- Very happy with the 222 1:14 twist from Preferred Barrels.
First 10 shots and hitting .3's. That is very good. Groups should get smaller messing with seating depth. Lapua guy video from Long Range Shooters of Utah Video. Pronounce it any way you like. Thank you for watching.
I'm re-watching many of your earlier productions. A brilliant, informative and interesting video - thank you.
Thanks Mark! I could never get that barrel to shoot great. Put it in 2 actions and 2 stocks. Never found a load it liked. It makes one hell of a pry bar.:) Have a good Monday.
@@ToadleyBrowne I had a "bad" barrel on one of my 6mm PPC rifles from Pac Nor a few years ago, it would not consistently shoot under 0.250". I tried way too many bullet/powder/primer combinations before pulling that tube.
Enjoyed the video. I have REM 40 x BR. 222. Re-barreled by Dan Dowling wood stock. 52 gr Burgers. Vihtavuori N 133. Love the 222
Thank you for watching! Have a great day.
Looks like you got a shooter there Toad. Well, that should clear up the arguments on how to pronounce Lapua lol.👍🏻
You spend hours reloading, club memberships, research and all that goes into making a video and the only thing some say is, "You pronounce it LA POO AH." After a while I just shake my head:)
We are all making so much money to put up with the bullshit. Thanks as always friend.
When you went from printed target to drawn circle target and the 1st round hit I thought "That's about a 5/16 circle" then you put up .320 I had to chuckle a bit. I was a tool maker in my former life lol
I used the end of a xacto holder. You machinists are very smart. I know some that are very successful in that field.
Very, very nice groups Toad, well done. Bit surprised at leaving a fine film of oil in the barrel for 1st shot, never done that, always shot with a dry barrel to ensure no build up and barrel distortion. Not keen, lol.
Finally picked up my 6.5CM Tac A1, looking forward to a range day to get it into action.
Cheers pal
Congrats on the 6.5. So much fun to be had there. Having just a small bit of oil ads life to the barrel. The friction is relieved with that first oiling shot. Just enough not to have a dry barrel. Once it is fouled the copper takes over but we clean after 40 rounds or so. It is probably one of those wives tales like salting the turkey before you cook it. Cant wait to see the Tikka.
Thanks mate.
Years ago I saw a "bubbled" barrel where a fellow forgot to dry patch his barrel before 1st shot of the day and that scared me off. The risk of a wave being created in front of the projectile, and the projectile overrunning it really worries me. But if it works for you, run with it.
Funny story behind the 6.5, a local chap was looking at it when they were first released and was impressed so he bought it despite warnings that it was a heavy SOB.... Hadn't shot many rounds through it and decided to trade it in on a 6.5PRC, not available in Oz at that stage but wanted to be high on the list. Well, the PRC was taking its time so he changed and bought the Swede instead, now complaining about recoil, lol.
He didn't tell me he was doing this, I would've bought the bugger straight of him & save a few bucks, but traded it with the dealer. By the time I found out what was happening, another fellow had put a deposit on it and it looked like I'd missed out, AGAIN. Lucky for me, this fellow got some problems and decided to forego the purchase, which I leapt on. Now it is home, not even fully shot in, imo. Took a few months but it is here now, 8-34 X 56 scope ready to put on, so yeah, pretty happy, but now I'm broke, lol.
Cheers pal.
@@PilotMcbride The folding stock, muzzle brake, smooth action and very good accuracy makes those stand out. You will like the trigger and it can be made to be real light.
No folding stock and trigger will be lightened to about a pound mate, lol. Standard Tikka trigger's lower weight is about 2 pounds, 15 minutes and bingo, job done.
For a reason that's beyond me, it is illegal to have folding stocks here, same as any repeater that resembles an AR15 or any other military firearm is illegal. Absolutely weird, but if we want to shoot we have to jump through the hoops. And at one stage it was illegal to own a firearm with a pistol grip! Why? No idea at all.
