Okay, this may not be the most ground-shaking, trapping innovation, but I’d say it’s worth a look – even if just for fun. A while ago a video was posted to this channel, testing bullet penetration on some frozen turkeys I had using a Ruger No. 1 chambered for .45-120 (link below). The plan was […]
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 […]
This video demonstrates proper technique when it comes to handling recoil. Featuring a unique, high-powered rifle chambered for the old, buffalo-hunting era .45-120 cartridge (think “Quigley Down Under”), a woman uses the recommended military stance. The rifle used in this demonstration is a Ruger No. 1, custom-chambered for the aforesaid cartridge, firing a 535 grain […]
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.
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 […]
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.
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.
Shooting is fun. Shooting steel gongs is fun. Shooting steel gongs with a Ruger No. 1 custom chambered for the old, buffalo-era .45-120 cartridge (think Quigley Down Under) is even funner! In an effort to compare hitting power, I take two Ruger No. 1 rifles – one chambered for the .45-120 cartridge hurling a 535 […]
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 […]
Does brass make that big a difference? YES, and I’ll show you the results. The Social RegressiveThe Social Regressive is a collection of outdoor adventures, gun tests, and gear reviews by a handful of Oklahoma boys.

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.
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 […]
Men often ask, “What is the best caliber to get my wife for hunting?” In the opinion of this channel, you can’t do much better than a .243 Winchester. It provides mild recoil, flat-shooting and surprising effectiveness due to its velocity. For anyone wishing to get a sense of how it handles and how much […]
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 […]
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.
Hello and welcome to The Reloaders Network. First thing, a HUGE THANKS to Loads of Bacon for all his hard work setting up this community. This is going to be big, I have no doubt. So recently I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog, or some kind of weekly post and […]
