Speedy is frickin hilarious man.... "If you're going to put yourself out there, you better have a thick rind" "I sold all those other barrels to the Prarie dog guys, they loved it" "That's when you pulled out the rosary beads..." In all seriousness, cool interrogation. I always learn from these, sometimes confirm what I learned myself, but this was especially enjoyable.
This is by far my favorite interview. The closeness and able to joke because of speedy is great. You have so much info that I was wondering about. It was obvious that speedy twisted your arm to give up what you worked so hard to obtained. Erik you gained so much respect from this video. I wish the guy who is the wild catter gave up even 1/4 of what you did. I watch Hornady and vortex and have gained a lot of info, buy by far this was the best. Thank You
This was a great video. It is a privilege to listen to the wisdom of two minds this high of caliber speak to one another and pass the knowledge down. Thanks and hope you and your family’s have a happy new year.
What a joy to see so much of you two guys. I’ve known about Speedy from early 90s when a newfound buddy told me about a wildcat pistol he had, and I understood what he was saying. He gave me his collection of precision shooting magazines that was around two feet high, which I devoured cover to cover to gain the latest in development of benchrest. Life, commitments and jobs took over…..25+ years later and more time to research I stumbled upon EC and they are hammering 284s at a thousand yards! This video is like meeting old friends even though I have never shaken hands with either. Would be proud to if given the opportunity though. Wonderful episode from two world class shooters giving proven technical knowledge away freely. Class act here.
Congratulations Erik on a fine win at SWN!! I haven't watched all three hours yet hopefully this weekend. Speedy's a riot! Ya gotta keep him right up on the mic for us deaf guys!
Ya, I have to use a volume booster app with Erik's podcast (most podcasts actually), especially when I'm listening while running next to the main road, or in the shower: listeners can always turn the volume down, but my phone only let's me go up so high. As long as you don't come in full blast, give the listener a couple seconds to adjust the volume, it's fine to favor the high side.
Sooo much valuable information, thanks guys. Mic audio was good, but louder is better than quieter. Your audience, made up of mostly old deaf guys, can always turn their sound down if it's too loud. It must be very hard making dies without knowing what chamber and brass guys are using. Looking forward to more nuggets of knowledge from Speedy.
This was amazing !!!! Plus I just love listening to Speedy he just cracks me up ! I love he was basically getting you to let some of his tricks outta bag.
Erik Cortina, I used your EC Tuner Brake in GA.It worked great.The weather was about 85 in TX wjen we left.In GA the next 3 days in was below 30 degrees,After shooting a string the camera man stopped and said , Mr. ORR you had about 2 to 2.5 inch group at 1803 yards. My load changed alot..It went from 2810 down to 2855. I turned the tuner brake to get my zero back .Thats proof it really works in more ways.Thank You ERIK Cortina
Congratulations Eric! I have learned so much from you and Speedy. I love my EC tuner brakes I have an order in for my 3rd tuner brake. Just listening to you I have developed my own reloading technique where I can get to a great load very quickly. Thank you so much!!
I watched this all the way through guys! Very informative but it missed one point ! Not everyone has ability or money to get to the levels you guys go to. Competition for me is fun but not always ability to win. You guys are lucky with the freedom with firearms you have. There is no way you could do the things you do in the Uk. But it was an excellent watch and please don’t forget your f class friends in the Uk . Pat
Love the way you give 99.9% of the information needed to build a competitive rifle. The two of you are doing so much for the cumunity. Thanks for all the info.
It is great that you can give away so much information to your competitors and have the confidence in your abilities to do that. It shows that it is really how you apply that information and skill that counts.
"I'll bring the corelok's over there" that cracked me up...shooting is a serious mental game that most ppl wont and dont understand...my enemy is getting mad...need to find my cortina cool as a cucumber mind set lol
Eric I get the load development goal of low ES & SD! But I'm finding that seating depth impacts those numbers. Do you re-do the powder load ladder for each potential seating depth?? A little procedure reveal would help -- Thanks Tom
