New Range Ready Reloading Class | Gun Talk Radio

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 guide details the process of selecting and using reliable load data for reloading ammunition, emphasizing a systematic approach from firearm and application assessment to component selection and data interpretation. It highlights the importance of using official sources like Hodgdon's reloading data center, understanding key parameters like charge weight and pressure, and the critical process of working up loads while monitoring velocity and accuracy. The instructor stresses safety and meticulous record-keeping for successful and safe ammunition reloading.

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 video addresses the crucial question of what it takes to be 'good enough' for a firearms training class, particularly those taught by Ben Stoeger and like-minded instructors. The core message emphasizes that while technical skill is not the primary determinant for class entry, fundamental safety and a willingness to learn and practice are paramount. Instructors aim to provide tools for self-improvement, expecting students to engage in consistent practice outside of class to maximize the value of the training.

This video details the meticulous process of developing a precision load for the 25x47 Lapua wildcat cartridge. Hosts Gavin Gear and F-Class John share their journey from initial discouraging results to achieving sub-quarter-minute groups with a focus on small powder charge increments and careful observation of group characteristics. They highlight the importance of Alpha brass and demonstrate the cartridge's capability at extended ranges, offering valuable insights for handloaders seeking peak accuracy.

This video from Ballistics Lab provides an expert-level explanation of standard deviation in ammunition performance. The instructor demonstrates how lower standard deviation in handloaded ammunition leads to tighter groups and more consistent impacts at longer distances compared to factory loads. The content highlights the practical application of ballistic data for improving shooting accuracy.

This video demonstrates a realistic home invasion self-defense scenario using force-on-force training with Simunition. Expert instruction from Chris Cerino highlights the importance of tactical techniques like the 'Shoulder Bump' for improved weapon handling and cover utilization. The training emphasizes stress inoculation and identifying areas for improvement to increase survivability.

This guide, based on instruction from Mike Seeklander, a professional trainer and competitive shooter, details tactical movement and cover techniques. It emphasizes proactive avoidance, proper use of cover, and minimizing exposure when engaging threats. The techniques are demonstrated using various firearms and accessories, highlighting practical application in self-defense scenarios.

This video demonstrates critical self-defense principles through simulated real-world scenarios, emphasizing the importance of situational awareness, cover, and verbal de-escalation. Instructor Chris Cerino, a high-authority figure, guides participants through mistakes made in high-stress situations and provides actionable training to improve performance. The content highlights the necessity of practical, stress-inoculated training beyond basic concealed carry.

This guide details the operation and shooting of the North American Arms (NAA) Ranger II mini revolver, focusing on its unique break-top design. Expert Ryan Gresham highlights the ease of loading/unloading and its historical appeal, while demonstrating effective shooting techniques for this compact firearm. The Ranger II is presented as a capable option for concealed carry and range enjoyment.
