350 Legend 500 Yards Accurately

This video details the meticulous process of developing a precision load for the 25x47 Lapua wildcat cartridge. Hosts Gavin Gear and F-Class John share their journey from initial discouraging results to achieving sub-quarter-minute groups with a focus on small powder charge increments and careful observation of group characteristics. They highlight the importance of Alpha brass and demonstrate the cartridge's capability at extended ranges, offering valuable insights for handloaders seeking peak accuracy.

This guide details how a novice shooter successfully engaged targets at 1,000 yards with a Barrett MRAD rifle. It emphasizes the importance of proper setup, including using a booster seat for stability and familiarizing the shooter with scope adjustments. The process covers aiming, firing, cycling the bolt, and making ballistic corrections for long-range accuracy, demonstrating that even beginners can achieve hits with the right approach and equipment.

This guide details how to achieve a Natural Point of Aim (NPA) with precision rifles, emphasizing kinesthetic alignment. It teaches shooters to orient the rifle towards the target first, then adjust their body position to meet the rifle, rather than forcing the rifle onto the target. Proper shoulder engagement and rear bag manipulation are key for stability and fine-tuning.

This three-day mid-range rifle course at Thunder Ranch, instructed by Kit Badger, focuses on developing essential long-range shooting skills. Key takeaways include mastering rifle zeroing, collecting precise ballistic data at known distances, and applying this data for accurate engagement. The course emphasizes practical application through positional shooting, reticle hold techniques, and diagnostic drills to improve shooter and rifle performance.

This video provides a comprehensive comparison of the 6mm ARC and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges, focusing on their performance in various shooting scenarios. It details recoil differences, terminal ballistics through ballistic gel and pork shoulders, and long-range accuracy out to 1000 yards. The content also touches on the emerging role of 6mm ARC in special operations and its practicality for civilian use, contrasting it with the established dominance of 5.56.

This video demonstrates long-range shooting techniques, focusing on wind calls and target acquisition at extreme distances. The instructor emphasizes the importance of precise aiming points based on wind conditions, using a graph to illustrate ballistic trajectories. The demonstration involves a Barrett MRAD chambered in .416 Barrett.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
