Ballistics Gel Testing at 600 Yards: 6.5 PRC & 6.5 Creedmoor

This video provides a detailed comparison between the 6.5 Creedmoor and the 6 Creedmoor cartridges, focusing on their effectiveness for hunting and competition. It highlights the 6 Creedmoor's efficiency with shorter barrels, lower recoil, and comparable terminal ballistics to the 6.5 Creedmoor for deer hunting. The content includes ballistics gel testing, accuracy demonstrations, and discussions on rifle configurations and ammunition choices.

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 episode of Wind Call Wednesday, presented by Ghost Firearms Training LLC, introduces a challenge where viewers judge wind conditions solely by observing mirage. The instructor, demonstrating expert authority, emphasizes using mirage over wind flags for accurate wind calls. The video details the specific equipment used, including a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor and American Gunner ammunition, along with environmental data, to illustrate the factors influencing long-range accuracy.

This video provides an expert-level overview of six highly accurate and deadly long-range precision calibers for 2025. Ted from Line 45 details the performance characteristics of the 6.8 Western, 300 PRC, 6.5 PRC, 7mm PRC, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 338 Lapua Magnum, emphasizing their accuracy, energy retention, and reduced wind drift at extreme distances. The discussion includes specific ballistic data, comparisons to other calibers, and practical applications in hunting and tactical scenarios.

This video provides an in-depth look at precision rifle setups for both PRS (Precision Rifle Series) and NRL Hunter competitions, as well as a versatile hunting rifle. The instructor, demonstrating advanced expertise, details component choices from chassis and optics to ammunition and support gear. Key takeaways include the importance of MRAD reticles, strategic use of weights for balance and recoil, reliable magazine feeding, and the critical role of ballistic calculators and stable shooting platforms in achieving consistent accuracy at distance.

This video provides an expert-level explanation of Ballistic Coefficient (BC) from a seasoned firearms instructor. It details how BC affects bullet trajectory and wind drift, emphasizing its importance for long-range accuracy (500-1000 yards). The instructor also covers factors influencing BC like bullet mass and shape, and discusses the critical interplay between BC, bullet weight, and rifle twist rate, cautioning against manufacturers overstating BC values.

This guide details how to significantly reduce the noise signature of a .22 LR pistol using a suppressor and subsonic ammunition. The presenter, demonstrating high authority, explains the physics behind suppressor function and the importance of ammunition choice for optimal quietness. The video culminates in a direct comparison showing the suppressed pistol is quieter than a compound bow.

This video debunks a politician's claim about the weight and caliber of an AR-15. The speaker, demonstrating expert authority, clarifies that an AR-15 typically weighs around 6.5 lbs, not the equivalent of 10 moving boxes. It also explains that while some rare AR-15 variants can chamber .50 Beowulf, the common calibers are much smaller, like .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO, and not the .50 BMG.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of 12-gauge shotgun ballistics, featuring insights from Jim Harmer. It details the destructive potential of a 12-gauge load in ballistics gel, highlighting the wide wound channel created by numerous pellets. The content includes a breakdown of shotgun shell components and emphasizes safety warnings for viewers.

This video from Backfire offers an expert assessment of a pre-owned Browning X-Bolt Pro Featherlight in 300 RUM, highlighting its resale value and the significant recoil associated with the caliber in a lightweight platform. The instructor emphasizes understanding why high-end firearms might be resold, particularly due to chambering and its impact on shootability.
