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 👋
Thank you.
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.
That stock was made by my teammate David Brooks.
Nice stock,looks like a good all-round package.
❤ This is going to be a great series. Looking forward to seeing the progress I know is coming.
Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
This is going to be a fun series!!
Looking forward to this series because I’d be happy as a pig in slop with where you are starting on this one so it’ll be interesting to see where it ends up and how.
Thank you
This is cool to see!
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 😅
That’s cool your doing that for him.
Get I wish I could join you but I am a old man trying to live on my S.S. now.
Your videos are great all ways thanks .
God bless you
Great idea
Good watch
Thanks
You know he makes it look easy, but what you may or not know is this guy is one of the top 10 shooters in the world, and the best on any given day
I am very interested in this. For sure, I look forward to see what u do about that heavy bolt lift also.
Coming soon!
This is unbelievable,,, I have thought about this same thing ,,,very very close to what the plan is. My main thing was what could I be doing better at reloading an how good is just a savage elite percision ( have I used its capability)
This series is going to be soooo awesome 😊😊
Thank you
Very nice rifle.
I have no doubt, you will get that rifle, dialed in, considerably tighter than that.
This is gonna be interesting!!!
I think it will be. Thanks.
Your thoughts on semi automatic rifles? What can a shooter expect from them applying these techniques? You willing to experiment with them? Like a Browning BAR? Lots of hunters interested! Appreciate all your content.
Love it
Man that's a Stacked Deck! LOL
Straight Shot Gunsmithing? I have a 7mm rem mag from Nathan. It shoots!!!
👍👍👍 wish I had $ to join your channel and several others. Oh well!!!!
Maybe one day!
I am just getting into long range shooting……what system/app are you using for your target impacts?
You should get Overton Windex out since he's an incredible shooter. And I mean incredible in the most literal sense of the word.
Free rifle tuning by Eric Cortina! I'll send a fee rifles down asap 😀
Are you even a member bro? 😜
Hi Erik,
Could you please share the engraver brand/model you use to engrave your cases?
I cannot find a reasonable price engraver for that application.
Thanks.
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.
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.
It would be cool to see you take something like a River American Predator and work your magic on it to get good groups at 1000.
We did it with Remington SPS.
@@ErikCortina Link?
Go to my channel and look up 6.5 NeedsMore series.
Do you know who made the stock? It is stunning!
David Brooks in TX. He has quick turn-around. I found out about him from a prize table from I think it was Bayou.
Do you have a way to contact him?
Most if not all of the brass sure has clickers, bang that bolt open.
Awesome idea and great contribution to the sport
Just hope that we can see start to finish unlike the needmore series
LOL, always gotta complain about something.
Was the barrel truely clean when you started?
Yes.
Nice 🤠✌️
Thanks
How far were you shooting this target?
1,000 yards.
Ask him where he got that stock?
I keep wondering why Eric is wearing two caps and then keep realising I'm an idiot haha
If you take your scope off before you ship a rifle, how long does it take to get it perfect once you reach your destination?
They go back on and are perfect always in my experience. I always double check anyway.
Hit the "LIKE" button fellow shooters.
Thank you
Nice rifle loads are a little too hot
How can you tell they are hot?
@@ErikCortina bolt lift
Could also be various things with the brass.
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.
Clickerzzzzzzz
Yeah…
and too much pressure...the ragged edge is where the fliers live.
@@MMBRMIn short range Brenchrest, would that still be true?
@@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.
@@MMBRM that was a good explanation.
Iv got a load in 6bra that shoots good in a .3 grain charge window. You touched on a few good points. Making me think I may need to record the temp. When I log my groups that shoot good and see If I can spot a correlation
Nice stock... whose is it?