Eric, can you recommend a decent Chrono for someone just starting off load development? I cant afford lab Radar. Would be very nice to be able to read from a smartphone as well. Your thoughts. Thanks brother Eric.
I don’t think you are saying enough about the tuners. If you sell the tuners, you should explain in detail on how to get the most advantage out of the tuner.
For an old 73 yr. old guy that is just getting started in long range, I appreciate any information. I am on a very limited budget, so Any information that will help me cut the corner is awesome. I have purchased a Savage 6.5 Mdl. 10 hvy barrel that I intend to put in a MDT Oryx chassis. I will buy a tuner as money allows. I am not set up to reload, so I will have to rely on a factory load. Sure do appreciate these shows.
I would support Speedy doing a podcast, he has what it takes to do well at it. If youlisten to enough of Erik's podcasts, he gives away all his secrets anyway, just does it bit by bit, a word here, a sentence there, prhaps sometimes without even realizing it.
Hello Eric, I know my new Model 70 .270 Feather-Weight is no match rifle. BUT IF it had a threaded muzzle, could a tuner potentially increase its accuracy? Or are your tuners only for super long match barrels that are threaded, “Not hunting 22” barreled rifles?” Thanks
Hi Speedy and Eric. Great to hear the interview. Eric, I am Speedy's newest (and he says the BEST by far :) student. You guys are both class acts. I am a bit long in the tooth to ever compete with you two, but it is fun to see what you both have accomplished. Best in the future...
Hey guyz congrats on all your achievements including this live broadcast!!! I was wondering how loose or tight should i have my neck diameter reamed? Im trying to figure out if a tighter neck diameter would straighten out my bullets which may be seater slightly crooked.. i shoot 223 and notice the spec for my chamber is 0.254”. If i go with a 0.251” what issues may I encounter? Reloading issues? Chambering issues? Would like your input? Please?? Most of my loaded brass measures 0.248 - 0.250”. So it should work right?
On the primer I found the same. I used a lee hand primer and wasn't getting them to the bottom and didnt know it.. Believe it or not I got the lee bench primer and I now have them seated all the way. If u can't see the 3 spots where the anvil makes contact with the bottom of the primer cup in the carbon after u de prime you are not getting the primer seated all the way.
Why not have a tuner that works with a suppressor? for example, my OSS (now HUXWRX) screws onto an OSS muzzle brake. I would really like to use the EC tuner while using my suppressor (esp. when hunting long-range 6.5PRC)
wasn’t sure what die to buy. Now I know i just need to wait until yours is released. Make them the way you think they should be. I want to learn a proven way before expirimenting.
I know this is a year old post, but let's talk 284. Say your load shoots good a 2800 fps 180 hybrids. close to pressure but not over pressure at 2000-3000 ft above sea level at 45 deg. F. The temp is going to go up during the day and by noon it's gonna be 80 deg. F. Even with temp stable powder your velocity is going to go up. Why not pre-load with a 1/2 grain in powder to off set the increase in temp as the morning warms up. Example: first string preloaded at 50.5 H4350, second string 50g H4350 and third string at 49.5g 4350. This would keep you in "tune" and consistent at 2800 fps as the day warms up... This is similar to what benchrest shooters do, they know humidity and temp changes that affect the powder they use. They adjust on the fly but it seems like you could do the same, just preload for it since we don't have time to reload between strings. As long as you can forecast the weather you can pre determine your loads.
🙏 sensei questioning sensei 🙏 This video will still be valuable and worthwhile 10 years from now. The TRUE definition of a professional is that success of the profession is more important to them than the success of any individual professional (including themselves). 🙏
Already watching this again. Thank you both!
Speedy is frickin hilarious man....
"If you're going to put yourself out there, you better have a thick rind"
"I sold all those other barrels to the Prarie dog guys, they loved it"
"That's when you pulled out the rosary beads..."
In all seriousness, cool interrogation. I always learn from these, sometimes confirm what I learned myself, but this was especially enjoyable.
Bryan, did you actually win something from the number posted to text him?
@@davidsalsedo8389 not sure that I ever received that. Just a like to my comment I think. If I did, I didn't call the number or anything
@@davidsalsedo8389
Sounds like a standard scam post to me. Most channels have them at the moment
He's absolutely awesome for sure!!
This is by far my favorite interview. The closeness and able to joke because of speedy is great.

