300 BLK - Powder Coated Bullets with Winchester 296

This video details a reloading experiment for the 300 Blackout cartridge, focusing on the performance of Lil' Gun powder with powder-coated bullets. The instructor aims to identify potential powder-related issues that previously caused chambering malfunctions. By testing both supersonic and subsonic loads with different bullet weights, the video provides insights into ammunition reliability and function with this specific powder.

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 details the testing of IMR 4227 powder for 300 Blackout reloads using powder-coated bullets. The instructor experienced issues with powder-coated bullets in previous tests and aimed to determine if IMR 4227 would function reliably. Two bullet weights were tested: 160-grain and 202-grain, with specific powder charges and overall lengths outlined. The testing involved both unsuppressed and suppressed firing, with observations on cycling, bolt lock-back, and accuracy.

This guide details a load workup for 300 Blackout supersonic ammunition using 168gr Hornady A-Max bullets with IMR 4227 and Winchester 296 (H110) powders. It covers brass preparation, priming, powder charging, bullet seating with attention to overall length, and crimping. The process emphasizes careful observation of pressure signs and group sizes during live-fire testing at 100 yards using a Lead Sled for stability. The instructor, with apparent reloading experience, highlights discrepancies in published load data and the importance of individual firearm testing.

This video details the process of zeroing a 300 Blackout pistol at approximately 60 yards using Winchester 296 loaded with 150-grain Hornady Interlocks. The instructor demonstrates incremental optic adjustments based on shot placement, emphasizing the importance of observing group sizes and firearm function. The session also highlights challenges with improvised shooting rests and environmental factors, concluding with an assessment of the ammunition's performance and brass condition.

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 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.
