Developing the Ultimate 300 Norma Mag ELR Load (1 Mile)

This video demonstrates an expert-level extreme long-range (ELR) shot of 2,377 yards using a Gunwerks HAMR rifle chambered in .375 XC. The footage highlights the importance of precision, recoil management, and effective spotting with specialized equipment like Nightforce optics and high-magnification spotting scopes. The successful impact on a steel target confirms the rifle's capability and the shooter's skill at significant distances.

This video provides a detailed ballistic comparison between the 6.5 PRC and the 270 Winchester, highlighting their performance differences in penetration, terminal ballistics, and long-range accuracy. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, demonstrates that while the cartridges are ballistically similar in many aspects, the 6.5 PRC's modern design and ability to stabilize high-BC bullets offer a slight advantage in extended range performance.

This episode features Frank Gy of Snipers Hide discussing the evolution of precision rifle shooting, from historical practices to modern competition like PRS and NRL. Gy shares insights on extreme long-range (ELR) shooting, the development of specialized cartridges like the 6GT, and the trend towards switch-barrel rifle systems. He emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and adapting to new techniques and technologies in the precision rifle community.

This livestream covers advanced firearms topics including the military's quick-change barrel requirement and its practical implications for civilians, emphasizing the need for re-zeroing after barrel swaps. It also delves into pistol cycling issues for individuals with weaker wrists, discussing recoil spring adjustments and slide lightening as potential solutions, and highlights the importance of developing wrist stiffness for effective follow-up shots. The discussion extends to the historical significance of World War II firearms like the M1 Garand and MG34, and addresses concerns about ammunition types like green tip impacting barrel life, concluding that accuracy degradation is a more immediate concern than barrel damage for most civilian shooters.

This video explores "weaponized math" for long-range shooting, presenting a living document created by Jack Master on Sniper's Hide. The content focuses on providing users with modifiable sheets, documents, and charts for long-range ballistics calculations, particularly for those who may not be quick with arithmetic. It aims to be a resource for competitors, hunters, and operators, sponsored by Modular Driven Technologies.

This video details the comprehensive manufacturing process of brass rifle casings by Peterson Cartridge. It covers the transformation of raw brass cups through multiple drawing, annealing, washing, heading, trimming, and tapering stages. The process emphasizes precision, quality control through extensive automated and manual inspection, and specialized treatments like neck re-annealing and anti-tarnish coating to ensure match-grade performance.

This guide details essential brass preparation steps beyond basic decapping and sizing for improved reloading accuracy. It covers cleaning, primer pocket uniforming, neck chamfering and deburring, and neck brushing. The video emphasizes that even new brass can benefit from these processes to ensure consistent bullet seating and optimal performance. The presenter, F-class John from Ultimate Reloader, highlights chamfering and deburring as critical steps that should not be skipped, regardless of time constraints.

This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This video details extreme pressure testing of the 6mm ARC cartridge using both a bolt-action rifle and an AR-15 platform. The experiment pushes the limits of Alpha Munitions brass with 8208 XBR powder, achieving velocities exceeding factory specifications and even 6 Creedmoor. The testing culminates in destructive attempts using a fast-burning pistol powder in an AR-15, demonstrating the significant forces involved and the potential for catastrophic failure. The presenter, Gavin Gear, emphasizes that these tests are for research only and should not be replicated due to extreme danger.
