    I’ve watched a lot of your videos and found them to be very useful for me. This this video was just awesome! I hope their are more people who would be up for this challenge and send their rifles in for the comparison. Keep the videos rolling Erik. Watching from Espanola, NEW Mexico 👋

    Great idea for a series Erik! Would be fun too if you could do the same for a custom hunting rifle next, say a 7 PRC on a BAT action with a match grade barrel, at say 300 yards - to see how good you can get it.

    I only discovered you and this channel a few weeks ago and you are really showing me and the whole community the fundamentals and the amazing art of gunsmithing. Thank you for what you are doing and really showing me a side of competitive shooting that i haven't looked into as much as i should of. Also thank you for the motivation, as your videos are really starting to give me the itch to make my own ammo and look at ways of improving my rifle that i never even thought about. My wife won't be thankful when she see's the £££ leaving the account but she'll understand..... i think 😅

    Thanks.

  • @CJ-ty8sv
    @CJ-ty8sv 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Erik, it the windage just "off" or do you have it adjusted off for some reason? I say that because other than 1,2,3, and 17, it seems some of the 9's could have easily been 10ring and some of the 10's, easily X ring without pushing any of the 4 X rings out of the right side with a slight right adjustment.

    • @ErikCortina
      @ErikCortina  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I was testing to see how well it grouped. I didn't hold off for wind at all. The wind was pushing slightly from the right.

      @ErikCortina  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Bolt lift is an indicator of a hot load, but also it’s a Remington 700. They often don’t have the bolts timed properly so primary extraction doesn’t work as it’s supposed to. Also too heavy of a firing pin spring can do that.

    • @MMBRM
      @MMBRM 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@treece1 Well, I always hesitate making sweeping generalizations because every cartridge and every barrel/gun can be a bit different but yes, I find that near max you'll have a gun that will shoot tiny a lot of time but give you a head scratcher outside the group once and a while. Groups with 4 in a dot and one not touching for example. The smaller 6mm like 6PPC/6BR with lighter bullets tend to be more forgiving(not letting a gun get excessively fouled helps too). So take an F-TR/F-OPEN gun and because you might find a fast, accurate load near max pressure with the occasional heavier than normal bolt lift and decide that's fine. You go to a match and it's 20f warmer than when you tested giving the powder that little bit more energy. You're shooting faster and getting the barrel hotter than when you tested and you've fired more shots and built up a carbon ring in throat/lead that's raising pressure a bit too. These can combine to turn that seemingly accurate load into something erratic and unstable. In short range where you're switching the load on the fly and cleaning every 10-15 rounds you might get away with more. It's also possible that what we're seeing in the video(extremely heavy bolt lift) is purely caused by a bad match between sizing dies and chamber or some mechanical issue but what I said still applies.
