Hodgdon CFE BLK part 4: Light supersonics with the 110gr V-MAX and 125gr Ballistic Tip

This guide details how to test propellant temperature sensitivity, a crucial factor for consistent long-range accuracy. It emphasizes using a reliable chronograph and testing ammunition across a wide temperature range, from cold to hot conditions. The process involves calculating the muzzle velocity change per degree Fahrenheit to understand how temperature fluctuations affect performance, enabling shooters to account for these variations in their ballistic solutions.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of primer choice on reloading results. By switching from Remington Gold primers to Federal 210 primers, the presenter observed a notable increase in average velocity and a decrease in standard deviation, even with identical other load components. The test highlights how primer selection can affect accuracy and point of impact.

This discussion from Regular Guy Training LLC delves into the practical applications and limitations of the 300 Blackout cartridge, particularly in civilian contexts. The panel of firearms instructors and enthusiasts argues that while 300 Blackout was designed for specific military roles, its civilian utility is questionable due to reliability issues, high cost, and a lack of distinct advantages over other calibers. They emphasize that a 'fighting rifle' must be reliable, accurate, and durable, qualities they find lacking in many 300 Blackout platforms when pushed to their limits. The conversation also explores the concept of a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) and why 300 Blackout often falls short of meeting those requirements.

This guide details the process of testing reloaded .308 Winchester ammunition in semi-automatic rifles like the M14 and M1A. It covers setting up a chronograph, evaluating muzzle velocity and accuracy at various distances, and checking for pressure signs on fired brass. The testing also extends to a Century Arms CETME rifle to ensure cross-platform reliability. The speaker, an experienced reloader, emphasizes practical accuracy and safe reloading practices.

Sully from Line 45 outlines seven essential calibers for gun owners to stockpile in anticipation of future ammunition shortages, emphasizing their specific roles and the current market conditions. The video highlights the importance of proactive stocking for calibers like 300 Blackout, 308 Winchester, 10mm Auto, 12 Gauge, 22 LR, 223 Remington/5.56 NATO, and 9mm Luger, detailing their performance characteristics and availability challenges.

This video explores the complexities of high-pressure and hybrid ammunition, featuring insights from ammunition designer Jesse (Boondock Battle Station). It debunks the notion of 'easy plug-and-play' performance gains, highlighting manufacturing challenges, potential weapon system degradation, and the need for redesigned components. The discussion emphasizes that current commercial high-pressure loads offer modest velocity increases, and the true potential lies in future weapon system development for smaller platforms.

This guide details a successful method for removing a stuck cartridge case from a firearm barrel using hydraulic pressure generated by a high-pressure grease gun. The technique, demonstrated by Johnny's Reloading Bench, involves a custom adapter and motor oil to hydraulically force the case out. The video highlights the importance of proper tools and high pressure, showcasing a successful extraction that saved a valuable Krieger barrel.

Instruction from a firearms enthusiast and reloader on preparing and sizing 300 Winchester Magnum brass. The video details the challenges of reloading for this caliber, including the long throat of the Thompson Center Compass rifle and the importance of proper neck tension and shoulder bumping. It covers selecting collets, setting up sizing dies, using specialized tools for case maintenance, and determining optimal seating depths for accuracy.

This video provides an in-depth review and performance test of the Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 rifle scope, presented by Johnny, an experienced gear reviewer. The review covers technical specifications, a practical tracking test (box test) at 100 yards, and optical quality comparisons with other Vortex models. Johnny highlights the scope's First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle and its value proposition for its price point, while also noting limitations in optical clarity compared to higher-end models.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to reloading .22-250 Remington ammunition, focusing on a Remington Model 788 with a Douglas barrel. It details component selection (brass, bullets, primers, powders), case preparation, powder charging, bullet seating, and initial range testing. The instructor emphasizes accuracy and velocity, aiming to develop loads suitable for varmint and deer hunting, while also highlighting potential challenges with certain components and the firearm's specific characteristics.
