This is just a fun video where we use two Ruger No. 1 rifles – one chambered in .243, the other in .45-120 – to explode some Tannerite. The video shows how the Tannerite is mixed and prepared, as well as showing how it detonates. 1/2 pound charges were used. Tannerite is supposed to require […]

Does your choice of bullet/cartridge affect how well it resists deflection when shot through thick bush? This is a question on many hunters’ minds, as they are faced with choosing whether or not to shoot at an animal that is partly concealed. Not only that but – even for targets that seems unobstructed – your […]

It’s a mess here, but it’s a good mess. Lately I’ve been testing rifles, scopes, and ammo, and here’s a sneak peek. 1. The Savage 12FV Telekinesis rifle with its new 26″ .243 Winchester barrel from Preferred Barrel Blanks needed a little work. I cleared away material around the barrel and free-floated the tang, then […]

This video examines a frustrating jamming problem rifles with top-loading magazines are prone to and how to avoid it. The rifle used in this example is a Winchester Model 670 chambered for .243. The Way to Native ChroniclesYou could say I’m a Christian of Calvinist bent, and not a crowd-follower.

This video shows the results of testing 3 rifles, to determine their penetration capabilities. Looks like the single-shot “buffalo rifle” distinguishes itself! The Way to Native ChroniclesYou could say I’m a Christian of Calvinist bent, and not a crowd-follower.

Doing a little long range at Dead Zero in Spencer, TN. A Huge THANK YOU to Tread for sharing what he recorded with me.

Trying out the Electronic Targets at Dead Zero in Spencer TN.

I was getting some amazing results, using H4895 and the bullets seated long to be within 0.060" of the lands. This rifle seems to like this, and I can't go any longer, due to magazine length.

Check out the new Boyd's At-One Thumbhole stock. We were lucky enough to get out hands on this for the Remington SA~! We chambered this in a 243 and will be working on some loads in the very near future.

Welcome back everyone! Boyd’s reached out to me a few months back and asked if I’d be willing to do a build featuring the new At-One Thumbhole design. Turns out I had a customer’s rifle that could benefit from a nice new stock, so now we’re in business. Over the next month we’ll be working […]

They say you get what you pay for and that is certainly true when it comes to firearms, but sometimes you come across somethings that break the norm. This time we review the concept of the value, budget or economy rifle. Call it what you will, these rifles will get the job done. Whether it’s […]

Recently I received some Barnes bullets from Preacher's Day Off and it is time to load them up. We are using our once fired Starline Brass that was recently used in the Fort Scott Munition videos. Going through all the steps to load this ammo. Due to some recent rainfall we won't be able to shoot these rounds today.

Today, we are stretching out the Fort Scott Solid Copper rounds to longer distances. Starting at 200yds and going on out to 500yds, with 5 rounds each. This is loaded with 44g of H4350 at 3250fps in Starline Brass.

First look at the newly released 243 80g solid copper projectiles from Fort Scott Munitions. These rounds are designed to tumble upon impact. They make rounds for most pistol and rifle calibers. They also have loaded ammunition if you don’t reload. In this video I will take a few test loads out, and see how […]

Today we see how the Gamechanger penetrates and expands in wet compressed magazines. The bottom line, these are some great rounds. They have met or exceeded every test I have put them through.

Going Long Range Today. 90g Sierra Gamechanger loaded with H4350 in Starline Brass. Velocity is 3110fps.

Part 3 today. I loaded up several rounds with the 43g charge of H4350 in our Starline Brass. Trying them out at 200-500 Yards. 243 OutdoorsMy name is Josh and I love Firearms and Freedom.  I started 243 Outdoors as a YouTube Channel back in 2015 and have branched out to other media sites.

Part 2 of our series on the 90g Sierra Gamechanger’s featuring Starline Brass. In this video, I will take our rounds out to the range and see how they do. I did experience a loose bipod mount during the first time out. I took a few more rounds out, and believe I have figured out […]
