Reloading at Gunsite and NRAAM 2022 | Gun Talk LIVE

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 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 from GUNBROS features an experienced speaker who argues that reloading ammunition is generally not cost-effective for most shooters, especially for common calibers like 9mm and .223 FMJ used for range shooting. He explains that mass production by companies like PMC, Magtech, and S&B offers unbeatable prices due to economies of scale. Reloading is presented as a viable option only for specialized needs such as wildcat cartridges or custom hunting rounds where precision and unique specifications are paramount.

This video from InRangeTV explains why the 44-40 cartridge is generally not recommended for modern firearms enthusiasts, despite its historical significance. The instructor, with apparent expertise in firearms, details the practical disadvantages of 44-40, including ammunition scarcity and reloading difficulties, compared to more accessible modern alternatives like 357 Magnum/38 Special or 45 Colt. The core argument centers on the 44-40's historical advantage in sealing black powder fouling due to its stepped case design, a benefit largely negated by modern ammunition and firearm designs.

This video demonstrates the process of testing a handloaded 10mm cartridge featuring a 165gr Sig V-Crown JHP bullet and 9.0 grains of Hodgdon Longshot powder. An experienced handloader uses a Caldwell chronograph to measure velocities and calculate muzzle energy from two different barrel lengths (3.78" Glock 29 and 5" 1911), providing objective ballistic data.

This video features competitive shooter Lena Miculek attempting various internet-famous shooting challenges. She demonstrates techniques for drills like the 'Fast Drill' and 'Bill Drill,' emphasizing accuracy and speed. The content highlights the difficulty of these challenges, even for experienced shooters, and showcases different firearm types from competition pistols to pocket-sized concealed carry options.

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.
