Gunwerks Customer Experience

This video provides a comparative analysis of the 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, and 300 PRC cartridges through various ballistic tests. It details penetration through steel and wood, expansion in water, and recoil energy differences. The presenter, an experienced shooter, highlights the practical implications for hunters and long-range shooters, emphasizing recoil management and terminal ballistics.

This video provides an expert-level guide on how to properly dope a rifle for long-range hunting, presented by an instructor with approximately 20 years of experience. It details the process from initial bore sighting and zeroing to using a ballistics calculator and confirming dope at various distances. The instructor emphasizes the importance of barrel break-in, consistent muzzle velocity, and understanding environmental factors for accurate long-range shots.

Seth Swerczek, a former Hornady ballistician, provides expert insights into modern cartridge design, bullet technology, and practical ballistics. He explains the advantages of standardized cartridges like the 300 PRC over traditional ones like the 300 Win Mag for factory consistency and accuracy. The discussion covers bullet performance for hunting (ELD-X, CX) and precision shooting (A-TIP), along with practical advice for handloaders and considerations for short-barreled rifles.

This guide details how to identify brass that is unsafe for reloading, focusing on visual cues like case splits and loose primer pockets. It emphasizes that brass fired in incorrect chambers or subjected to excessive pressure can become unreloadable. The video also touches on the expected lifespan of brass for high-pressure cartridges like the 7 PRC.

This video provides essential guidance on determining the lifespan of magnum brass cases during reloading. Instructor Kent Sakamoto explains that magnum cartridges like the 7 PRC, due to higher pressures, typically yield 3-4 reloads, whereas lower-pressure cartridges such as the 6.5 Creedmoor or 6 GT can last for six or more reloads. Key inspection points include looking for case neck splits, pierced primers, black residue around the primer pocket, and loose primer pockets, all indicating excessive pressure or wear that necessitates retiring the brass.

This video provides essential guidance on safe and effective reloading load development. It emphasizes starting with lower powder charges rather than maximums, even when bullet weights differ slightly from published data. The discussion highlights the importance of balancing accuracy, velocity, and bullet performance, and warns against potential safety issues associated with starting at the top of a load chart.

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.
