Shotgun Match 12/17/2014

This video title indicates an attempt to break a world record in clay pigeon shooting, specifically by hitting 12 consecutive targets. The title itself strongly suggests a focus on shotgun sports and competitive shooting. While no specific firearm models or calibers are mentioned, the activity implies the use of shotguns and likely common shotgun ammunition.

This video documents the creator's pursuit of perfection in skeet shooting, aiming for a "25 straight" at the World Skeet Championship. After a year of dedicated practice, the creator reflects on their journey and the pressure of performing in a critical round. The video highlights the mental and practical aspects of competitive clay shooting, with the ultimate goal of achieving a flawless performance.

This video demonstrates a competitive shooting stage focusing on shotgun handling. It highlights the process of engaging targets with birdshot, clearing a common bolt malfunction under pressure, and transitioning to loading and firing slugs to complete the stage. The content is presented by an experienced shooter from Tactical Fellowship, offering practical insights into competitive shotgun use.

This video showcases a competitive shooting scenario where the participant, from Louisiana Firearms, demonstrates a rapid engagement sequence. The run involves a magazine-fed AR-style shotgun followed by a fluid transition to a handgun, both equipped with red dot optics. Despite a self-deprecating introduction, the shooter achieved a respectable time of 10.17 seconds with one miss, expressing pleasant surprise at their performance.

This video tests ceramic BB shotgun shells, comparing their performance to traditional lead BBs. The shells exhibited light recoil but required manual cycling in a semi-auto shotgun. Testing revealed a fast spread pattern and penetration approximately one inch less than lead BBs in ballistics gel.

The Grendel P10, an early pistol with a fixed 10-round internal magazine, is demonstrated using stripper clips for loading. While functional, loading under stress is challenging. The video showcases its use in a BUG match, with performance meeting expectations despite the loading difficulties. Different stripper clips showed varied performance.

This extensive 15,000-round test reveals the surprising longevity of a Criterion CORE series AR-15 barrel. Despite significant internal wear, including fire cracking and erosion, the barrel maintained respectable accuracy, particularly with 77gr handloads. The test highlights how barrel degradation impacts ammunition sensitivity and emphasizes the importance of rigorous testing methodologies.

This YouTube video thoroughly tests the accuracy of a Ballistic Advantage AR-15 barrel, specifically evaluating if it lives up to its Sub-MOA guarantee. The creator shoots 30-shot groups with four different types of ammunition, analyzing the results to see if they meet the manufacturer's criteria. The video includes a detailed look at the barrel's specifications, a borescope inspection, the range setup, and a comparison of different ammunition performance, concluding with an overall results analysis and leaderboard. The central question is whether the barrel performs as expected for a Sub-MOA rated component.

This video offers an in-depth analysis and accuracy test of the 16-inch Sons of Liberty Gun Works SPR Barrel. It covers the barrel's unique features like its .223 Wylde chamber, 1:7 twist rate, 3-groove polygonal rifling, and 5/8x24 threads. The review includes a borescope inspection of the internal quality, micrometer measurements of external dimensions, and a detailed shooting assessment with three 30-shot groups using different ammunition types (PMC Bronze 55gr, Hornady 73gr ELD Match, Berger 77gr OTM). The analysis focuses on mean radius, group size, velocity, standard deviation, and shooter-induced flyers. A new metric, A-ZED (A-Zone Equivalence Distance), is introduced to practically assess rifle performance at range. The video provides data-driven insights into the barrel's precision and performance.

This video features a head-to-head comparison of two BCM BFH ELW (Enhanced Lightweight) AR-15 barrels. The creator conducts thorough inspections, including borescoping and headspace checks, revealing some unexpected findings. The testing involves shooting 30-shot groups at 100 yards with three different ammunition types: Winchester 55gr M193 FMJ, Frontier 68gr BTHP, and Federal Gold Medal 77gr SMK. Data is collected using a Garmin Zero C1 Pro chronograph and a Mantis X10 Elite, with results analyzed using mean radius and a custom A-ZED scoring system. The video aims to determine the consistency and real-world accuracy of these specific barrel models and whether any bore anomalies correlate with performance.
