      Randy knew/knows most of the original developers of the modern rifle community and has been instrumental in several different cartridge's development process and testing. Not to disparage his Gunsmithing skills they speak for themselves. I think it would be a highly interesting interview and would really highlight Eric's desire of seeing things from a different perspective for learning and growing our close community of riflemen.

They are the first place I suggest new shooters should go because they helped me so much and are easy for the novice to understand. "Go watch ALL of Ryan Cleckner's videos and then do what you want from there". Best advice I can give. Big thanks to the NSSF also, of course.

    Good conversation guys! I competed in F class myself and used a REM 700 SPS .308 in FPR. Out of the box I could hold my own with the rifle finish 1/2 nd on a regular basis. Then the guy I was head to head with began the equipment upgrade game so I did the same. Took it to Alton Brit at Dixie precision, new PTG bolt, true up barrel and receiver, made the rifle a superb shooter.
    Then I shot a PRS train up match with George Garner and other PRS guys. Did well on first match but second got my rear end handed to me because my mental game was not on that day in reference to your software comment Eric. Keep it up guys!

    About shooting a clean barrel, I have a 6 mm Creedmoor that's just passed 2000 rounds and should be nearing retirement. I find it takes a lot more shots after cleaning it to get it to shoot good again, compared to a 1000 rounds ago. It used to be 1 or 2 shots to get it good, now it's 10.

    I was a SAW gunner in Baghdad. I was put into a sniper role with my 249 simply because when we pulled out a 3pm I was the only person who brought my NV scope. After I got home I really got interested in learning how to shoot. Ryan’s videos have been an awesome resource for me. I have my 300 win mag dialed in beautifully. My yard gun is an old .22lr that I sighted in on an old well pipe at “That’s far enough away “. I’ve been shooting minute of critters for years. A few weeks back I was shooting at a groundhog in a farm field. It was about 200-250 yards out with 10-15mph wind. Sighted for minute of critters with a 4x scope and Ryan’s teaching I put 5 rounds within inches of the groundhog. He quit coming back out of his hole so I didn’t get him. But for a machine gunner I’ll take it.

    -After graduating from my Red Ryder to a Benjamin pistol and finally to a 22, I had way more time then money. I practiced dry firing at a spot on the wall of my bedroom. I called it snap shooting. Throw the rifle up and squeeze. A successful shot was when perfect sight picture was perceived at the click. Eventually I learned to do it with both eyes open and when I got my first scope I could nail a squirrel running on a tree limb. (If it wasn't too far away, maybe ten or twelve yards.) I had a little clip fed Mossberg with the fold down forearm. Those were the days. Practice works.

  • @MrT13

    Eric instead of “burns it away” I’ve thought of it as “adds lubricity” I’m not a chemist but I feel like if you took a bunch of powder. Whatever kind. And got white gloves on and rubbed it in between your fingers. You know you’d see that staining you get when you leave powder in something for a while. It stains right? So whatever that liquid is in powder I think it’s actually that. It’s almost like it does have a super fine coating or saturation of oil in it. Obviously you could pre oil a barrel and shoot it but that’s not the same or remotely consistent, so sure swab it before the line. But I’m in agreement. It’s not heat. And I don’t really think it’s filling cracks for efficiency either. I think it’s just burnt powder is more of a faster surface than bare metal. My .02$

    My favorite book on long range shooting is Cleckner's book. And I have used his targets for bore sighting. His philosophy sticks with me. Focus on the reticle, not the target. Shoot tactically. A hit on the target zone is a hit. And that works perfectly for deer hunting, which is what I do.

    @larryspencer4075 Рік тому +1

    These are 2 of 3 of my go to sources for legit info. The 3rd is Bryan Litz. Ryan's book was my first read and that lead to his videos. At the suggestion of my coach/owner of range I moved on to the Applied Ballistics series. While absorbing all this material one thing rings loud and clear from these 3 guys. The 2 things that matters most are fundamentals and consistency and those 2 things apply to shooting and reloading. The new shiny thing.. be it a new rifle chambering, or the latest reloading gear is always cool, but without the fundamentals AND consistency the rest is meaningless.
    The other thing to take note of with these guys is they have the same open mindset. When a person closes their mind to new ideas or ongoing training they get left behind.
    Thank you both for sharing your wealth of knowledge. It has had a very positive impact to my learning.

