    Excellent video Josh. Thanks for your service. I too retired from the Air Force Reserves after 30 years. The Tri Care benefits and pay are well worth it. Looking forward to my next range day. I have a CZ457 MTR that shoots very well but the cold bore shot is killing me. Can't wait to see if it works for me. Thanks.

    Went out today with the Rem.597 today. I forgot about the advice given in the previous video. Sure enough, first shot after cooling was a 3" flyer. After that it all came together and we got an 1 1/2" goup at 100 yards. Gonna learn to use the straw technique and will probably use it in a video soon. I have suggested the technique to other channels with your channel name!❤❤❤

    You have to approach everything with an open mind even if dozens of others have tested the theory, you have to test it because you dont know everything they did or didnt do in their tests. I have found that people see things and think things differently. Doesnt make them right or wrong, just a different approach. Many times someone will say or do something that triggers something in you that you piggyback off of that idea and incorporate it into your ideas to come up with a solution. A prime example of that is my comment on your TX22 short video about the fix for feeding problems to where they shoot any and all ammo. I for sure am going to try this my next time out. Cold bore shift sucks.

    I have arrived at the same conclusion that rimfire is anything but consistent. So many variables. The ambient temperature difference between your Eley testing and this one probably made a difference too. But the mind blowing part of both part one and part two is the straw! Who would have thought? I have regretted not staying in the reserves after my RA enlistment many moons ago. But other things got in the road and I didn't. Glad you are doing it. Thanks for your service and good decision.

    It is so refreshing to see tests like this that are comprehensive and conducted carefully enough to produce meaningful results. I’ve long wondered about the cold bore shift question, and although I’ve about decided that it’s not something I experience with centerfire rifles, there are too many reports about it from 22 rimfire shooters to ignore. So, it’s great that someone has actually looked into the possible reasons and cure. Thank you. And yes: Stick with it. The Army needs all the good people it can get.

    Thanks for sharing Josh. I have a couple things to bring up. I believe the rifle you were shooting in this video had a custom barrel and your gunsmith would have checked for tight spots in the barrel, so in your case, I think it has more to do with what you were addressing in your 1st video causing the increase in FPS on the 1st shot. If a barrel has not been checked for tight spots it would be a good spot to start.

    The benchrest competitions is shoot in have sighter targets and therefore, cold bore shift is taken care of by putting one round into the sighter and then checking POI. I have been using SK Rifle Match and there seems to be little cold bore shift and my rifle likes it. The only problem is it is hard to find here in Australia.

  • @MuneebKhan-zv1bb
    @MuneebKhan-zv1bb 8 місяців тому

    I still believe it's the amount of oxygen that causes higher velocity of first shot. By blowing through straw the air is replaced with moisture and Carbon Dioxide and both are non combustion materials and keep the velocities in tight figures. Some lubricants also burn and might help in increasing the velocity by few feet per second and that can be checked by rubbing the tips with alcohol patches and get the velocities compared with the lubricated ones 😅

    • @Lunch_Peak
      @Lunch_Peak 8 місяців тому +4

      I am not sure about this take. Because when you exhale most of the oxygen that you breathed in is exhaled, you only use a small amount of the oxygen in each breath when your not doing vigorous work. Additionally having more or less oxygen in the barrel shouldn't effect the combustion very much as the gunpowder is self oxidizing and the oxygen in the barrel is separated from the combustion at all times by the projectile. As for the lubricant burning, that could be an interesting thing to test.

      Also, I believe that the testing that Josh is doing with the straw has total merit very similar to much of the suppressor testing I’ve done with regards to first round pop. The first shot is always louder because of the oxygen within the suppressor itself ,all subsequent shots are normalized and are much quieter because the displacement of oxygen.

    I have a point of impact question that is not just relative to the first shot. I watched your vids. and Day at the range vids. and I am wondering why is there a POI., shift target to target? Nobody seems to address this phenomena. Either it's point of aim or there is something else going on. One group is at 11 o'clock and the next group will have a flier at 11 and the rest of the group is at 2 o'clock, or something to that effect. I, neither have the skill or the equipment to under-take such a study, but I figure that since the 22, is one of the longest and most produced rounds in the world, someone would have looked into this by now. I'm guessing most of the time, while shooting groups, people don't adjust the scope to hit the center dot because they want that consistent aiming point, but I would think that on a challenge target, with one shot per target, that would be ideal. I'm I right or wrong on this? I thank you for your videos and the knowledge I'm gaining watching them. I am planning to get into bench rest, or something in the near future so I'm trying to soak up as much as I can.
