7mm PRC vs 7mm Rem Mag vs 280: Not Even Close?

This guide details the process of configuring a factory rifle for long-range shooting, focusing on gathering accurate drop data to create a custom ballistic turret. Expert Mike Davidson from Gunwerks demonstrates using the G7 ballistics program, verifying zero at 200 yards, and validating ballistic predictions at 500 and 950 yards. The process involves analyzing field data to refine muzzle velocity estimates and ensure precise long-range accuracy.

This guide details the process of achieving an extreme long-range shot, specifically one mile, as demonstrated in the video. It emphasizes precise rifle setup, accurate ballistic calculations accounting for environmental factors like wind and spin drift, and effective communication with a spotter. The demonstration highlights the capability of budget-friendly optics when used with proper technique and expertise.

This guide details essential techniques for long-range precision shooting, drawing from expert instruction. It covers rifle and scope setup, emphasizing critical elements like parallax adjustment, scope height, and preventing canting. The guide also delves into body positioning, trigger control, and the use of advanced tools like chronographs and ballistics apps for accurate long-range engagement. The instruction highlights how proper fundamentals and equipment setup enable even new shooters to achieve sub-MOA accuracy.

This guide details how to eliminate parallax error in rifle scopes, a critical step for long-range accuracy. Parallax occurs when the reticle appears to move relative to the target due to the shooter's eye not being perfectly centered. By adjusting the scope's parallax knob until the reticle remains stationary relative to the target when the shooter's head moves, the shooter ensures the target image and reticle are in the same focal plane, significantly improving shot placement. This technique is essential for any shooter seeking precision at extended distances.

This video provides an expert-level comparison between the .44 Magnum and .50 Action Express calibers, featuring a Magnum Research Desert Eagle and a Ruger Super Redhawk. The host, demonstrating high authority, conducts a series of tests including penetration through lumber, steel, sand, and concrete, followed by ballistic gel testing with hollow-point rounds. The analysis highlights differences in muzzle energy, penetration, and wound channel, ultimately questioning the cost-to-performance ratio of the .50 AE.

This video provides an in-depth, experimental comparison between .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges, utilizing a chronograph and various barrier materials. The host, demonstrating high expertise through empirical testing, reveals significant performance differences, particularly in barrier penetration, with 5.56x45mm NATO generally outperforming .223 Remington.

This video from Banana Ballistics explores the surprising lethality of "less lethal" shotgun ammunition. Through rigorous testing with ballistic gel and plywood, the host demonstrates that rounds like bean bags and high-velocity .410 rubber buckshot can cause significant damage, challenging the common perception of these rounds as entirely non-lethal. The testing highlights the importance of understanding ammunition performance beyond its intended classification.

This video provides an objective comparison of 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP calibers through a series of rigorous tests including lumber, sand, concrete, and ballistics gel. The host, leveraging specialized equipment like a Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph and digital calipers, presents data on velocity, penetration, and expansion. While .40 S&W showed competitive performance in some tests, the analysis concludes with a preference for 9mm due to its higher capacity and lower recoil, highlighting the importance of practical considerations beyond raw ballistics.
