This video provides an expert overview of the new Bergara Sierra CF rifle, presented by NRA representative Jeff Johnston and Bergara's Chad Shear at SHOT Show. The rifle is highlighted for its value and accuracy, featuring a 100% carbon fiber stock, Cure carbon fiber barrel, and fluted bolt. It's available in a range of calibers suitable for big game hunting.

This video showcases ten newly revealed firearms for 2025, highlighting innovations from manufacturers like Angstadt Arms, Savage Arms, Springfield Armory, SIG Sauer, Henry Repeating Arms, and Best of the West Arms. Key features discussed include roller-delayed blowback systems, integral compensators, new rimfire platforms, and advanced rifle chassis designs, with an emphasis on performance, ergonomics, and emerging market trends.

This video reviews the Bergara B14 Ridge Wilderness Carbon rifle, highlighting its lightweight design due to the carbon barrel, making it ideal for hunters. The presenter, Michael from Hunt Fish Shoot, demonstrates its accuracy at 500 yards with a Leupold VX-5 scope and Hornady Match ammunition.

This video details the comprehensive manufacturing process of brass rifle casings by Peterson Cartridge. It covers the transformation of raw brass cups through multiple drawing, annealing, washing, heading, trimming, and tapering stages. The process emphasizes precision, quality control through extensive automated and manual inspection, and specialized treatments like neck re-annealing and anti-tarnish coating to ensure match-grade performance.

This guide details essential brass preparation steps beyond basic decapping and sizing for improved reloading accuracy. It covers cleaning, primer pocket uniforming, neck chamfering and deburring, and neck brushing. The video emphasizes that even new brass can benefit from these processes to ensure consistent bullet seating and optimal performance. The presenter, F-class John from Ultimate Reloader, highlights chamfering and deburring as critical steps that should not be skipped, regardless of time constraints.

This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This video details extreme pressure testing of the 6mm ARC cartridge using both a bolt-action rifle and an AR-15 platform. The experiment pushes the limits of Alpha Munitions brass with 8208 XBR powder, achieving velocities exceeding factory specifications and even 6 Creedmoor. The testing culminates in destructive attempts using a fast-burning pistol powder in an AR-15, demonstrating the significant forces involved and the potential for catastrophic failure. The presenter, Gavin Gear, emphasizes that these tests are for research only and should not be replicated due to extreme danger.