    Crosman 760 Pumpmaster practice makes me a better big gun shooter. The 760 does not move much after discharge, which shows if one has a 'bad body set up' if the scope moves after discharge. A 1 inch target at 30 feet shows me any movement of the crosshairs when my body (all parts) moves at discharge. When body set up is right the crosshairs should not leave the 1 inch target at discharge.

    I got to say one thing about the S&B ammo talk, S&B made ammo for hunting purposes long before Hornady and Berger was even invented and they know how to make it cheaper and better
    I got 8mm Mauser ammo from S&B with the cutting edge bullet and that stuff is amazing there is no Berger or Hornady what can compete with that in velocity or bullet performance
    So what I’m saying is if they want to make target ammo they can
    But the whole interview was great and I learn a thing or two

    Great conversation to point out the differences between range work and field work and what the needs of each really are. Soldier is happy with a hit, kill is a bonus, hunter is usually only happy with a kill, range work can be happy with a hit, or a tiny group, depending on the specific application. The legal aspect is another can of worms that far too many gun owners do not comprehend and cannot be explained to the public anywhere nearly enough.

    This confirms my observations, I am a newer long range shooter. Was at the range just trying to hone my skills and get an idea how the gun and I shoot. 19 of 20 shots were 1 MOA with the outlier pushing the group to 1.6 MOA. I can't say why the outlier was that far out of the rest of the group, my hope and expectation it was me not the factory ammo or the gun. I dry fire a fair bit, my fire target is a light bulb at 166 yards.

    1moa low at 1k yds is from the decreased resistance from the barrel when it's clean and lubed. The dirty barrel has more friction resulting in the increased pressure. I agree with you guys! You guys are great! Thank you!

    As a hunter and I have been hunting whitetail for a long time, being what most would call an old fart by todays standards. I have learned to follow F Class and Bench shooters advice and Of course not for the field. But instead for how good to try an make your equipment work. As Erik has stated in other videos, If he is not shooting a 1/4 or less at 100 yards or making them all in the same hole. The barrel is history. As a hunter many may say well that's nuts. But if you attempt to apply it as much as possible and try to achieve the discipline. It will makes sense. Out of all my hunts, even still today containing your excitement when you see that trophy buck at the distance is difficult to do unless you dead from the waist up. So throw in all the factors, DEAD cold bore, One shot if lucky not 20, surrounding temp very cold. In an unfamiliar area. Just spent 6K on the hunt. You already see the Buck on the wall. Your blood pressure and heart rate. Is shaking the tree stand. Yeah you want to be as sharp as a pencile on paper, Because on the Field. Your luck if you can hit a stop sign at 75 yards.

  • @rgthomson1

    The higher velocity after the first shot is due to carbon lubricating the barrel, when talking to a gunsmith many years ago he like the carbon in the necks of the cases for the lubrication, carbon in the barrel is good until it builds up to much , then affects the accuracy, when i check a load for a match and look at my es i will always discount the first shot

    Are there certain makes of guns either rifle or pistols that can safely be dry fired without causing harm to the guns?
    My problem is I’m poor on disability for half my life and so I can’t afford to need to repair anything or buy things to dry fire. Any tricks or clues how I can dry fire cheap?
    I’m going now to get to do some research on the topic now.

