I think alot of us can put ourselves in Remington's shoes, this type of content speaks to alot of people 👍
The look on Erik's face when Remi said he measures his lands... "He didn't just say that" 😂😂
Thats exactly what I was thinking 🤣
A .308 rifle & .384 ammo to the range. Man, he has to get it together? Lucky sniper has .308 ammo.
Denis, I thought he said that he is shooting .284?
😂😂😂😂 I watched the "chasing the lands is stupid" (for the 100th time) about 2 hours before watching this one and when he start talking about measuring the lands I just watched Eric's face and expressions🤣🤣🤣
Mr Cortina your channel has been incredible for my gathering of information. I’ll be shooting my first F open match in a few weeks. The information I’ve gained from you and your channel has been incredible. Thank you sir, I don’t have the right gear but one has to start somewhere. Thank you sir.
Helping and teaching other shooters. That says a lot about you Erik. Thanks for your videos. You’re helping a lot of us for sure.
This "before and after" interview is one of the most helpful interviews I've ever heard
Erik I love when you teach and express your knowledge. Keep bringing this kind of content.
I know this is 2 years too late, but the best teachers NEVER dismiss any idea out of hand. They ask the student to work through the thought process, and then offer an alternative way to look at it. Eric is a gem!
Remington you are a real card.....laughed so much. Well done man you are spot on.
Great idea to follow up with Remington!
Loved the end, you got a 308 we have ammo for that.
Hats off to you Erik for having this young man back and mentoring him. Great video. He sure seems to be a very cool dude
Awesome follow up video! He has such a positive attitude towards learning! Thanks again for imparting the wisdom and knowledge that you do.
Fun to see what your influences have done for this man and his journey. “ teach a man to fish”, awesome!
Great job Eric. 👍👍
I would love to see Remington make a comeback with quality Model 700 actions.
Ummm this video isn't anything to do with Remington Arms company....
Bawhahahaha
Lol I thought that was what the video was about
🤣🤣🤣
Where do you get a quality Model 700 Remington these days? …2nd hand shop?
Good stuff Erik. Thanks for sharing. Reloading and learning to do it well is very satisfying.
I’m just a go on the hills and shoot guy but the thing that you said were you shoot at a minimum The target size left or right just struck me and is so perfect!
Great info.... Thank you! I am fairly new to all this gun stuff. I never had anyone teach me when I was younger until someone got me in to hunting in '99. fell in love with hunting after. I never thought nothing about what goes along with guns or ammo. Just bought factory ammo and go hunting. And a few years ago I was forced to retired so I got more into guns and shooting. Started reloading shot shells for my shotgun. Learned a lot more about ammo and what goes into reloading your own ammo.... And a year ago I started reloading for my 9mm because what was going on. And I am trying to get equipment and supplies to start reload for my 308 and 30-06 hunting guns. I still trying to learn everything and trying to listen to all these pro shooters saying u need this, u need that, u need to do this and that, I am starting to learn that I don't need to follow what others doing because every gun is different so I need to find what my guns like or don't like... Thank you!
I’m in the same boat brother. Got cancer, now disabled, so I’m going to be figuring bout 308,30.06,6.5 precise loading and hand gun not so picky as for self defense and practice within 20’ good luck learning
Really entertaining video. Fantastic plot twist at the end.
And every damn one of us remembering back to when we looked at a reloading manual like it was written in a foreign language
Aren’t they?
Great video, Remington can be our Poster Boy. Win-Win. 👍👍👍👍👍❤👀😎
Feeling the Heavy .308 Love from Erik! LOL Retired Ole Spoon still hitting with the Heavy Barrel .308...
Men, I’m about to start reloading and shooting again at 61. I felt like I was privileged to be sitting there in person. As I have 2 ears, 1 mouth, I would just be listening, learning and enjoying being around great shooters. Thank you. I just heard you say work it backwards! Genius, I have to get rid of all stinking thinking.
Great to see a follow up, not often enough something like this happens.
.308 we got ammo for that says it all. Thanks for sharing
Priceless content
If you came to any bar in idaho you could find a minimum of 5 guys that killed 400” elk at 1300 yards with two heart shots across two canyons with a 6.5 creedmoor. Just don’t ask about pictures or videos but it happened!
I have the opposite problem: turns out the video exists.
Great video guys!!
Since he's so receptive to education, I'm going to give him the best lesson:
Bring the right gun!