@@PilotMcbride Here is our State. They have a wonderful web page to show you all the ways they violate our constitutional right to possess fire arms. Federal law is supreme to State law and a lot of this has not been challenged. If you are bored and want to be nauseated, this is what they do over here in New York. safeact.ny.gov/
I’ve never been to a gun show, or a gun shop, where they pronounce Lapua correctly. Lol
Just watched a few of your guitar videos. Great singing/playing!
Nice rig there Toad. Looks like she's dialed in pretty well. Throw away the small hammer, you've got a proper tack driver now.
2's for Tuesday:) Have a good day. Thanks for watching.
looks like you got a good rifle/barrel... thanks for the toads tricks
Nice groups! In my country this caliber is often used instead of the 223 because of the regulations. It is very accurate 👍 Lapuha La-pooh-a 😂
Thanks! The 52 Grain Bergers seem to shoot pretty well. I want to get some bench rest custom bullets but they can be a pain to obtain sometimes.
Nice Toad. How I know the proper way to say lapua. Good looking groups. 👍👍
Thanks! I went out this morning and got into the 2's with it.40 rounds down the barrel with those results is very good.
Remove/ disable ejector ✔️
Very nice groups
Thank you James Pollard:)
"Toadley Browne told me not to shoot out the center of the bullseye!" just got added to my list. My friends were starting to doubt that the sun was in my eyes, my shirt is too tight and the wind must have picked up.
Ha Ha Ha! how about damp powder, light primer strikes, hard shell casings, seating stem was bent, scope mount was loose, too heavy trigger, too light trigger, the bench wiggles, blurry eyes, barrels cooked, wrong velocity in the ballistic calculator, barrel needs free floating, action screws are too tight...I'm bored. Skipped breakfast have low blood sugar, lost my ear plugs, seat was wet, black flies are out, ticks are all over the place, just stepped in a pile of dog crap, got to take my wife to the Gynecologist. We have heard it all and then some.
@@ToadleyBrowne I think the distance to that target is marked wrong. The deer walking across the range distracted me. The box was marked "Match Grade" but that must have been a misprint. It's copper fouling. Barrel needs re-crowned. Did someone adjust my turrets when I wasn't looking? My rear bag must need a little more fill. I pounded a Red Bull on the way over, I'm feeling a little jittery. Contact is drying out (be sure to point at shooting eye)
@@GhostRiderUSA That's great! Sounds like a video to me. Sometimes it's hard to get what the vision is to reality. What's my motivation? Where are the salted peanuts? I was told that there would be spring water here. It would be a good acting opportunity. Not sure the juice would be worth the squeeze though.:) The pointing at the shooting eye thing had me laughing.
Great tips as always. What are you using under the stock fore end. A length of stainless or aluminum to reduce friction?
A little less than 3 inches wide aluminum. Those Choate stocks have a channel for a sliding bipod. In the channel there are screws. I just used those existing holes to attach glider and for the rear stop. It tracks very nice. A little backyard work there but that's half the fun. Thanks!
Interesting. My Triple 2 likes it closer up to the lands. I have been told that my Triple 2 chamber is one of the shortest so that may have something to do with it. But I have a .223 that likes it further away from the lands. A lot further away. Haha.
Might want a 223 load from you if you have something in the 52 grain category:) Thanks for watching and comment.
@@ToadleyBrowne Sorry no 52gr. I can give you a 55gr. .223 load that shoots MOA or under in my bolt rifle. This particular load was developed from a proven Winchester factory load. My .223 loads are 55gr. Hornady SPs. Still pushing with IMR 4198. I did have some Sierra 50gr. SPs at one time but that was in Triple 2 and the results were not as good as 55gr. I am pretty much sticking with 55gr. loads as my rifles both in Triple 2 and .223 seem to prefer it over the lighter bullets. If you want a load from me just ask though and I will be glad to send you an e-mail. I keep personal load data notebooks in addition to the manufacturer load data books.
@@rbm6184 Sounds good.