  • @CJ-ty8sv
    @CJ-ty8sv Рік тому +1

    Eric, Hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year.
    Let me give you some food for thought here on the clean bore first shot lower velocity thing... This will be a bit lengthy as I want to give full details of my testing and findings.
    To start, I 100% agree that I dont really think there is a "cold bore" error problem but there is definitely a "clean bore" error problem and like you, from everything I've personally seen, that first shot is always (or almost always at minimum) slower.
    With that said, after watching this video for this video for the first time Wednesday, I did a bit a testing on this between yesterday and today and think I can answer what is going on. Its not residue or what not like you suspect left in from cleaning causing the barrel to be "more slippery" but actually the opposite, clean bore is resulting in more friction and thus causing the bullet to be slower (and pressure to be higher).
    How I tested this was being a Mechanist by trade and having access to an optical comparator at work among other measuring and testing equipment, I went though a 100 ct pack of CCI BR2 primers that I have and found about 2 dozen that were identical to within .0002" of each other in overall height variation (measured variation on an inspection granite surface plate with a tenths indicator) then took all them to the optical comparator and found 10 that were as Identical as I could see in the comparator with regards to their corner radius and the doming of the primer itself by making a drawing in AutoCAD to use as a profile template for the corner radius and doming printed on transparency to use on the OC.
    With those 10 in hand and knowing that I have a really good load worked up for one of my rifles, I loaded up the 10 rounds. Yesterdays testing was 5 rounds that were done in a clean bore each time with also a 30min cool down period between each one with a barrel cooler through it for that 30 minutes. So essentially each shoot was though a clean bore and barrel at ambient temp. The only thing I didn't do was clean after the 5th shot so that way todays testing started on a single shot fouled bore.
    Todays testing was the same, just no cleaning between shots and to compensate for the "extra cooldown" that the cleaning + 30min cooldown with barrel cooler resulted in, I let the rifle sit for 45min with the barrel cooler running between each shot rather than 30 like yesterdays testing.
    All shots were shot over a Crono (didn't look for on target variation because I did this at home and I can only safely shot to 150yrd at home and had a very specific reason for doing it home). The reason for doing it home was so that all shots, cooldown and cleaning could be done in a climate controlled environment so to mitigate any possible outside ambient air temp difference causing any errors. The crono results showed exactly what I expected to see, the 5 shots on clean bore yesterday were all slower, between 25 and 30fts slower with the group vs. group average being 28fps slower for the 5 clean bore shots.
    Now here's where it gets interesting about the pressures. Rather than pushing out the primers as one normally would and risk possibly deforming them from their "As Fired" state, I took the shells up to work this afternoon and turned the heads down on each shell to where the primers fell out on their own. Then I took them over to the OC to compare them all back to the profile drawing and although it wasn't much, it could be seen that the 5 clean bore fired primers had ever so slightly more flattening and ever so slightly more squared off shoulders so it was clearly evident that those 5 were seeing higher pressure. I didn't bother to measure the relative heights between them since the visual on the comparator was enough to know that there was going to be a measurable relative height difference, plus I had to get back home and get stuff taken care of for tomorrow (wife was on my back about getting the smoker going before 6 this evening because of what time she wants everything to be ready by tomorrow. Anyways.....)
    So to see higher pressure yet have slower velocity, the only reasonable / logical explanation is that there is more friction in the clean bore slowing the bullet which in turn is causing an increase in pressure, or at least peak pressure. This makes sense too when you consider that Bench Rest shooters mitigate the problem by using Lock Ease (i.e., powdered graphite lubricant) as it is acting as a lubricant between the bullet and barrel (i.e., reducing the friction between the bullet and the barrel). The same thing is occurring via the microscopic residue left from the burnt power after the first or second shot without using Lock Ease (i.e., the residue left from the burnt powder is acting as the lubricant to reduce the friction between the bullet and barrel on subsequent shots).

      Stumbled across a guy in the early 90s that built a couple of wildcat pistols for silhouette. I understood what he was talking about and we became great friends. He has passed away to the big range above, but his “stuff “ is cherished and in my possession till I can’t use, then I might allow his son a chance.

    @believethetarget my belief of the dirty vs clean barrel is pressure. I think a dirty bore holds higher pressure than a clean bore. Because, a dirty bore is technically smaller in diameter.

    I still need help with extreme uphill and downhill shots. I was taught to always aim low but center mass of vitals works better for me. I understand the trig part of ranging but what is going on here? Is this missing low due to cold bore shot? Great video and love the content.

    Clean barrel definitely has a POI change on all my guns. Mine aren’t necessarily low.

    In the case of a squeaky clean barrel, I'd say you're filling in burrs and machining marks with the first shot. That causes the first shot to be slow. The reason it doesn't speed up more after the first shot is because those imperfections are already filled in. Maybe there is a difference between the first and second shots for a very low quality/poorly finished barrels.

      The same happens on brand new premium barrels.

      @@BelieveTheTarget What I meant was that even on premium barrels there will be some imperfections, however small they may be, that get filled in on the first shot.
