6.5 Creedmoor - 140gr Hornady Match BTHP with IMR4451 & RL22

This video discusses the emerging dominance of the 7mm PRC caliber in long-range precision shooting, positing it will surpass the 6.5 Creedmoor by late 2026. The 7mm PRC offers heavier bullets (160-195 grains), higher velocities (upwards of 3,100 fps), and greater energy (3,000 ft-lbs), making it a superior choice for distances beyond 800 yards and for hunting larger game. The caliber's rapid growth indicates strong industry backing.

The 7mm PRC is emerging as a dominant long-range precision rifle caliber, poised to surpass the 6.5 Creedmoor by late 2026. This is attributed to its heavier bullet weight (160-195 grains), higher velocity (upwards of 3,100 ft/s), and superior energy output, making it more effective beyond 800 yards and a better choice for large game hunting. The 7mm PRC offers an evolution in long-range capability, fitting a 'do-it-all' role more effectively than its predecessor.

This guide explains why using .308 powders like Varget in the 6.5 Creedmoor can limit velocity due to case capacity. It highlights the benefits of using purpose-built powders such as Winchester StaBALL 6.5, demonstrating a significant velocity increase (300 fps) by utilizing the case volume more effectively. The information is presented to help reloaders achieve better performance from their 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges.

This guide, presented by former Special Operations Sniper Ryan Cleckner, details how to gather Data on Previous Engagements (DOPE) in the field using Minutes of Angle (MOA). It covers using ammunition box data as a baseline, performing manual MOA calculations for specific distances and drops, comparing these with ballistic software, and refining adjustments through live fire. The importance of recording confirmed data for future use under similar conditions is heavily emphasized for mastering long-range accuracy.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to setting up a rifle for 1000-yard shooting, covering essential steps from initial fit and scope mounting to boresighting, parallax adjustment, and zeroing. It details the process of confirming zero with group shooting, utilizing a chronograph for ballistics data, and then truing those ballistics by shooting at extended ranges (400, 600, 800, 1000 yards). The instructors emphasize the importance of accurate data input into ballistic calculators and troubleshooting potential scope tracking issues.

This guide details how to create and utilize a DOPE (Data on Previous Engagements) card for your rifle, transforming it into a precision instrument usable by anyone. It covers zeroing, ammunition selection, ballistic calculations using apps and chronographs, accounting for suppressor effects, engaging moving targets, and documenting rifle-specific quirks. The instruction emphasizes practical application for first-round impacts at extended ranges, demonstrating how to transfer complex ballistics data into an easily usable format.

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.
