Videos tagged with Powder Charge

This video emphasizes the crucial distinction between grains and grams when measuring powder charges for muzzleloaders. The presenter clearly states the importance of using grains for accurate and safe loading, warning viewers against using grams. The description also directs viewers to the creator's websites and affiliate pages for further engagement.

This YouTube Shorts video discusses a firearm incident where proper powder progression, gun maintenance (specifically closing times), and bullet diameters can mitigate severe consequences, potentially limiting them to "technical" issues. The owner plans to send the pistol back to the factory for frame replacement, citing sentimental value. The description strongly emphasizes the importance of absolute caution when handling firearms.

This video appears to be a basic test of "Sokol" gunpowder, with 0.25 grams being served. The title suggests a focus on the gunpowder itself, with related terms like "gun", "ammo", and "bullet" indicating its application within the firearms context. "Hunting" and "hunter" suggest a potential use case for the tested gunpowder, and "shotgun" and "shootingrange" imply the environment where such tests might occur. The "wow" in the title suggests an element of surprise or interest in the results of the test.

This video focuses on gunpowder, specifically Nobel Sport Vectan 206 S, with a serving of 0.25 grams. The title and description indicate a demonstration or test of this gunpowder, likely in relation to its use in ammunition. Related tags suggest potential applications in hunting, shooting, and general firearm enthusiasm.

This is the second part of a "Reloading 101" course, focusing on creating consistent and precise ammunition, particularly for long-range shooting. The video covers essential reloading steps, including using a mandrel die, handling small rifle primers, priming brass, organization tips, powder throwing techniques, seating depth, overall length measurements, using a Datum Dial Kit, understanding bullet jump, determining powder charge weight, performing OCW tests (though questioned), and seating bullets. It's presented as a "how-to" guide for beginners in reloading.

This episode of Gun Talk Radio features Aaron Oelger from Hodgdon Powder discussing their new StaBALL 6.5 gunpowder, specifically designed for the popular 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. Tom Gresham and Jason Cloessner of Lipsey's Guns also participate in the discussion, with Cloessner mentioning his recent acquisition of the powder. The conversation touches on the current resurgence of reloading and factors influencing gunpowder demand. The video is presented by Gun Talk and provides information relevant to reloaders and 6.5 Creedmoor enthusiasts.

This video delves into the significant issues plaguing the Colt Model 1847 Walker, a highly valuable US military handgun. Despite its collector's value, the Walker was prone to exploding due to a combination of factors including the use of flawed wrought iron, excessively large powder chambers (50-60 grains) with a small safety margin, inconsistent powder composition in the 1840s, and a loading issue with the conical "Pickett" bullet that could inadvertently increase powder volume. The description highlights that a substantial percentage of these pistols were returned from the Mexican-American War damaged or unserviceable, with many suffering from burst barrels, cylinders, or broken arbors.

This video from Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem addresses a crucial aspect of handloading: the difference between "weighing" and "throwing" powder charges. Ostrem explains that for non-precision ammunition, a calibrated powder measure (throwing) is sufficient, provided it's checked for accuracy periodically. However, for high-pressure loads, precision shooting like long-range target practice, or when absolute round-to-round consistency is paramount, meticulously weighing each individual powder charge is essential for safety and performance. The video highlights specific scenarios where each method is appropriate, using examples like practice .38 Special wadcutters versus maximum loads for .300 Rem Ultra Mag.

This YouTube video from Deuce and Guns provides a visual demonstration of the typical amount of gunpowder loaded behind the bullet in a factory-produced cartridge. While the specific firearm or caliber isn't explicitly stated, the focus is on the internal ballistics and propellant charge of common ammunition. The video aims to educate viewers on a fundamental aspect of cartridge construction and encourages engagement through likes and subscriptions for weekly content.
