223 Rem - 40gr V-MAX with VV N120 & N133

This video from Yee Yee Life tests how many rolls of toilet paper are required to stop various calibers of bullets, ranging from .22 LR to .50 AE. The experiment uses a target dummy named Fred and systematically fires different firearms into stacks of toilet paper to measure penetration depth. The results show a clear correlation between caliber size and penetration, with larger calibers requiring significantly more toilet paper to be stopped.

This video tests the ballistic resistance of a 1kg rubber mallet against various calibers of ammunition, from .22 LR to .308 Winchester. The mallet demonstrates significant resistance, absorbing or deflecting most rounds, but is ultimately penetrated by the .308. The test highlights the surprising durability of the rubber mallet against firearm projectiles.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of various common firearm calibers through a stack of 1000 paper plates. It highlights how bullet energy and construction significantly affect penetration depth, with higher caliber rounds generally requiring more plates to stop. The experiment provides a visual, albeit informal, understanding of ballistic performance against a soft, uniform medium.

This video provides a strategic guide to stockpiling essential ammunition calibers before potential shortages. The presenter, Ted from Line 45, emphasizes identifying calibers that historically vanish first during crises, such as .22 LR for training and small game, 9mm for its widespread use in handguns, .223/5.56 for AR platforms, 12-gauge slugs and buckshot for home defense, 7.62x39 for AK-pattern rifles, and .308/7.62 NATO for precision and battle rifles. The advice focuses on maintaining sufficient reserves for training, defense, and hunting, acknowledging the impact of supply chain disruptions, import restrictions, and increased demand from various sectors like law enforcement and military.

This video provides a comprehensive ballistic test comparing 5.56/.223 muzzle velocities across various AR-15 barrel lengths, from 7.5 inches to 20 inches. Conducted by Classic Firearms at Take Aim Training Range, the experiment utilizes Ballistic Advantage uppers and PMC XTAC 62-grain ammunition to demonstrate the significant FPS gains achieved with longer barrels. The data highlights how barrel length directly impacts projectile velocity and overall performance, offering valuable insights for firearm enthusiasts.

This video provides expert advice from Ted of Line 45 on essential ammunition calibers to stockpile in anticipation of potential ammo shortages. It details why specific calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .223/5.56, 12-gauge slugs/buckshot, 7.62x39mm, and .308/7.62 NATO are critical for training, defense, and general use, highlighting factors like production, demand, and geopolitical influences. The instructor emphasizes maintaining a sufficient reserve of both training and defensive ammunition for each caliber owned.

This guide details a successful method for removing a stuck cartridge case from a firearm barrel using hydraulic pressure generated by a high-pressure grease gun. The technique, demonstrated by Johnny's Reloading Bench, involves a custom adapter and motor oil to hydraulically force the case out. The video highlights the importance of proper tools and high pressure, showcasing a successful extraction that saved a valuable Krieger barrel.

Instruction from a firearms enthusiast and reloader on preparing and sizing 300 Winchester Magnum brass. The video details the challenges of reloading for this caliber, including the long throat of the Thompson Center Compass rifle and the importance of proper neck tension and shoulder bumping. It covers selecting collets, setting up sizing dies, using specialized tools for case maintenance, and determining optimal seating depths for accuracy.

This video provides an in-depth review and performance test of the Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 rifle scope, presented by Johnny, an experienced gear reviewer. The review covers technical specifications, a practical tracking test (box test) at 100 yards, and optical quality comparisons with other Vortex models. Johnny highlights the scope's First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle and its value proposition for its price point, while also noting limitations in optical clarity compared to higher-end models.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to reloading .22-250 Remington ammunition, focusing on a Remington Model 788 with a Douglas barrel. It details component selection (brass, bullets, primers, powders), case preparation, powder charging, bullet seating, and initial range testing. The instructor emphasizes accuracy and velocity, aiming to develop loads suitable for varmint and deer hunting, while also highlighting potential challenges with certain components and the firearm's specific characteristics.