It can happen to anyone and I've gone to the range with the right gun and the wrong ammo, you just need to extend that OCD from your reloads to your load out.
Don't try to reinvent the wheel, just figure out who makes the best wheels and how they make them.
A friend of mine was reloading by trial and error for years with poor results and I've been telling him about OCW ladders for a long time. He's finally starting to change his strategy.
I don't know why people can get a bad idea stuck so deep in their head that they won't consider alternatives. My friend can see benchrest and other match shooters having so much success but he would not look at the basic things they do different to get there...
I look at it this way: successful match shooters use what works and their methods are designed to figure out what works quickly so they aren't wasting components or barrel life trying to find something that works. That's what makes it worth copying in whole or at least in part.
With that said, as a metal fabricator, I think case prep is much more technique than tooling. A $30 die is probably going to be dimensionally almost as good from one to the next as a $150 die. If they are both designed to do the same thing, they will do the same thing. The trick is finding the die that's ground to do what your brass needs. An Area 419 press is really nice but a Rock Chucker or a Lee Classic Cast should get you to the same place if your technique is correct, you control your process well and start with consistent components.
When you get to benchrest accuracy, I'm sure every little thing matters but if you just want really good, there are only about 6-8 things you really need to control. If you get those 6-8 things right all the other details will be right or close enough.
Again, as a metal fabricator, I want to break up the process in to individual steps that I can control so that I'm forming each part of the case minimally and only once, in a way that I can measure and sort at several points in the process. This way inconsistency can be sorted out and errors can be tracked back to the previous step. When you cull bin stays empty and you ammo is shooting right, your process is right.
True dat! Sometimes people refuse to learn!
But I tell ya’ usually women are more open to ‘ suggestions’ then men!
I just started watching Eric's channel and what do I come across..a home town guy shooting with him (well was from Hobbs anyway) living over in Carlsbad. I just started getting back into shooting again and would like to get hooked up with Remington to get some knowledge because I've developed CRS (can't remember shit) and I need some help. Lol
Eric it was very cool of you to take a chance on Remington for his Christmas present and WOW look how he is turning out. Thank you for telling/showing us how your knowledge can put us on target in a context I can understand.
My first rifle was rem700
I hope there is a part 2 coming
Fucking love it. It was like he was telling my story. Hallelujah!!! Lmfao. The reloading bit verbatum! Keep up the good work Eric. I appreciate you and the Sniper. He's a great guy.
I’m pretty okay. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully the range video is coming soon!
Minimum one target ding ding ding! That click so many bells in my head.
Eriks face at 35:14, distance to the lance:-)
That was a fun chit-chat session.
Hey I can relate to Remington.after a recent hand injury at work with a circular saw,I’m 2 months into a 3 month healing process,so I start watching your vids along with f class John and others and I gain lots of useful information.the down side is I’m in the uk and we pay more for stuff from the USA,so my my zero press cost me £1600 that’s $2100 to you guys along with the £2500 on other stuff, im £4100 that’s $6500 in USA into new equipment lol,great videos and really helpful especially to us British where shooting is a small sport and not easy to find help.
Rest up man, hope everything healed up!
@@newerest1 all good now thanks
Super awesome!
We love Remington
Great Q&A and very informative. To my SF brother, jump in there, treat it like a FID OP training Gs.
The sit down interview was all about Erik and Remington having a discussion. I was not around when Remington came out the first time. I just listened and gained a feel for the dynamic.
@@ilikepiepls Fair enough I suppose, but I think you'll find the majority of the people here would have valued your input and were disappointed you stayed so quite.
@@wilfdarr noted
@@ilikepiepls being friends with some former military folks has taught me that sometimes the people who talk the least get heard the most. I’ve been trying to learn to be like that for a long time.
So I loaded my 308 Omark just off the lands X10 shots 4thou jumps for 10 rounds.
Skipped 20thou then loaded 30 rounds with a 4 thou jump. Shot them in 5 round groups and found the accuracy node with the last 8 or so rounds that I shot.
Now I have 3 shot groups loaded up. 3thou apart.
I can't wait to load up 30 rounds and shoot them at 400 yards to see how consistent they are :)
Eric was saying in his “chasing lands” video that nodes are usually about 6thou apart, so if you're skipping 20thou you're likely skipping over good nodes.
