What year was this video?

Kevin,

Before "video" there was film...reel to reel which had a lightbulb in a machine we called a projector. It cast the image on a folding or roll up screen. The biggest nerds were all AV (audio-visual) experts. They came to the rescue of every audience member when the projector started clacking, the film went off rails, the bulb went out, the timing went off and the sound didn't match the action. Reel studs they were. They took abuse but were true heros. Except when the film was some boring educational thing...and they fixed it...which made no one but nerds and teachers happy.

History lesson complete, you can thank us old farts later. ;)

Haha! Oh yeah! My sister was a curator at the George Eastman house. She restored old films from the early 30s and 40s just when sound started to come to film. She would play them for nursing homes that would take field trips to the theater. I actually bought an old projector a couple years ago to play some old films my father had in his attic, but never attempted to play them.

I just meant the definition of a video is moving images. So technically it's still a video.

Was Hornady the premiere bullet maker in the late 60s?

At the 45 second mark he opens the bolt and there is not case. I think there was some trickery or editing done here. Haha

I see...you led me down a path you did! :D

I do not think Hornady was a premier maker...that was still a boutique thing. Sierra had the reputation as the best bullet maker...at least to my recollection.

Maybe he was shooting early caseless ammo!
 
I do believe with some digging, Hornady had archives anyone could
access, and should show the dates......Yeah sadly, him and some working
colleagues were killed in a plane crash headed to a Shot Show.....
