I enjoy all your content. It is really interesting though to see you apply your skills and knowledge to "everyday" rifles. I'd like to see more of this, especially load development. Thanks!
For most of us just starting out, we're using our “everyday”/“competition” rifle for both competitive shooting and varmint/hunting. So whatever you're teaching, I'm learning.
Hey Keith, I personally enjoy the variety. I try to take everything you teach about match shooting and apply it to my hunting rifles/ammo so to watch you do the same thing really does help to gauge where I’m at personally with my processes and results. So thanks very much.
I like your style. I can relate. So I'm a old loader from about the late 1970. Powder choice is one of my biggest challenges. I at one time or so looked for a powder with higher Velocitys but lower pressures and found it helped in some cases. Oh how I hate this shortage stuff.
Yours truly
222 22kh 6cm
Hey Kieth, yes please on a bit more of this sort of content. I've only been loading for about 3 years and I do my best to listen when experience talks and demonstrates. Thanks again.
P.S. and subbed.
Just did the same procedures on my new Barrel I put on my critter gitter oh, got the same results found a powder charge that it likes. Now going to start with seating depth. I swear by 2230
I actually love the everyday stuff, I’m new to reloading, don’t shoot F Class but do shoot critters. I’m also a big fan of .223 because of the affordability of loading and shooting the round. It’s just a lot of fun and shooting is a perishable skill. For me this is a constant learning experience and I may never get on an F Class rifle but I do love chasing that one hole group with my factory rifle. Keep up the good work and for this type of content.
Loved this video. I'll be watching it two or three times. My new .204 barrel from Bullberry will be here Wed. So I hope to get my multiple watches in by then. Nice to see you shoot guns like most of us do.
I like all your videos about everything,....btw - I appreciate your ethical & real approach with the 223 !! - you are spot on !! (which goes for every calibers limitations,....not to mention shooters limitations),...& hope for your ethical-reality to be contagious. Thanks again for great content & info.
i would enjoy both match and the every day gun. Keep the good work up
Yes! Thank you Kieth! More Everyday Rifle videos! Although l enjoy all your videos- This is the content I’ve been looking for! Help us budget hand loaders thank you sir!
I like a mix of competition and recreation information. Keep sendin then down range!
Thanks again now you are talking my kind of reloading and rifle quality. Yes please do more.
Enjoyed the video Keith. Great to see .223 get a mention 👍
Please do more on everyday rifles. I watch every video that you post, and I have learned to respect your opinions and advice. I watch many other firearm videos, and most seem to be devoted to competition shooters. I, also; am a competition shooter, but only amateur muzzleloading as a fun hobby (LOL). I try to do the best that I can do with my collection of centerfire rifles, but amongst many others, I own a Remington 700 .223 rifle that shoots 1/2 MOA groups at 100 yards with factory PMC military ammunition. I really enjoyed your video, and it makes me want to try to try to even improve what I am getting with my current rifle. Please continue doing these kind of videos, as I am sure there are a great many of people like me that will appreciate them.
Being a deer/boar hunter , some of your “fancy competition” talk goes over my head. Everyday rifle content is great !
However , you keep talking Keith , and we’ll keep listening. Lets see you testing loads .. then shooting critters .
I like the fancy match stuff because It's somewhat alien to me. But, getting your advise and experience on an everyday rifle would be great.
I found 23.6 grains of AR Comp under a 60gr Vmax in my AR shoot very well. Average is around half to 3/4 of a minute. Which I was happy with when I first started. Not sure how fast this is going, but it shoots well, and no pressure signs.
I like the fancy match rifle videos, but an occasional "real world" video like this is quite fun. Thanks for the great videos! Because of you, I'm getting back into highpower service rifle competitions... you re-lit the bug in me to compete again. When I stopped shooting matches (a long time ago), I was just shy of my "master card." That's my new 2022 goal.
I definitely enjoy the match rifle content. Thanks for the videos.
I like all your content and variation is good, seeing ordinary rifle load dev and how they perform is really interesting. Thanks!!!!
I like both content. I do not have match grade weapons however i apply your match techniques to my loading process with limited tools i have. Let me tell you it has made a world of difference. I watch other channels and have started to not lik them because of veriety of reasons. Your awesome keep it up, oh and please when you get famous don’t start charging us for your content. I can’t afford it.
I liked when you said "I'm learning how to drive this rifle" I feel if rifles could talk a competition rifle would say "Just dont touch me and I'll shoot good groups" A hunting rifle would say "Hold me correctly and I'll shoot good groups" Another vote for how hold and how to read seating depth and powder charge groups for factory rifles.
Every day rifle content is a good for me.
