The 6mm ARC offers 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics in an AR-15 platform but faces significant reliability challenges due to its case taper, impacting magazine feeding. Bolt longevity is also a concern due to the larger case head requiring modifications. While it excels in precision matches past 500 yards, its high maintenance cost and niche appeal make it an expensive 'nerd' round.

This video tests ten popular deer rifle calibers using ballistic gel to evaluate terminal performance. The .308 Winchester and 7mm Remington Magnum demonstrated excellent penetration and expansion, while the 6.5 Creedmoor fragmented significantly. The .300 Winchester Magnum over-penetrated, and the .243 Winchester showed the weakest performance.

This video tests if a concrete highway barrier can stop a .50 caliber sniper rifle. After testing various suppressed calibers from 9mm up to .460 S&W Magnum, which caused significant damage but no penetration, the .50 caliber rifle was used. Three .50 caliber rounds were required to finally penetrate the 10-inch thick barrier, demonstrating its formidable stopping power against hardened structures.

This video demonstrates a successful method for removing a severely stuck case from an AR-10 barrel using a high-pressure grease gun and hydraulic oil. Despite a previous gunsmith's failure, the technique involving a custom adapter and specialized grease gun achieved extraction. Post-removal inspection and range testing confirmed the barrel's integrity and sub-MOA accuracy.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to reloading ammunition for the Thompson Center Compass chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum. It meticulously covers each stage of the reloading process, from an introduction and detailed discussion of components and equipment to the practical steps of brass resizing and preparation, load data analysis, setting overall length (OAL), priming, powder charging, and bullet seating. The video culminates in a range test to evaluate the reloaded ammunition, followed by a brass inspection and group review, and concludes with future plans. The content is highly educational for anyone looking to start reloading this specific caliber and rifle.

The Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 offers excellent value for its $400 price point, featuring First Focal Plane (FFP) capability and a usable EBR-2C reticle. While it shows some chromatic aberration and has slightly mushy turrets compared to higher-end models, its tracking accuracy is comparable to the more expensive Strike Eagle. It's a strong contender for budget-conscious long-range shooters, though FFP might be less ideal for hunting than SFP.

This video explores the experimental firing of .22 airgun pellets using .22 caliber nail gun blanks, achieving velocities over 2200 fps with Level 4 loads. Despite some pellet instability at 50 yards, accuracy remained surprisingly tight, demonstrating the potential for this unconventional projectile method. The host emphasizes proper muzzle-loading technique for rifling engagement and uses a chronograph for precise data collection.
