This video provides an expert-level analysis of Hornady's 6mm ARC 80gr ELD-VT ammunition, tested on a Seekins DMR rifle. The instructor, a specialized precision rifle content creator, details the testing methodology, including chronograph readings, group size analysis using Ballistic-X, and long-range performance evaluation. The ammunition is deemed effective for coyote hunting within 400 yards, delivering consistent sub-MOA accuracy in a gas gun platform.

This video provides an expert-level comparison of 6.5 Grendel and .308 Winchester calibers, focusing on barrier penetration. The host, demonstrating high authority through methodical testing, reveals that .308 Winchester significantly outperforms 6.5 Grendel against various materials like lumber, sand, concrete, and steel.

This video from Classic Firearms discusses the top five calibers for the AR-15 platform, excluding the ubiquitous 5.56 NATO. Hosts Matt and Jason explore calibers like 9mm for CQB and suppression, 6.5 Grendel and 6mm ARC for extended range, .450 Bushmaster and .458 SOCOM for big game hunting, and 300 Blackout for its versatility. They also touch on 7.62x39 as an honorable mention, highlighting its power but also potential AR-15 platform compatibility issues. The discussion emphasizes factors like availability, cost, function, and purpose-built applications.

The CMMG BR4 is a new AR-15 style rifle designed for compliance in states with strict firearm regulations. It features a proprietary bufferless system, allowing for a unique stock and a side-charging, non-reciprocating charging handle. Available in multiple calibers and colors, it aims to provide a feature-rich rifle option for those who must adhere to state laws.

The CMMG BR4 is a new rifle platform designed to offer AR-15-like functionality in states with restrictive firearm laws. It features a unique lower receiver and a compact upper receiver that eliminates the need for a traditional buffer tube, allowing for a fixed stock. The BR4 is available in multiple calibers and barrel lengths, making it a versatile option for various shooting applications.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between the .44 Magnum and .50 Action Express calibers, featuring a Magnum Research Desert Eagle and a Ruger Super Redhawk. The host, demonstrating high authority, conducts a series of tests including penetration through lumber, steel, sand, and concrete, followed by ballistic gel testing with hollow-point rounds. The analysis highlights differences in muzzle energy, penetration, and wound channel, ultimately questioning the cost-to-performance ratio of the .50 AE.

This video provides an in-depth, experimental comparison between .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges, utilizing a chronograph and various barrier materials. The host, demonstrating high expertise through empirical testing, reveals significant performance differences, particularly in barrier penetration, with 5.56x45mm NATO generally outperforming .223 Remington.

This video from Banana Ballistics explores the surprising lethality of "less lethal" shotgun ammunition. Through rigorous testing with ballistic gel and plywood, the host demonstrates that rounds like bean bags and high-velocity .410 rubber buckshot can cause significant damage, challenging the common perception of these rounds as entirely non-lethal. The testing highlights the importance of understanding ammunition performance beyond its intended classification.

This video provides an objective comparison of 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP calibers through a series of rigorous tests including lumber, sand, concrete, and ballistics gel. The host, leveraging specialized equipment like a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph and digital calipers, presents data on velocity, penetration, and expansion. While .40 S&W showed competitive performance in some tests, the analysis concludes with a preference for 9mm due to its higher capacity and lower recoil, highlighting the importance of practical considerations beyond raw ballistics.
