223/5.56 VS 300 Blackout Ballistic Chicken Test!!!

This video tests the penetration capabilities of various calibers against a boulder, culminating with the .50 BMG. While smaller calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, and .45 ACP caused minimal damage, larger rounds like 5.56mm and 12 gauge slugs began to chip the rock. The .308 and initial .50 BMG shots caused significant fragmentation but did not penetrate. A second .50 BMG shot successfully penetrated the boulder.

This video follows a father and son's trip to the gun range, focusing on introducing the son to safe firearm handling and shooting.

The son experiences shooting various firearms, including a lever-action rifle chambered in .38 Special, an AR-15 in .223, a P90, and a P50 in 5.7x28mm, with an emphasis on the importance of suppressors for noise reduction.

This video, presented by Ted from Line45, outlines seven essential calibers Americans should stockpile to prepare for potential ammunition shortages, drawing parallels to past events like the 2020 crunch. The instructor emphasizes strategic stocking for training, defense, and survival, advising on specific types of ammunition within each caliber. The advice is geared towards proactive preparedness for firearm owners facing supply chain disruptions and panic buying.

Ted from Line45 advises stockpiling specific ammunition calibers to prepare for potential ammo shortages, drawing parallels to past events like the 2020 crunch. He emphasizes the importance of having sufficient training and defensive rounds for various firearms, including .22 LR, 9mm, 5.56/.223, 12-gauge slugs and buckshot, 7.62x39mm, and .308/7.62 NATO, as well as less common calibers. The advice focuses on proactive preparation to maintain training and defensive capabilities during scarcity.

This gel block test compares the terminal ballistics of 5.56x45mm NATO M855 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm Tula ammunition. The 5.56mm round demonstrated significant expansion and tumbling, while the 7.62x39mm round showed similar width expansion but greater length and penetration. The test highlights the distinct terminal effects of these common rifle calibers.

This video analyzes the cost-effectiveness of reloading ammunition in 2026, focusing on common calibers like 9mm and .223/5.56, as well as larger calibers like .300 Win Mag. It highlights that while reloading can offer savings, the initial cost of equipment and the current high price of brass, often imported from India and China, significantly impact the break-even point. The analysis suggests that reloading is most beneficial for those with a long-term shooting plan, typically breaking even after three years for common calibers and two years for larger ones, assuming brass is reused.

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.