Like the every day rifle stuff.
To be honest. I love it all. I just can't afford the expensive equipment. But, I take what you put out, then apply it to what I have and tweak it for my own use and ability. So please keep them all coming.
Jeffrey D.
All of it Keith. You’re doing great. This particular rifle tho is def an interest.
i love these varmint/hunting rifle videos!
I enjoy all of your videos! Please, keep the content coming.
I would love to see more development with this rifle because I have the same rifle
This was an interesting change from the normal of this channel. I for one would like to see some additional content for those ordinary shooters who are looking to improve ammo build that is not focused on competition. Great video as always!
I’m applying what I have learned from your UA-cam channel and the results are wonderful . Concise and methodical, thank you !
I would love more content like this. Many of us can only afford factory rifles and limited reloading equipment.
Subscribed! Thank you for sharing your analytical load development. I am loading for a Christenson Arm's MPR with 20" barrel chambered in 223. It's been a ton of fun applying tidbits of youtube "wisdom" to my loads to see what works and what does not. Appreciate your efforts!!!
Enjoyed this very much. Thanks and show more of this.
I like both forms of content. I just prefer more of an essence on the match stuff keith. Keep up the great work!
Keep a little variety in your videos, you have great content. Not everyone can afford the high dollar match rifles.
All presentations contain interesting stuff. Go with variety. I shoot every day rifles and do load development, so any pointers in that arena very welcome.
Sure! More different content. Why not!? I love learning anything you want to teach.
I had a Rugar stainless all weather 223 in the late eighty's that would shoot less than 1/2 minute on black hills ammo 52 grain if I recall. A guy mounting the scope over torqued the rings working on the mounts so I sold it thinking the gun went bad. Never had one shoot like that since. Best to do your own work.
Id like to see the regular rifle content
Great content Keith. Oh, I forgot, what day are we leaving for dads? lol
Hi Keith! Keep it on with the "regular" shooting approach. We admire you for your match results very much, but as others said, it may set very unrealistic goals for us mortals with factory barrels, cheap rests and reloading gear fighting with hectic remington barrels 😂
The everyday rifles are far more common, so yes interested in that. But I like learning about F class stuff too, so maybe a mix of both!
More every-day stuff, please. I'd really like to see you go through a powder hunt. I do this stuff by myself so I have no friend-group to learn from. I've seen a rifle shoot 2+ MOA w 2 powders then shoot 1 MOA w a third powder, all w the same bullet. Different charge weights w the first 2 didn't do much to improve the 2+ MOA groups, but just changing to a third powder sure did. The bullet, the rifle, and the shooter (me) were capable of 1 MOA or better, but not w that powder. I'd like to see that I'm not the only one who has to go through that.
Excellent video , definitely normal rifle stuff
Finally I got a good load for my 223...55g super roo 2206h 25.5gr but doesn't like vmax or hollow points got me beat..It shoots Half moa
Two of my three contracting rifles are match quality varminters but used heavily in the field, so yes this was enjoyable to watch. I was intrigued when you said it didn't behave like a match barrel. It would be interesting to hear you explain, in your experience, how a match barrel behaves differently from a factory barrel. Apart from just the obvious accuracy improvement.
This was very eye opening looking to start reloading my own critter getter rounds and this was a great video to watch! Sub and bell i need more!
Happiness is a red mist in your scope...
great to see you do normal rifles also, keep it up
Really enjoy your videos very well done the hard part is making the transition from a factory varmint rifle to a semi custom or custom in changing your loading techniques sort of one of the time doing neck turning better brass annealing and trying to figure out what’s really worth doing. Switching to expander mandral dies. Lotta stuff going on and then you are shooting off a bags and steering a rifle. Do I really wanna spring for a V-4 Measure and scale. Then throw a tuner into the mix and where do you start
Great Content.
Thank You.
great video
I observed you have a different bolt shroud, than the blued original. Did you swap out the shroud, and firing pin ?
What do you mean by "had to remember how to shoot that particular rifle"? Great vid.
I load .223 for an AR and a bolt rifle to achieve MOT (minute of torso) groups at 200-600yds ... yep, everyday rifles :)
So you dont say where you started you seating depth please?
Variety is good.
Is it possible for you to do a video on levelling a scope please
ua-cam.com/video/aUpZvtvCZQc/v-deo.html
Looks like you can shoot! 😎✌️
he latterly just made the ultimate varmint rifle probably need radar to see if you hit or missed with that thing.
I've got a 8x80 on 6xc 30" kreiger on a rimrock as one of my varminters 😂
Yes
Every day rifle, please...
All mine do
I think the people looking for tips and tricks on UA-cam and loading and firearms related content don’t have access to the high level of equipment that’s required in f class.
