This makes sense to watch the velocities on the early life of the barrel during the first 250 rounds or so. And it to know when the barrel is done moving, you would logically need every round loaded identically. If every round is identical, but the velocities are changing, you know the barrel is still breaking in. Thus, in turn, after firing the 250 rounds you will know the barrel is done moving around AND your brass will be all the same. Now it would be time to grab a batch for load development. Great concept. Thank you. I'm looking forward to coming down there to train with you when I get my 7mm PRC Primal.
Awesome video man thanks for all you work and sharing your knowledge. Thank you also for all the scripture you share on here and on instagram i always look forward to what you share daily. Keep up the good work and God bless
I enjoy videos like this. Even though I pretty follow a lot of your process to a T, videos like these are a good reminder. Just in time too, I’m putting a 17 Rem and an 17 fireball together tonight. Thanks for your time and effort to make these videos man!
Worth watching a couple times for sure. Going to follow this to a T for a new 6BRA -PRS set up. Time to hand load at the range. Great information here !
Thank you for sharing God's word and helping me understand the great importance of brass prep and management. I finally got a decent chronograph and got to watch my new 6.5 prc velocities change this past Saturday. Granted all the brass was still done my old way but from here on out its all changing thanks to these videos and when we spoke the other day.
The devil is in the details…as in most things. Excellence will elude the majority, because most people don’t care enough about what they do. Our civilization is suffering because of the cult of mediocrity that has swept our culture…it doesn’t make life better, and indeed it will be our undoing. Thanks for sharing your specialized knowledge…I’m learning a ton. To understand why you’re failing gives the individual the choice to succeed or be happy with their achievements to date…and that’s invaluable. Cheers.
I have bought the best reloading equipment and components including your primer seater. I still need to purchase PrimeWhere Digital Package. I will soon be in the process of building a 6.5 Creed rifle. I've been in contact with Wolf Precision here in Pennsylvania where I will go to their facility to build the rifle with their guidance. Because the rifle will be brand new, I haven't started to reload until I get the rifle. I watched most of your videos but can you recommend a video or series of videos that SHOWS reloading from start to finish for a new rifle/barrel? FYI...This video was extremely good because it addressed changes in the barrel that will affects reloading as it "Breaks in".
When you finalize and validate “the load “ you want to go with out of the 50 pieces of Brass that has been shot several times and is more than likely fully fire formed. How do you take that particular load and use it in new Brass it change how the gun shoots if you take your validated load and shoot it in Brass?thanks for all you do
You have some unique ideas and make sense in engineering terms. It would be great to see you work with applied ballistics. Your engineering based approach and internal ballistics knowledge would pair quite well with Bryan litz’s scientific approach and external ballistics expertise. From reading his books anytime a hand loading topic is tested it seems to be inconclusive.

Love the preaching brother! Keep letting God work threw you so others can see Him .
Great content as usual. Amen brother on the Bible lesson!

Great video Mr. Dykstra. You accurately described issues that I have experienced in my shooting. Please keep up the great content!
Another thought inspiring video. Thank you so much.
Perfect timing! I’m about to build a 22 Creedmoor. This information will really help as I break in the barrel! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this info! Love the antelope video by the way.
Greg, what lens and camera did you use to film the pronghorn? How far away were they?

Thank you. Good wisdom
Very well said
Thankfully I started running my brass in lots of 50 for load development and 100 for conformation
If I had the money, time and private range, I would give it a try, but alas I don’t😂
Amen my friend
Like the cross on the stock

Well this explains a few issues I've been having over the years. It also showed me I've probably ruined 150 pieces of 300winmag brass.
😉
Do you recommend that you start with min loads
yay!
Once I pick a bullet and powder, where in the powder range do I want to load the first 250 rounds?

We offer hands on training, but don’t have a “how to” basics video.

You're invited to sign up for our apprentice level mentorship program to have 1-on-1 help with this and other issues you'd like to discuss!

I lov what you dp
this makes me want to throw all my brass away lol
