This video tests the reliability and accuracy of various 7.62x39mm ammunition brands, including Belom, ATS X-Force, New Republic, Tulammo, and Vympel, using a Ruger American rifle. The reviewer encountered significant reliability issues with Belom and ATS X-Force due to hard primers, while New Republic and Tulammo performed more consistently. Accuracy results varied, with Tulammo and New Republic showing promising groups at 50 yards.

This video details a range update for a Bear Creek Arsenal 7.62x39 AR-15 upper. After experiencing broken extractors and firing pins, the user installed a Right to Bear enhanced firing pin. The upper initially ran well with steel-cased Tulammo, but issues arose with stuck casings due to the barrel heating up and steel cases not contracting like brass. Switching to brass-cased Tulammo resolved the extraction problems and improved reliability and accuracy.

This YouTube video showcases the Smith & Wesson CSX pistol at the range, highlighting its reliability and accuracy across various ammunition types, including Belom and Tula. The reviewer notes the firearm's comfortable feel in hand but identifies two minor drawbacks: overly aggressive stippling for concealed carry and occasional slide bite. These issues are presented as easily mitigable through grip adjustment and minor modification. The video effectively demonstrates the CSX's performance and addresses common user concerns.

This guide details a DIY approach to handloading 410 shotshells, focusing on cost savings and utilizing repurposed tools alongside specific MEC press components. The process involves trimming 3-inch shells to 2.5 inches, depriming, resizing with a dedicated die, and priming. It then covers measuring powder (14 grains of Winchester 296), seating wads, adding shot (half an ounce of #6), and performing both pre-crimping and final crimping using MEC accessories. The presenter emphasizes the challenges of achieving perfect crimps without a full MEC press setup.