@@wilfdarr yeah but there's plenty of nodes some better that others. I was going a bit deeper to get better bullet engagement on the neck of the case.
If I had the money it would be amazing to shoot 50 rounds in a string to see all the nodes.
@@stephenthompson9722 Ah. Fair enough. If the bullet's not seating in the case well then the jump to the lands will be the least of your worries 😁
This is awesome ‼️ 😂
You are correct, Remy, he did say 0.25 MOA = new barrel! LOL!
I didn't catch where he's from in NM. I live, work, and fly in the NW corner (FMN) and I've practiced cross wind landings and landed 20 kts from the left and rolled out with 20kts from the right. It's a great place to learn the wind. With mesas and valleys all over the place the wind is variable. The wind flows like really low viscosity (thin) water. I'll be back in Weimar, TX by May and I'm looking forward to getting back into reloading and shooting with the info I'm learning on this channel.
Remington says "Distance from my lands" Erik says what what what wait... what did you say LOL Oh no... brought the wrong gun after driving 7 hours. Ouch.
I'm sure I'll eventually bring the wrong rifle or ammo. But gd I'd triple check before driving 11 hours. Lol
Haha, I am an INTP type personality with a little ocd. I can make a checklist and forget the list 😂
I have a question as far as the statement on turret press having flex ive seen your video of using dillon for your precision isnt there some plate flex on indexing presses also never used a Dillon so dont know anything about them
Erik does some extra work on the plates to eliminate slop. I’ll let him say exactly what it is as I’m not 100% sure
Liked the video but had to giggle to myself about minutes and mills.
Class of 1999 sniper school Fort Benning Georgia. We milled everything and then converted to minutes on 80 year old yard range’s.
I like this chap…
Real question. How do you chose a gunsmith to help build a custom rifle? I have two custom rifles that were my grandfather's (benchrest rifles 6mmPPC and 243AI) I would like to build a 6.5-284.
Dear Sir - reputation, experience, quality, results.............thanks.
I wish Jason would have said what he was thinking a few times😉
When you are talking about getting custom expander mandrels, do you account for spring back ? So should I go 2 1/2 thousands to get 2 thousands after spring back. Or after annealing do you really not get spring back? Asking for your experience. Thank you. I really have enjoyed your videos and the way you teach handloading. I was taught by an old timer and he was set in his ways. I am seeing the light and you make things simple 😃
With expander mandrels, the brass springs back the other way. So if you want 0.002” neck tension, you may need to go with 0.0015” under bullet diameter. The amount of spring back has to do with how much you are expanding the brass.
What about the new lathe?
There going to be a shooting video to go along with this?
Eric had that “what the f@ck did you say about my momma” look on his face when Remington said he was chasing lands…….I nearly chocked on my coffee myself lol.
😂
i just know Jason did more then just being a sniper, his eyes during this interview tell me that he has done some high lvl security stuff. because they just keep scanning and make really short stops to make detailed observations of a known save room. i know snipers have to have attention to details as well but not that close in kind that security have to in whats considered save.
If you can't do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly. So yah some guys finished at the bottom. Someone has to. But can they enjoy learning to get better?
Oh my goodness he's chasing the lands did you see Eric's reaction
"we got ammo for that" Amazing.
Maybe I need that ammo? Until I can buy a better caliber 😂
You’re logic is the same as a professional golfer, Eric. An amateurs miss a putt by coming up short. I professional will aim to finish the other side of the hole..
Yep
Please tell your next lot of guest not to rock on their chairs (or buy chairs that don’t squeak..)
Otherwise, thanks for another great video!
We took note of the sound quality during the interview. We will make adjustments.
@@ilikepiepls I didn't mind the echo of the room: it gives the character of a real conversation in the shop rather than a sanitary interview. The squeaky chairs would have been OK too IF it were in the background, but that mic really brought it up front!
Progress is a slippery walk!
Once drove 10 hours and left my rifle’s magazine at home…we’ve all been there.
I was just thinking: Jason, outta curiosity, did you happen to serve with someone by the name of Will? He and I went through couple schools together and served in the 82nd for awhile before he went off and got his Green Beret. If so, did he ever pawn off that redhead female soccer player that he thought was the love of his life til she turned around and he saw her face. He offered to pay me to try and win her over. Sometimes I miss those days.
