10mm 165gr Vcrown longshot max charge 3.8” and 5” velocity

This video demonstrates the process of testing a handloaded 10mm cartridge featuring a 165gr Sig V-Crown JHP bullet and 9.0 grains of Hodgdon Longshot powder. An experienced handloader uses a Caldwell chronograph to measure velocities and calculate muzzle energy from two different barrel lengths (3.78" Glock 29 and 5" 1911), providing objective ballistic data.

This video demonstrates firing the Glock 29 in 10mm, highlighting its capability with full-power loads and featuring aftermarket Handle It Edge Series grips. The presenter showcases one-handed shooting techniques on various targets, offering a casual yet informative look at this potent handgun and ammunition combination. The Glock 29 is lauded as an exceptional 10mm handgun.

Hickok45, a seasoned firearms instructor, shares his reloading philosophy, emphasizing consistency and familiarity with loads. He advises new reloaders to secure their presses and consider progressive presses for high-volume shooting. A key takeaway is sticking with established bullet weights and powder charges for specific calibers to maintain consistent point of impact and predictable recoil characteristics, which is crucial for developing shooting skills and ensuring carry ammunition feels similar to practice rounds.

Hickok45, with over 10 years of reloading experience, addresses the common concern of 'case bulge' in .40 S&W and 10mm brass, particularly from Glock pistols. He demonstrates that this expansion near the rim is a characteristic of looser chambers and, based on his extensive personal experience firing and reloading thousands of rounds, is generally not a safety issue, debunking online 'scares'.

This video argues for the resurgence of revolvers in concealed carry, highlighting eight key benefits over modern polymer semi-automatics. The instructor emphasizes their superior reliability, simplicity of operation, and the unique dual-action trigger system offering both double-action and single-action modes. Durability, a wider range of available calibers (including powerful magnum rounds), and potential for greater accuracy in single-action mode are also discussed, alongside the inherent joy of shooting revolvers.

This video provides a visual comparison of the ballistic performance of 45 ACP and 10mm ammunition using water jugs as a medium. The demonstration shows both calibers causing significant hydrostatic shock and rupture to the jugs, highlighting their respective power. The speaker, demonstrating experienced handling, offers a direct comparison of the effects.

This video provides a head-to-head accuracy test between the Ruger 10/22 and the Marlin Model 60, both chambered in .22 LR. The host, an experienced shooter, details the test methodology, including ammunition types and a consistent 25-yard range. The comparison highlights key features of each rifle, such as magazine capacity and aftermarket availability, concluding with a visual presentation of the shot groups.

This video details a comprehensive ballistics gel test for various .38 Special loads fired from a Smith & Wesson 642 snub-nose revolver. The expert instructor analyzes bullet expansion, penetration, and wound channels, offering critical insights into ammunition performance for self-defense. Key takeaways include the importance of bullet design for reliable expansion in short barrels and safety considerations for handloading .38 Special ammunition.

This guide details a head-to-head ballistic gel test comparing 9mm Luger +P and .40 S&W ammunition, as demonstrated by an experienced firearms reviewer. The test involved firing specific loads through denim barriers into gel blocks, measuring velocity and penetration, and analyzing recovered projectiles. The .40 S&W HST showed more dramatic expansion, while the 9mm +P achieved deeper penetration. The comparison highlights trade-offs between terminal performance, capacity, and recoil in compact firearms.

This video demonstrates the initial live fire of a .50 Beowulf AR-15 platform rifle, featuring a side-charging upper receiver and a Vortex red dot optic. The host, identified as a firearms enthusiast and content creator, showcases the loading process, firing, and the significant impact of the large caliber rounds on steel targets at an outdoor range. The demonstration highlights proficient firearm handling and range safety awareness.
