300 BLK - Powder Coated Bullets with Lil' Gun

This video details a systematic test of Winchester 296 powder for 300 Blackout reloads using powder-coated bullets. The presenter aims to identify if specific powders contribute to lead and fouling buildup in the chamber, causing cycling issues. Both supersonic and subsonic loads were tested to evaluate function and reliability.

This video provides expert insights into selecting Hodgdon powders for 300 Blackout reloading, emphasizing the importance of case capacity and powder burn rate. The instructor highlights CFE Black as a versatile, fine ball powder ideal for both supersonic and subsonic loads due to its metering characteristics and ability to fit within the small 300 Blackout case, especially with heavier bullets. H110 is noted for supersonic loads but can be insufficient for gas-operated firearms with heavy bullets, while IMR powders are suggested for reliable gas cycling with subsonic rounds.

This video debunks common firearm myths with practical demonstrations. It clarifies that suppressors do not make firearms silent but significantly reduce noise and recoil. The demonstration shows heavier bullets provide more knockdown power at closer ranges, while lighter, faster bullets with better ballistic coefficients are superior for long-range accuracy. The video also illustrates that barrel length does not inherently dictate accuracy, with caliber and ammunition quality being more critical factors for certain platforms like the 350 Legend. Finally, it concludes that rifle weight (heavy vs. light barrel) has a less significant impact on accuracy than ammunition and barrel quality, especially under varying environmental conditions.

This discussion from Regular Guy Training LLC delves into the practical applications and limitations of the 300 Blackout cartridge, particularly in civilian contexts. The panel of firearms instructors and enthusiasts argues that while 300 Blackout was designed for specific military roles, its civilian utility is questionable due to reliability issues, high cost, and a lack of distinct advantages over other calibers. They emphasize that a 'fighting rifle' must be reliable, accurate, and durable, qualities they find lacking in many 300 Blackout platforms when pushed to their limits. The conversation also explores the concept of a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) and why 300 Blackout often falls short of meeting those requirements.

This video details the testing of Hodgdon CFE BLK powder with powder-coated bullets in 300 Blackout. The presenter experienced previous issues with lead and 'goop' buildup in chambers when using powder-coated bullets, but this test aims to see if CFE BLK mitigates these problems. Both supersonic and subsonic loads were tested using specific bullet weights and powder charges.

This video details the testing of Reloder 7 powder for 300 Blackout reloads using powder-coated lead bullets. The instructor addresses historical feeding issues with such bullets and systematically tests different powders. Reloder 7 is evaluated with both 160-grain supersonic and 202-grain subsonic loads, with chronograph data and shooting performance observed. The instructor concludes that Reloder 7 performed without issues in this test.

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.
