"Just that simple"...... just $20k worth of reloading equipment. Right now my primer inventory is worth more than my reloading equipment. (I'm going to take my rifles out of my safe and lock up my primers.) The video was greatly enjoyed. Thank you both.
Doesnt clean his brass!! Mind blown!! I have successfully developed loads for multiple rifles following Eric Cortina’s methods. 0.25 moa or better after i followed his process.. but i never knew he doesnt clean his brass!!
Eric has most of it automated but not streamlined. Instead of walking from one side of the shop to the other, start on the left with your trimmer, the anneal it, finish your brass prep, then move to your progressive on the right.
So Erik Cortina does not clean his brass , well in my opinion I think it’s a very bad idea . I would never stick dirty brass into my AMP annealer . I guarantee you after inserting hundreds of brass into you expensive amp annealer , eventually particulates , dirt and grime will accumulate into that machine .great video by the way .
Yall may want to check out, hill country firearms. A Texas company too. They’re hitting bullseye at 4500 yards. I believe that far exceeds any f-class.
We’re aware…unfortunately when they “walk in” their rounds with multiple people downrange giving them wind calls by radio, and it still takes them 30-40 shots to get an impact, I don’t really call that skill.
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork from what I understand, folks are even taking 22lr rounds and using 6.5 creed more brass. Hitting bullseye 1000 to 1500. That’s got me thinking of some crazy “special” rounds. Something like, .416 brass with .408 round. Both even original form, are amazing on there own. Barret has said it toke them a few years to play around with different powders to make .416. .408 Cheytec is something nice to. Bland them together. I like thinking out of the box.
Let me try to use Erik’s words, and he can correct me if I’m wrong. Which would you trust more Gravity or man-made electronics? With digital scales, no matter what price point, you are trusting the electronics to be calibrated precisely. You don’t have to question whether Gravity is correct or not.
Your basic reloading will do fine, prepping your brass for your rifles chamber, finding a good powder node, and seating your bullet for your rifles liking is all you really need
@@ErikCortina Thank You Sir! I kind of figured that it was a wildcat type. I have thought about having a.284 Winchester. I still am planning to build a 6.5 47 Lapua as I asked you about earlier this year.
@@cristtrevino7190 exactly same here. There’s two vids on this channel where we tested the difference in powder throwers. You might be interested. Couple years ago, you’ll have to scroll back a ways.
The Prometheus is one of the most over priced tools out there for loading. When the auto trckeler will do the same faster for less then a qtr of the price I don't see why they mess with that thing.
Yeah the Prometheus is crazy expensive! He's got an A&D electronic scale on his bench too. I'd think that would be just as accurate, maybe more, as the Prometheus. I'd like to see Gavin do a thorough test between those and see the differences in accuracy.
Precision = tiny groups in a controlled environment. Accuracy = any shot that significantly effects the target’s ability to keep fighting. From what I’ve seen, PRS/NRL competitors can do both pretty well. I’ll take practical/tactical any day.
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork How do you recognize a PRS shooter's car ? That's the one in which the seats are missing (driving outside your comfort zone 😂) IMPAAACT !!!🤣🤣🤣
Just an FYI for more likes. 1. Get right to the subject that you put in the title. 2. Lose the screaming music at the start, in fact, lose the intro entirely. We know who you are 3. Hold the camera STEADY so viewers don't get nauseous, perhaps a gimbal? 4. Fix your audio. Did I say get right to the subject? I am writing this at 5:39 into your video and still not to the subject. If you want to get more likes and subscribers, look at videos from the Lock Picking Lawyer to see how, or watch Paul at AVweb. Just my take.
Thanks for stopping by Joel.
Absolutely! Thanks for your generosity and the knowledge bombs.

@Erik Cortina
“Here’s a graph made by my seating die”
“That’s as simple as it gets”
😂😂😂 I love it dude what an awesome setup
I knew where you were as soon as I saw the blue floor, great video
Not just any reloading room. A top-tier professional's reloading room. The equivalent to a high level F1 team.
the best video of Erik Cortina on youtube.
Eric is very down to earth. Especially being so successful in his craft. Wish he was my neighbor.
Yeah he knows some stuff. 😉
Followed Erik's guidance and liked, and subscribed. :)
Sweet!
Great stuff Joe that blue floor is a dead give away , who else would have a blue floor but Erik Lol, Steve from Australia .
I know that shop in the thumbnail! This will be good.

