Episode 198: Celebrating 20 Years of Gunwerks

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 video challenges the common perception of the .38 Special as underpowered by analyzing its performance in realistic, short-barreled snub-nose revolvers. It emphasizes that traditional ballistic testing from longer barrels doesn't reflect real-world carry and use. The discussion highlights how ammunition selection, particularly wadcutters and carefully chosen hollow-points, along with understanding recoil physics and hit probability, are crucial for effective .38 Special performance in defensive scenarios.

This guide details the process of truing ballistic data for extreme long-range shooting using the Gunwerks Endex rifle. It emphasizes the importance of real-world impact data to refine ballistic calculations via the Revic app, ensuring accuracy at distances exceeding 1500 yards. The video showcases precise execution by manufacturer experts, highlighting the rifle's performance and portability.

This video explores the top 5 deadliest revolver calibers, detailing their ballistic performance, practical applications, and recoil characteristics. It highlights the .357 Magnum for its versatility, the .44 Magnum for its balance of power and manageability, the .480 Ruger for wilderness defense, the .454 Casull for extreme stopping power, and the .500 S&W Magnum as a 'cannon' for the most demanding situations. Proper firearm handling and safety are implicitly emphasized throughout.

This video provides an in-depth guide to shooting from the prone position, emphasizing stability and accuracy. It covers proper body alignment, the importance of a jaw weld, effective use of bipods and rear bags for recoil management, and techniques for achieving a natural point of aim. The instruction highlights how to optimize the prone position for comfort and effectiveness in various field conditions.

This video humorously illustrates the common pitfall of attributing shooting errors to equipment rather than skill. It highlights that even with high-end gear like EOTech Vudu scopes and Manners stocks, proficiency in long-range shooting requires dedicated training. The core message, emphasized by the creator, is that 'Money Doesn't Buy Skill. Train.'

This guide details the advanced technique for executing a long-range elk hunt, as demonstrated by a 12-year-old hunter under expert supervision. It emphasizes precise range estimation, scope adjustment using ballistic turrets, and marksmanship fundamentals for a successful shot at extreme distances (1376 yards). The process highlights the importance of preparation, practice, and specialized equipment for challenging hunting scenarios.

This expert guide from Gunwerks demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet trajectory. Jeremy Winters, a Gunwerks Product Specialist, explains how Earth's rotation can shift Point of Impact (POI) by over 1 MOA at 1000 yards when shooting East or West. The video provides a live-fire demonstration and recommends shooting North or South to collect accurate ballistic data, minimizing Coriolis-induced errors.

This guide details the process of transforming a factory Remington Model 700 Sendero into a more capable long-range rifle, as demonstrated by Mike Davidson from Gunwerks. Key steps include a trigger upgrade to a 2-pound pull and a precision bedding job using Devcon Aluminum Putty to ensure action stability. The process emphasizes proper disassembly, careful application of bedding materials, and correct reassembly with specific torque values for action screws.

This video demonstrates a professional long-range coyote hunt in Montana, showcasing the effective use of a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler, a representative for Gunwerks, highlights the 'range, dial, and kill' method for successful predator engagement at various distances, from close encounters to over 500 yards. The guide emphasizes proficiency with long-range optics and equipment for accurate shots in challenging terrain.
