NEW: Athlon Rangecraft Velocity PRO Radar Chronograph

This video highlights six new accessories showcased at SHOT Show 2025, focusing on tactical and outdoor sporting applications. Featured items include the MFT Mounting Chest Plate and Acro Harness for firearm carry, the Athlon Rangecraft Velocity Pro radar chronograph for ballistic data, the Vudoo Precision Rifle Bag for secure storage, the Alps Outdoors Browning Outfitter Chair for comfort during hunts, the Hornady High-Speed 3-in-1 Case Trimmer for efficient reloading, and the Gideon Optics Granite MOS Competition Red Dot for precision shooting. The presenter, Ted from Line 45, provides insights into the functionality and benefits of each product.

John Parker from Shooting Sports USA provides a first look at the Labradar LX portable ballistic chronograph. This compact device utilizes Doppler radar technology, similar to its larger predecessor, to measure projectile velocities and calculate standard ballistic data including average, minimum, maximum velocity, standard deviation, and extreme spread. It also features a power factor calculator, beneficial for action shooting sports like USPSA and IDPA. The LX boasts an 8-hour internal battery, an arm button for power saving, and distinct modes for rifle, pistol, and bows, with a companion smartphone app for ease of use.

This guide details the setup and execution of suppressed shooting with the Faxon 8.6 BLK rifle, as demonstrated by Jaeger Z999. It covers the deployment of high-end accessories like the MDT CKYE-POD bipod and ZeroTech optics, the use of a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph for performance monitoring, and emphasizes the 'quiet and chunky' characteristics of the suppressed system. The instruction highlights advanced techniques for precision shooting with this powerful caliber.

This video demonstrates the setup and use of the Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph. It provides practical insights into measuring ammunition velocity, comparing factory loads to reloads, and understanding the impact of suppressors on perceived sound. The presenter, Steve from Mr. Big Kid, highlights the ease of use for obtaining accurate load data.

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.
