Thanks for bringing us along!
This is the range Eric that I mentioned on the Wildcat podcast. It can be very tough winds there very common for people to shoot their neighbors targets 35 mph wind gusts are common.
On that side of the Cascade Mountains I call the desert northwest, nothing Pacific about it.
yeah most people just don't get that 2/3rds of both Oregon and Washington is actually the dry side and most of that high desert. Nice part is you get tired of the rain west of the cascades, the dry side is just a short drive.
My debut is soon I cant wait to meet all the amazing shooters!!!!
I used to hunt rock chucks around Sprague, east of there. Terrain and winds very much the same. Makes a 300-yards shot with a .223 at a rock chuck challenging! Often it was take the first shot to see where it hit and correct W&E on the second.
That was pretty light wind that day.
Driving truck in the early 90's, would blow so hard you couldn't see the road.
Another trucker hauling explosives drove off the road on a corner, cars were piling in around him.
He was screaming for help on the C.B. no crater was there the next day i went through, so all was well!
looks like they really likes rocks but that rock trophie was the best part haha
Hi Eric which action would you recommend bat model m or Borden BRMXD for F-open?
Hey Erik, im hoping you can help me out with this one. Ive been following your load development method for a while now and all has been going great. My question is the last part of it you say this
10. Final step is to load the new seating depth and load 5 shot groups in 0.1 gr. increments 0.5 gr. on each side of node (if pressure limits are not reached). This will cover an entire grain of powder and you will be able to pinpoint where the powder node starts and ends. In the summer, load towards the low end of the node, and do the opposite in the winter.
Wouldnt i want to be on the higher end if its 80 degrees out so thay way if the temp changes to 30-40 degrees i will still be in the node velocity wise? For example,
If my gun likes 3050-3100fps and i set it up in the summer at 3050fps wont it lose velocity and fall out once it gets cold?
what stock/rifle are you holding in the picture? not your usual setup.
What do you use to see the impacts on target? It looks like a computer program.
The NRA's rules are so antiquated; they need to be changed in order to allow more shooters a chance to compete on a level playing field. With this sport being so cost prohibitive, especially now with components costing so much and being nearly impossible to find unless you're sponsored, the majority of enthusiasts can't afford, much less find, the gear necessary to compete at high levels. Oh how much different the matches and scores would be if talent and skill were the key component in shooting matches, rather than secondary variables. I suppose I'm just annoyed that I love to shoot and want to compete, but can't afford a true f-class worthy setup. I hold my own with what I have, but it sucks getting outperformed by 16 year olds with better gear.
Work for it.
@chublez I do work for it. That's why I don't have time to do nothing but reload, test, and shoot matches across the country non-stop like seemingly every top level f-class shooter.
Its not just working for it. Alot of it has to do with finding it or waiting for it.

Nice. #!!! 😊😊😊
If you are ever back in Washington and you need someone to run around and hold the camera! Hit me up!
And people called them old cowboys liers when they said they could shoot around corners!😂
Where can I get one of those Lapua shirts?
Tod Hendricks is the Nolan Ryan of F-Open.
The winds at Rattlesnake are challenging and the flags don't always tell the whole story.
Thank you for the simple tip you gave me on neck tension and my expansion mandrel. It got rid of all my vertical on day two
What was the tip? Don't go past the bottom of the neck?
So I asked him about having a wide spread of 70 pounds when seating bullets on my amp press With that being said that would include outliers most of them would have a spread of 30 pounds witch I felt was to much as well So the tip he gave me was to put the cases through the expanding mandrel twice
@@ralphproudfoot620 To me that just sounds like the annealing is bad. If using an AMP annealer maybe something is wrong. This of course assumes you are using the same LOT of brass, and hopefully quality brass like Alpha, or Lapua. Work hardening the neck (which is what erik told you) isn't the real solution. You need to work back in time, and fix what made the issue. Not bandaid the problem.
Getting close to Yakima I see
Erik it's so windy I had a hard time hearing you speak on this video 📹
Need some pictures and discussions of gear and some actual shooting.
I didn't see your buddy there, maybe he was afraid of "losing in the wind"
😂
I thought he lived around there.
@@sawhill729 he does
I believe that he has started to compete in PRS now.
Actually no unless 250 miles is considered around here.
Looks like a grandmaster range.....
