I don't understand what that video was reviewing. If you start that far below Hodgy's _starting_ loads in a gas gun, OF COURSE it isn't going to run right.

I have to agree with MZ5, what was that supposed to be? I can appreciate anyones attempt to review anything with guns, reloading and etc but you need to stay within manufacturers recommendations and none of yours does. Alliant doesn't recommend your load 24.5 grs RL-15 in the 55 gr bullet weight, they don't recommend it at all with any 55 gr bullet. Because it is listed for use in heavier bullets, I'm assuming that the powder needs more compression/resistance to light it up. Then you use a load with another burn rate powder but of the same load weight. Makes a viewer wonder if you have a clue how to reload at all. A newby reloader should already know that if you change powder, the data changes. If you want to publish reviews I think you need to be smarter than the audience you're playing to. This was not a good one.
