I did some reloading and shooting with my Model 29’s. I wanted to see how much difference in velocity there was between a 4 inch and a 8 inch barrel. After several tries, I was able to catch a 240 grain XTP bullet and did a little more shooting. My camera battery was fully charged […]

In this video I show you the MK Machining Gen III mount for the Magnetospeed chrony. With this mount I can attach the Magnetospeed to my rifle without touching the barrel. So barrel harmonics are not affected by the Magnetospeed anymore. WiederladerTvhttps://wiederlader.tv/

Just doing some shooting with my new AR build and my IO inc. AK. I get some velocity and accuracy data. KFWI enjoy all things outdoors and gun related. I am a life long hunter and staunch supporter of self defense and the right to keep and bear arms. I am a Concealed Carry Instructor […]

A little comparison of the Hornady Critical Defense round.

In this video, the Idahoan fires muzzleloader barrels of different lengths across a chronograph and compares the average velocity.

Shooting and Chronographing the Smith and Wesson 2.0 5" Barrel with Barnes Tac-XPD 115gr 9mm +P

In this episode, the Idahoan loads a muzzleloader alternately with three different grades of Pyrodex: RS, P, and "Select" and fires across a chronograph to see if there is a measurable difference in velocity and consistency between the different grades.

In this video, the Idahoan fires a variety of loads with varying muzzle velocity out of a muzzle loader to see if there is a correlation between velocity and accuracy.

In this episode, the Idahoan fires .22 rimfire ammunition across a chronograph to measure its velocity, using guns with a range of different barrel lengths, and then compares its effect on various targets.

Ever worry about shooting your chronograph while trying to measure the velocity of a bullet from a gun that may not be sighted in quite perfectly? This video presents one method of alleviating such concerns.

I was finally able to get to the range and gather some velocity data using Ramshot True Blue by Western Powders. The two bullets used were the Lee 356-124-2R and the NOE HTC-358-133-RN. The lighter Lee bullets seemed to prefer a lighter charge while the heavier bullet from NOE preferred a higher charge. This goes […]

I demonstrate a simple home-made ballistic pendulum. This is one method that was used to measure bullet velocity in the days before the invention of the electronic chronograph.

In this video, the Idahoan measures the velocity of a .44 magnum load when fired from several guns with different barrel lengths, and then shoots a variety of targets to demonstrate the practical significance of the velocity differences.
