This review thoroughly tests the .300 Win Mag caliber using a Savage 110 Precision rifle. It demonstrates impressive sub-MOA accuracy at 100 yards with Winchester 180-grain Power Point ammunition. Destructive testing with Hornady ammunition on organic targets and a ballistic dummy head reveals the caliber's extreme terminal performance, making it a highly lethal option for long-range precision applications.

Two new cartridges, Hornady's 338 ARC and Winchester's 21 Sharp, have been released, sparking industry debate. The 338 ARC is designed for subsonic hunting on AR-15 platforms, directly challenging Q's 8.6 Blackout with differing opinions on case capacity and twist rates. The 21 Sharp aims to replace the 22 LR with a non-heeled bullet design, though rifle availability is currently limited.

The Winchester 21 Sharp is a new rimfire cartridge designed to improve upon the .22 LR. It uses a .22 LR case but features a .21 caliber non-heeled projectile for better aerodynamics and easier jacketed bullet manufacturing. This cartridge is positioned as an affordable, non-toxic alternative, especially relevant due to lead ammunition bans in areas like California. It offers various loads, including a 34-grain JHP at 1500 fps and a 25-grain lead-free at 1750 fps.

This video details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15. Key steps include using a Geissele Reaction Rod for upper receiver stability, proper torquing of the proprietary barrel nut, and secure installation of the gas block and tube. The rail is then slid on and secured with two cross-bolts using a T-handle hex wrench. Final steps involve muzzle device installation and a thorough inspection.

Proper ammunition storage is crucial for maintaining reliability and safety. Avoid storing ammo in cardboard boxes in damp environments, as this leads to moisture absorption and corrosion. Utilize airtight containers like ammo cans and control humidity with desiccants like silica gel packs. Heat accelerates gunpowder and primer degradation, so store ammo at stable room temperatures. Reloading primers are particularly vulnerable to moisture and require strict airtight storage.

This video demonstrates how to upgrade an AR-15's A2 furniture to Magpul components. It details the removal of the A2 grip using a Bondhus hex set and the installation of a Magpul MIAD grip with interchangeable backstraps for improved ergonomics. The process also covers preparing and installing the Magpul PRS stock, highlighting its adjustable features for cheek weld and length of pull.

This video explores the custom Remington 11-87 shotgun used as a prop in 'No Country for Old Men.' The film required a semi-automatic shotgun with a suppressor, a combination not readily available at the time. Prop master Larry Zanoff details how a non-functional, 'homemade' looking suppressor was custom-built for the 11-87, with the iconic silenced sound effect achieved entirely in post-production.
