Seriously Accurate Hunting & Competition Bullets | Guns & Gear S10

Brian Litz of Applied Ballistics discusses the development and testing of Berger's new 120gr 6mm LRHT bullet. The discussion highlights the importance of fast-twist barrels (1:7 twist) for stabilizing heavy-for-caliber bullets, the extensive barrel life testing conducted to understand BC degradation and cleaning requirements, and the historical context of Berger's involvement in high-performance 6mm projectiles. Litz emphasizes the pursuit of consistent ballistic coefficients over absolute highest BC for predictable long-range performance.

This video provides an in-depth review and testing of Hornady's new Aeromatch 105gr 6mm bullets. F-class competitor John from Ultimate Reloader details the bullet's aerodynamic design, availability in bulk packs (500 and 3000 count), and seamless integration into existing loads. He presents detailed measurements of length, weight, and diameter, highlighting their tight tolerances. The testing phase includes powder charge development with Varget, culminating in impressive group sizes, with one group measuring in the .13 MOA range. The review emphasizes the bullet's consistency and performance for competitive shooters seeking an edge.

This video provides an in-depth review and testing of the new Sierra 105gr MatchKing (SMK) target bullet. Host Gavin Gear from Ultimate Reloader, demonstrating significant expertise, tests the bullet across three different 6mm cartridges (6mm Creedmoor, 6mm ARC, and 6.5x47 Lapua) in custom rifles. The testing includes lab analysis of bullet consistency (weight, diameter, length) and long-range accuracy at 706 yards. The video highlights the importance of twist rate for stabilizing these heavier bullets and presents detailed load data and group results for each tested platform.

This video explores the NRL Hunter competition, highlighting the use of 6mm Creedmoor ammunition, specifically Hornady's ELD-M, for its flatter trajectory and reduced recoil. It discusses the nuances of match versus hunting ammunition performance, emphasizing bullet construction and the importance of understanding it for ethical hunting. The episode also touches on gear selection for competition and hunting, including optics, rifles like the Ruger American Gen 2 and Rossi R95, and the utility of ballistic calculators like Hornady's '4DOF' app.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the suitability of 7mm cartridges, specifically the 280 AI, for long-range shooting. While acknowledging its effectiveness as a hunting caliber, the discussion highlights recoil and the availability of high Ballistic Coefficient (BC) bullets as limiting factors for extreme distances. The conversation contrasts this with popular long-range cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor and emerging trends towards 6mm Creedmoor, emphasizing the importance of BC and case design for long-range performance.

This YouTube video showcases a 1800-foot shot using a 6mm Creedmoor rifle. The focus is on demonstrating long-range precision shooting capabilities with this specific caliber and rifle setup. While details on the specific rifle model are not provided in the description, the title clearly highlights the distance and caliber involved in the long-range engagement.

This video demonstrates a realistic home invasion self-defense scenario using force-on-force training with Simunition. Expert instruction from Chris Cerino highlights the importance of tactical techniques like the 'Shoulder Bump' for improved weapon handling and cover utilization. The training emphasizes stress inoculation and identifying areas for improvement to increase survivability.

This guide, based on instruction from Mike Seeklander, a professional trainer and competitive shooter, details tactical movement and cover techniques. It emphasizes proactive avoidance, proper use of cover, and minimizing exposure when engaging threats. The techniques are demonstrated using various firearms and accessories, highlighting practical application in self-defense scenarios.

This video demonstrates critical self-defense principles through simulated real-world scenarios, emphasizing the importance of situational awareness, cover, and verbal de-escalation. Instructor Chris Cerino, a high-authority figure, guides participants through mistakes made in high-stress situations and provides actionable training to improve performance. The content highlights the necessity of practical, stress-inoculated training beyond basic concealed carry.

This guide details the operation and shooting of the North American Arms (NAA) Ranger II mini revolver, focusing on its unique break-top design. Expert Ryan Gresham highlights the ease of loading/unloading and its historical appeal, while demonstrating effective shooting techniques for this compact firearm. The Ranger II is presented as a capable option for concealed carry and range enjoyment.