Hahaha. I have not met a will that tried to pawn off a redhead on me. Kinda wish I had though. 😂
Please excuse my ignorance in this subject: Is it really necessary to make your own ammo in order to be very accurate at long distances? There are no high quality ammunition that can be purchased off the shelf for long distance shooting?
There are plenty of accurate commercial ammo, but every rifle has litte differences from the others (freebore lenght, barrel contour, barrel lenght, action-stock connection) that make less or more accurate certain bullet, charge and ammo lenght combination.
We are talking about precision shooting, in other circumstances there is no practical differences
Erik, I will come and visit my daughter if I can hang out with you all for a day. She's way to mean to spend the entire time with. I did way too good a job raising her I fear. Make sure if you're reading wind flags, you know what material they're made from. Make sure they aren't nylon. Nylon will absolutely lie to you.
Absolutely love the channel and content, but the acoustics of that room were pretty rough on the ears. Just an FYI
"That's not what I meant when I said stop neck sizing."🤣🤣🤣
We need the REM 700 to come back.
We need 870 and 1100 barrels to come back.
Most importantly we need a Remington Accutip sabots in 20 gauge to come back.
Not only do I respect you for being a champion, but your teaching us makes that respect that much deeper. Then you realize that you need to hire some help instead of toughing it out alone, +more respect. You hire a Vet who complements you very well, ++respect. You brought Remmy back, showing us it wasn’t a ruse for clickbait, and you have another guy there who’d likely do anything you ask him to without question. Sounds like the beginnings of the three amigos! Erik, give the man “a seat at the table”. On that note, I’m a shooter deeply intertwined into machine automation and Fusion360 these days. Wouldn’t take much for me to pack up. The chickens and move to where the REAL economy is……but maybe I am wrong. 🤷🏻♂️
Email me.
Ectuner@yahoo.com
Oh man you said the magic words. Machine automation and fusion360
No wait I meant chickens.
@@ilikepiepls Chickens are the key to everything, for what's coming. Haha, you're an awesome guy, by the way. Much respect.
@@NoelLucas thank you sir.
Funny , folks seeing video title and think it’s about Remington firearms.
👍💯
When you speak of group size, are you talking outside to outside or center to center?
Always center to center.
@Erik Cortina thats what i measure by, just wanted to make sure i was on The same page as the professional shooters.🙂
Watching Remington go from gun bubba to scientist in a year is going to end up costing me money…
We got ammo for that! 😜
Is its compulsory in the USA for caps to match hoodies?🤣🤣
Ill play you a 5-3 race on that Brunswick for shooting lessons lol.
How much does it cost? Erik you missed you shot. YOU REPLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN...YOU NEED an EC TUNER BRAKE for smaller groups.haha
.308win, I still have mine......................................................
Is the guy in brown a statue?
He's a ex sniper that's were alot of that comes from you set back and watch and take everything in
The Guy in Brown is crazy smart too!!!
@@remingtonlytle2271 haha no doubt just seems a little camera shy
@@remingtonlytle2271 he seems to be very smart for sure
Lol. We got amo for that.
Now lets drop the 90 degree bolt throw down to 60, Or even upgrade the extractor( like what Bergara does).... otherwise i would be giving my money to Bergara, factory fixes the Remmy issues.
@ 41:50 a case of too many guns. 😁
Are you still building bardo's?
The only dumb question is the question that isn’t asked.
Good women
It’s almost like he hasn’t watched any of the reloading videos…?
Exactly what i thought.
Haha ya we got amo for that
Go for it Remington. Your not drinking,doing drugs,or running around on your wife. There are worse things to do Jin life. End of the day you have something to show for money spent.
Remington’s next piece of gear will have to be a divorce lawyer 😂
260 Remington, tough to beat in its class.
YES! Blame the wife!
F class John sorts primers……..is no one gonna bring this up?……..just me?…….
I didn’t know he did that. 😂
Great video. What a waste on bringing wrong gun.
Erik gets triggered: at 34:30 his young padawan is enthusiastically describing his philosophy and process, and then .... wait, what?
The XP100 'pistol' in .223 and .308. WE LOST ALL THE CHEAP MILITARY SURPLUS AMMO!
It was done intentionally to make .223 and .308 commercial 'pistol' ammo. Screw remington.
wrong gun. Lmfao. hilarious.
Hmmmm, who cares. They’ve been so shit for so long, i dont care in the slightest.
Bro squeaking chair
