This is What's Ruining Your Rifle's Accuracy

This review of a custom AR-15 in .22 Nosler highlights its superior long-range performance compared to 5.56 NATO. The host, demonstrating advanced knowledge, showcases excellent accuracy from 100 to 500 yards with handloaded ammunition, noting light recoil and effective use of MOA adjustments. The build features a Midway USA barrel and Vortex optic.

This video focuses on the critical role of consistent powder charges in ammunition for achieving optimal long-range shooting performance. It highlights how minimizing velocity variations is key to accuracy at extended distances. The description also encourages viewers to share their own methods for maintaining velocity consistency and promotes subscribing to the Gunwerks YouTube channel for more content on long shots, tough shots, shooting tips, DIY projects, and ballistics.

This video celebrates the 80th anniversary of the .357 Magnum caliber, highlighting its historical significance and versatility. Hickok45 showcases various firearms chambered in .357 Magnum, including iconic revolvers like the Smith & Wesson Model 19 and Ruger GP100, as well as unique semi-automatics. The discussion covers historical context, ammunition types, and the evolution of bullet design, emphasizing the caliber's enduring appeal.

This video provides a detailed look at a 10mm handload featuring 9.0 grains of Hodgdon Longshot powder and a 165gr Sig Sauer V-Crown JHP bullet. An experienced handloader demonstrates the process and conducts chronograph testing through a Glock 29 (3.78-inch barrel) and a 1911 (5-inch barrel), yielding velocities of 1225 fps and 1325 fps respectively. The data highlights the impact of barrel length on ballistic performance.

This review of the Thompson Center Dimension rifle in .204 Ruger highlights its innovative interchangeable barrel system and smooth bolt action. The host provides detailed handload data for the .204 Ruger, emphasizing its light recoil. However, performance at longer ranges (300-400 yards) is limited by the lightweight 26-grain bullet's susceptibility to wind drift, with recommendations for heavier bullets for extended range accuracy.

This video explores the experimental creation of subsonic ammunition for the 300 Winchester Magnum caliber. The creator, describing themselves as a 'mad scientist,' details their process of developing subsonic loads by adjusting powder charges, aiming to achieve a quieter shooting experience, often referred to as 'Hollywood' quiet. The video includes reference shots with standard ammunition, examines the performance on a steel target, and provides a brief explanation of what constitutes subsonic ammunition. A discount code for the steel target system used is also offered towards the end.

This video demonstrates that a suppressed .22 LR pistol firing subsonic ammunition can be quieter than a compound bow. It explains how suppressors work by slowing gas release and highlights the sonic crack produced by supersonic rounds. Subsonic ammunition is shown to be crucial for maximum noise reduction.

This Backfire LLC #shorts video debunks a politician's claim that an AR-15 weighs as much as 10 moving boxes and shoots .50 caliber bullets. The AR-15 typically weighs around 6.5 lbs, and most variants chamber .22 caliber rounds like 5.56mm, not .50 caliber. While rare AR-15s can chamber .50 Beowulf, this is distinct from the common .50 BMG.

This short demonstrates the destructive power of a 12-gauge shotgun using ballistics gel. Slow-motion footage reveals 7.5 shot pellets traveling at 1300 fps, creating a 5-inch deep wound with a 1-foot spread from approximately 350 lead balls. The video also dissects a shell, highlighting the wad and gunpowder responsible for the impact.

The used gun section can reveal firearms that owners regret purchasing, often due to excessive recoil. A Browning X-Bolt Pro Featherlight in .300 RUM, despite its high-end features and cost, is frequently resold because the caliber's extreme recoil makes it unpleasant to shoot. This highlights the importance of considering practical shooting experience over raw ballistics when choosing a rifle.