Absolute Gentleman Erik
1000 likes are done. That’s a F-Class shooting session.
Very interesting and nice reloading shop!👍
I did stop the video, log in and hit like which i normally wouldn't do. It's a good vid for real, i do appreciate this
very much appreciated

The man definitely has all the high end gear. Too pricey for me.
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork well yeh....but align it in shop appropriately
Test results are what matter. Test, test, test and more tests. That's why Erik enjoys the success that he does👍👍Great video
I sent a like for you all the from Sweden. Almost Lapua-Land.
Nice! Thanks.
DANG! thats some futuristic 2070 looking stuff right there.
Great video Joel!
Thanks Joel!
you bet!
Awesome video Joel 👍Thank you Erik!🤘
Wow what a set up some hours refining it .
God of reloading!!!!
He knows a thing or two.
Well done Joel I have to admit I might be a little jealous of you LOL LOL LOL you did a good job sir
You killing me eric
Comment cause I love your work
Hey Erik, what do you do when the power goes out...........lol
We like to support with likes👍
Dang. And cleaning bass always "took" the longest

I wet tumble my brass after I’m done handloading so I have clean brass and bullets so I don’t have to clean my gun. Pro tip of the day😂
Can you try and do a review on crimson trace brushline pro 6-24x50 sfp new scope on the mark and we the people trust you to do a great review on it
I appreciate the vote of confidence. I don’t have any contacts with them, but if I come across one I’ll see what I can do.

Has Lapua solved the availability issue for the various .284 chamberings. Do F-class shooters use Winchester brass?
Good video, hope to see you shoot F class!
I would like to try it!
Why cant I like this video about 834 more times??
I know where your at mr cortina fn badass
You're bullet seater allows you to capture the time pressure curve?
Amazing how microprocessor sensors let us see, well, almost everything.
crazy right? Erik is definitely pulling out all the extra stops to make sure he loads the closest to perfect ammo that he can.
Who doesn't like Eric!
👍
Interesting. At no point was the brass cleaned. Can't argue with success.
Gotta get those likes up to shoot!
Slow evap carburetor cleaner cuts carbon like there is no tomorrow. Plastic safe too!
Do you think beam scale are more consistent then digital scales ⚖️. If speed.

Amén 🙏 to that. Thank you for taking the time to answer.
Looks like you're going F-Class shooting buddy!
OH YEAH!!
Joel, when do we see your reloading cave?
I suppose I could make that video…I’ll try to make that happen.
Liked
I dont understand what he says with the carbon cleaner. What is he using?
you are over loading my brain it was simpler not knowing what i didnt know
haha my thoughts exactly.
I just want to know if you got to shoot Erik's rifle @ 1000yds?
Yep sure did. 👍
`Cool showcase of equipment but not too much in terms of learning about reloading....as the title suggested
Thumbs up!
Have you noticed a difference in accuracy useing a different brand of primers.
Yes. :)

What dies are you using on your Dillon?
Small primer brass for the 6mm and 6.5mm?? Or large primer??
These were small I think.
nice I hope you get a 1k likes
Thanks me too
What kind of brass life without cleaning them?
The primer joke is no joke......
Who makes the primer seater? What cartridge was loaded? Thank you!
Primal rights primer seater. 284 Winchester.

Dual scope rings?
Huh?
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork he’s bench gun had 3 rings never seen that before
@@timothyward7381 OH! I never noticed that either. lol hmm. I'm going to have to ask him about that.
Did Erik ever let you take his rifle to a match?
@@thepracticalrifleman The deal was just to let me shoot it. We did that.
So Erik doesn’t clean lube off?
He's not getting any inside
that Prometheus is ONLY $5,000. (Pocket change)
Yep. I honestly don’t understand why they need to cost that much. The technology is cool, and no other machine is like it, but dang.
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork you think it is worth the 5k ?
@@cristtrevino7190 no, personally I don’t, but then I’m not a world champion shooter either.
@@PrecisionRifleNetwork I am a prs shooter and DONT need that of a precise ,scale . Like Erik does. By the way we shoot 6gt as well

6gt LOL
Nice Gay Tiger joke. Vdieo title should be watch Erik turn a few machines on.
I hope you have money. no free bees here.
Agree. Some of that gear is very expensive. Comes down to your personal goals for competition, and also calculating what your personal time is worth.
