224 Valkyrie - 69/77/90gr Match Kings with CFE223

This video provides a detailed guide to reloading the 224 Valkyrie cartridge using Sierra Match King bullets (69, 77, and 90 grain) with Alliant Reloder 17 powder. It covers essential reloading steps from case preparation and powder charging to bullet seating and optional crimping, emphasizing the importance of verifying overall length for individual firearms. The instructor also discusses load data nuances and potential challenges like compressed charges and seating stem marks.

This guide details the process of reloading ammunition for the M1 Garand rifle, emphasizing the importance of specific components and parameters to ensure safe and accurate function. Key considerations include selecting appropriate primers, using a small base die for semi-automatic reliability, choosing powders with suitable burn rates (like H4895 or Varget), and selecting bullet weights and types (150-180 grain, flat base or boattail) that match the rifle's twist rate and barrel condition. The process concludes with chronograph testing for velocity verification before live fire.

This video explores the debate between light and fast versus heavy and slow bullet theories for terminal performance. The speaker, a handloader, emphasizes that bullet selection must match intended velocity ranges for consistent expansion and performance. He shares personal hunting experiences illustrating how different bullet types and velocities affect wound channels and tracking, highlighting the importance of bullet technology and application-specific choices.

This video details a marksmanship test comparing different shooting support setups for an AR-10. The instructor evaluates standard front and rear bags against an Atlas bipod and PRM monopod combination for both benchrest and prone shooting. The goal is to assess the impact of these supports on group size and shooter stability, highlighting the importance of consistent setup and fine adjustments for optimal accuracy.

This video compares the performance of four Hodgdon powders (H335, CFE223, Varget, BL-C2) in a 16-inch barreled Tavor 7 chambered in .308 Winchester. The testing focuses on velocity loss compared to advertised 24-inch barrel data, using maximum charges with 150-grain FMJBT bullets. CFE223 yielded the highest velocity, while BL-C2 showed the least velocity loss, indicating good performance in short barrels.

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.