Thank You
These interviews are great. So much useful info for lots of people.
this is my favorite of your interviews so far! Thank you!
Congrats Erik. The more you give the more you get. And you’ve given a lot.
This was a great video. It is a privilege to listen to the wisdom of two minds this high of caliber speak to one another and pass the knowledge down. Thanks and hope you and your family’s have a happy new year.
Great interrogation Speedy! Lots of good nuggets in here. Thanks to both of you for sharing your time and knowledge.

Outstanding talk guys a lot to take in will be watching it more. Very Impressed.😊
First congratulations on your big win. Big thank you to both of you for this video. Keep up the good work guys.
Always look forward to the videos, loaded with information. Have your tunner brake on my rifle and love it. Keep the videos coming!
This was outstanding, enjoyed every minute 😊
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing info! Thank you speedy, Erik
This was amazing !!!! Plus I just love listening to Speedy he just cracks me up ! I love he was basically getting you to let some of his tricks outta bag.

What an awesome interview so many little nuggets well done at SWN and thanks for the interview Erik and Speedy.
Really Nice ! Congrats Eric and Speedy, Your both great champions and purveyors of the sport.
Thank you for doing these interviews. I have learned so much from you. I reload for hunting only, but accuracy is number one for me.
I learned a tremendous amount from this interview. Thank you, both.
Congratulations on your win Eric. This was a great interview
Love the way you give 99.9% of the information needed to build a competitive rifle. The two of you are doing so much for the cumunity. Thanks for all the info.
Thank you Erik and Speedy! Even for a person that’s not competing the information you guys provide is so valuable.
Great interview, looking forward to more collaboration between the two of you.
Love the video so much information to process
What a pleasant evening guys! Thanks so much for the content. But since I’m a greedy bastard, you need to make the next one longer!
It is great that you can give away so much information to your competitors and have the confidence in your abilities to do that. It shows that it is really how you apply that information and skill that counts.
Thank you both for the very informative video. Well done and I learned a lot. Best wishes for the Worlds.
Good discussion, thank you. Listened to this while I was reloading some "practice " ammo
Beautiful stuff guys! Loved every minute of this :)
"I'll bring the corelok's over there" that cracked me up...shooting is a serious mental game that most ppl wont and dont understand...my enemy is getting mad...need to find my cortina cool as a cucumber mind set lol
Exceptional discussion gentlemen! Good ES/SD was mentioned throughout the segment....so what does good look like numerically? Thanks
I'm so glad this happened great video that was the most information I've ever received in 3 hours
Great interview, informing and entertaining.
Thanks to both of you....................... Excellent !!
Absolutely excellent, learning a lot.
Great podcast huge amount of information
These videos are great. But they need to be in podcasts. So I can listen to them on the go or in the car
Best Interview so far.
Eric I get the load development goal of low ES & SD! But I'm finding that seating depth impacts those numbers. Do you re-do the powder load ladder for each potential seating depth?? A little procedure reveal would help -- Thanks Tom
Congratulations on your win 🏆it would be nice to see podcast with speedy and you just talking guns
Awesome interview! What made you go with kahles instead of nightforce or shmid n bender etc? Is it that they don't track well?
Watching this again and loving it...wish I could hit the like button again too. Sorry, Erik.
Great job Speedy! It’s good to see Erik in the hot seat.
I could watch for 3 more hours ! this was great !
I’m going to watch this live stream 7 more times! Boom! Mind blown 🤯
Eric, can you recommend a decent Chrono for someone just starting off load development? I cant afford lab Radar. Would be very nice to be able to read from a smartphone as well. Your thoughts. Thanks brother Eric.
Great Interview!
Thank you, amazing insight even for a seasoned shooter. 👍
Congrats Eric! Nice job!
Speedy, that is a fucking badass 'stache.
He's now watching every video to make sure you are telling the wrong secrets. ;)
Congratulations Dr Cortina!!
You couldn’t have done it without my 14$ a month!!
Cheers!
Great interview Guys.
Thank you! You guys gave me so much to think about. I am very grateful!
2:24:23 "If a gnat farts on your left side it should move to the right" haha
I don’t think you are saying enough about the tuners. If you sell the tuners, you should explain in detail on how to get the most advantage out of the tuner.
Favorite interview yet. Tons of nuggets.
Great info! Comical! Lefties are always right! I do appreciate you both for giving up the secrets thanks to Speedy 😂
Great interview
Great job Eric and Speedy

Love the interrogation. It all started with Speedy's impromptu interview. Look at this channel now.
Lots of great info from two great shooters
Exellent interview
These guys know so much it’s crazy.
I would support Speedy doing a podcast, he has what it takes to do well at it. If youlisten to enough of Erik's podcasts, he gives away all his secrets anyway, just does it bit by bit, a word here, a sentence there, prhaps sometimes without even realizing it.

did you ever try it
That was fantastic as usual
Hi Speedy and Eric. Great to hear the interview. Eric, I am Speedy's newest (and he says the BEST by far :) student. You guys are both class acts. I am a bit long in the tooth to ever compete with you two, but it is fun to see what you both have accomplished. Best in the future...
Epic video! Does Speedy have a fan club I can join?
watching for the second time and I really appreciate the wind tips
This was one of the best you have done yet. Now swap sides. We need speedy to do a tell all.
Congratulations Eric

I doubt it. Runout is a sizing die issue. Fix it there. A humble lee collet die makes perfect straight necks.
On the primer I found the same. I used a lee hand primer and wasn't getting them to the bottom and didnt know it.. Believe it or not I got the lee bench primer and I now have them seated all the way. If u can't see the 3 spots where the anvil makes contact with the bottom of the primer cup in the carbon after u de prime you are not getting the primer seated all the way.
Great show
When you get your PCP air rifle do the same to the hammer spring as you do to your firing pin spring.
Are these podcast available on Spotify or similar providers?
The best video ever!!!
Congratulations Sir!
That was a fast 3.5 hours. Speedy is pretty good at interviewing.
It sure did watched it a few times and pick up something new every time!
Erik will you be making Tuner for .338 also will you be considering tuner with 5 ports for big magnums?
Thank you both.
Why not have a tuner that works with a suppressor? for example, my OSS (now HUXWRX) screws onto an OSS muzzle brake. I would really like to use the EC tuner while using my suppressor (esp. when hunting long-range 6.5PRC)
Very impressive on so many levels
wasn’t sure what die to buy. Now I know i just need to wait until yours is released. Make them the way you think they should be. I want to learn a proven way before expirimenting.
