This video details a test comparing the accuracy of 70-grain Barnes TSX and Hornady GMX bullets in .223 Remington, using Vitavore N540 and IMR8208 XBR powders. The primary focus is to evaluate how barrel condition (dirty vs. clean) affects bullet performance, with detailed measurements of group size and velocity provided for each combination. The instructor, Johnny, demonstrates a methodical approach to reloading and shooting, highlighting the significant impact of copper fouling on velocity and accuracy.

This video from GUNBROS features an experienced speaker who argues that reloading ammunition is generally not cost-effective for most shooters, especially for common calibers like 9mm and .223 FMJ used for range shooting. He explains that mass production by companies like PMC, Magtech, and S&B offers unbeatable prices due to economies of scale. Reloading is presented as a viable option only for specialized needs such as wildcat cartridges or custom hunting rounds where precision and unique specifications are paramount.

The Caldwell Velociradar offers a radar-based approach to ballistic measurements, distinguishing itself from traditional optical chronographs. It measures bullet velocity and trajectory over distance, allowing for the calculation of ballistic coefficient (BC) and velocity loss due to drag. This provides more comprehensive data for understanding ammunition performance, even for non-reloaders using factory loads.

This video from Line 45 provides a comprehensive overview of 10 calibers experiencing significant price drops in 2025, making them ideal for stocking up.
