently accurate, prompting a discussion about potential future load development with different powders.

This video conducts a scientific ballistics and kinetic energy experiment comparing the 6mm ARC and 6.5 Grendel cartridges by shooting water jugs at distances from 300 to 600 yards. The 6mm ARC demonstrated superior energy transfer and a flatter trajectory, transferring more energy and expanding sooner than the 6.5 Grendel. The test highlights the 6mm ARC's potential advantages for mid-range and longer-range shooting applications.

This video details a 100-yard ballistics gel test of four different 6.5 Grendel loads fired from an 18-inch barrel. The test evaluates Speer Gold Dot 120gr, Hornady SST 123gr, Barnes GMX 120gr (all-copper), and Hornady ELD-M 123gr. The instructor provides insights into bullet expansion, penetration depth, and potential hunting applications for each load.

This video from Palmetto State Armory showcases the ballistic performance of various AAC ammunition calibers, including 5.56, 6.5 Grendel, 300 Blackout, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308, .45 ACP, and 9mm, when fired into ballistic gel blocks. The testing was conducted at 20 feet to observe penetration and expansion, with slow-motion footage providing detailed visual analysis of projectile performance. The ammunition features projectiles designed in collaboration with Hornady and Sierra, with handgun projectiles manufactured in-house by AAC.

This video presents a bracket-style tournament comparing various rifle calibers to determine which is 'king.' The hosts, John and Gary, discuss the pros and cons of each caliber, considering factors like availability, ballistics, recoil, and intended use. They engage in debates, consult chat polls, and ultimately decide which caliber advances in the double-elimination tournament, offering insights into the practical applications and performance of each round.

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. The video highlights the importance of proper tools and high pressure, showcasing a successful extraction that saved a valuable Krieger barrel.

Instruction from a firearms enthusiast and reloader on preparing and sizing 300 Winchester Magnum brass. The video details the challenges of reloading for this caliber, including the long throat of the Thompson Center Compass rifle and the importance of proper neck tension and shoulder bumping. It covers selecting collets, setting up sizing dies, using specialized tools for case maintenance, and determining optimal seating depths for accuracy.

This video provides an in-depth review and performance test of the Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 rifle scope, presented by Johnny, an experienced gear reviewer. The review covers technical specifications, a practical tracking test (box test) at 100 yards, and optical quality comparisons with other Vortex models. Johnny highlights the scope's First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle and its value proposition for its price point, while also noting limitations in optical clarity compared to higher-end models.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to reloading .22-250 Remington ammunition, focusing on a Remington Model 788 with a Douglas barrel. It details component selection (brass, bullets, primers, powders), case preparation, powder charging, bullet seating, and initial range testing. The instructor emphasizes accuracy and velocity, aiming to develop loads suitable for varmint and deer hunting, while also highlighting potential challenges with certain components and the firearm's specific characteristics.
