22-250 Remington: One of my all-time favorite cartridges

This review of the Remington R15 in .204 Ruger highlights its potential for varmint hunting and target shooting. The expert instructor notes the rifle's light recoil and inherent accuracy, but emphasizes the significant impact of wind on the light 26-grain .204 Ruger bullets. For improved performance in windy conditions or at longer ranges, heavier bullet weights are recommended.

This review of the Thompson Center Dimension rifle in .204 Ruger highlights its innovative interchangeable barrel system and smooth bolt action. The host provides detailed handload data for the .204 Ruger, emphasizing its light recoil. However, performance at longer ranges (300-400 yards) is limited by the lightweight 26-grain bullet's susceptibility to wind drift, with recommendations for heavier bullets for extended range accuracy.

This review covers a Savage Model 99C Series A rifle chambered in .22-250 Remington, a rifle passed down through family. Despite significant cosmetic wear, the rifle is noted for its smooth action and positive magazine release. The .22-250 caliber is highlighted for its flat trajectory, making it suitable for varmint hunting at moderate ranges. The rifle features a tang safety and a cocked indicator, and while it was never scoped, it is tapped for one. The reviewer estimates its manufacture year to be in the 1970s or 80s.

This video provides an expert-level unboxing and overview of the Volquartsen Vanquish 22 Superlite ISR. The firearm is based on the Ruger 10/22 platform, featuring a Magpul Hunter X-22 chassis and an 18.5-inch integrally suppressed barrel, a collaboration with Angstadt Arms. The review highlights Volquartsen's signature light trigger pull, measuring between 2.5 to 3 pounds, and discusses its suitability for quiet plinking, varmint hunting, and training due to minimal recoil and noise.

Elliott Delp reviews a $1,300, 16-inch, 5.56 match-grade upper receiver, questioning its practical application beyond coyote hunting. Drawing from his tactical shooting background, he finds it ill-suited for 'running and gunning' drills and doubts its efficacy for dedicated long-range precision. The video seeks audience input on optimal uses for this specific rifle configuration.

Elliott Delp reviews the LaRue Tactical AR-15 lower receiver, priced at $625. While expensive and lacking standard furniture, its primary value lies in the included MBT-2S two-stage trigger.

This video demonstrates that a suppressed .22 LR pistol firing subsonic ammunition can be quieter than a compound bow. It explains how suppressors work by slowing gas release and highlights the sonic crack produced by supersonic rounds. Subsonic ammunition is shown to be crucial for maximum noise reduction.

This Backfire LLC #shorts video debunks a politician's claim that an AR-15 weighs as much as 10 moving boxes and shoots .50 caliber bullets. The AR-15 typically weighs around 6.5 lbs, and most variants chamber .22 caliber rounds like 5.56mm, not .50 caliber. While rare AR-15s can chamber .50 Beowulf, this is distinct from the common .50 BMG.

This short demonstrates the destructive power of a 12-gauge shotgun using ballistics gel. Slow-motion footage reveals 7.5 shot pellets traveling at 1300 fps, creating a 5-inch deep wound with a 1-foot spread from approximately 350 lead balls. The video also dissects a shell, highlighting the wad and gunpowder responsible for the impact.

The used gun section can reveal firearms that owners regret purchasing, often due to excessive recoil.