Yes ! Everyday rifle info ! I'm always trying to improve my everyday rifle groups . A 223 sometimes a 204. Thanks ! I am trying to tweak my reloading skills. I appreciate it !
Hey Keith, I always learn something from the “fancy match” rifle content; however, the “everyday” rifle content about load development and reading the groups help me the most in my stage of learning. Thanks for ALL of the content and keep up the good work!
Kinda bummed the video was short. I definitely enjoyed this factory rifle load development
Thank you for this. Those of us using factory rifles often get discouraged with our load development when we watch you professionals working with match grade equipment. Don’t get me wrong, I love the professional content; however, it’s nice to see more realistic results for factory rifles included from time to time.
Absolutely priceless seeing you struggle with the ordinary problems of us mere mortals 😅 those match rifles sometimes set unrealistic expectations when watching pros like you reload and shoot.
Isn’t that the truth a couple it with good days and bad days and 70 year old eyeballs
Now you're speaking my language. Been handloading for my 223 700v for 10 years now. Over 4k rounds through 1 barrel. The only bullet I shoot is a 53gr vmax. I use tac and a super short cbto of 1.775 and this gun still shoots half minute 5 shot groups. I've pushed it out to 650 yards which was a blast. Please keep videos like this coming!
I love the variety, a bit about the match stuff, a bit about the standard / regular rifles, it’s all great stuff. Thank you.
Perhaps a series on how to tune/trouble shoot load development in a factory gun. I had been working with a winchester 70 classic 7mm rem mag for quite a while and I've learned so much recently I feel like I should start over. Are there any tips or things you do differently for a factory gun? What type of dies do you use for a hunting rifle? Do you do anything differently for a rifle with a sporter weight barrel?
No matter what the content, I always learn from you. However, I will most likely never own a match rifle. Therefore, I'd like to see more hunting rifle content and distances for 300 yards and under.
This was a very helpful video. I love seeing both sides of the load development process from match rifle to factory rifle.
Yes. More contents like this.
The every day rifle stuff is a nice break from match stuff. Reason being, factory rifles are usually more finicky and require match rifle techniques. Keep it up,
YES< More of these kinds of videos!!! I (like I'm sure many veiwers) like the idea of dedicated long range rifles, BUT realistically have a bunch of hunting rifles and want to be able to come up with accurate loads, with the minimum amount of componants used. I started reloading a long time ago, when it was standard practice to try multipule bullets and powders, and look for something that shot OK.. then try and fine tune. This approach of picking one powder and bullet, then trying varying charges and seating depths is such a leap forward! And obviously loading for multipule shots/ magazine capacity is needed for hunting ;)
Match rifle
Quick loads yes or no?
Barrel exit time predictions? (Reference Chris Long spread sheet /app)
Chromoly (41XX) vs Stainless Steel (416R) Speed of sound in the metal? Accuracy? Round counts?
Seating depth as a method of adjusting barrel exit time
Airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow.
I really enjoy your channel
Thanks for sharing
I just discovered your channel about a few days ago, and I have been binge watching your channel- great stuff - yes everyday rifle stuff would be great - also if you could add more B roll during your narrative that would be great! Keep up the great work!
Yes! More everyday rifle videos please
Use what you have. I put a Nightforce ATACR which I had just shot 2,000 yards with a.338 LM on a .22 to engage some targets at distance for a .22. Turns out it was the perfect scope for that.
Really like the every day rifles. Love to see more
Appreciate all the content. I like a mixture of both match and off the shelf rifles. Thanks for sharing
I watch all your content(guess I need to join Patreon!), My cartridges are 22lr, 233 and 224(Valkyrie) and only punching paper at 50-100, (200 and 300 are for when I'm better) yd range, would like to start reloading in future if price/availability reasonable, but now it's factory ammo.(considering trying to disassemble and remake into better but I'm sure it wouldn't end up better!) I glean important knowledge and enjoy your humor and presentation so surprise me! Oh your groups are already far beyond me but then why would I watch if they were something I could do myself?
I enjoy all your content. Sometimes the fclass stuff can help the everyday guys. I too shoot a 223. Ruger American predator in a chassis with 26” PVA barrel :)
I would like to see more varmint rifle stuff. Love your channel but everything I learn is to make me a better prairie dog and ground squirrel hunter. Like to see you try 53 grain VMAX check out the bc on that one. Also like to see u do a wildcat. 20 practical or 20 vartarg maybe.
Great vid! I like seeing both.
But got one thing that drives me nutz an it’s hearing accomplished shooter say “drive the rifle”. If you could do a quick vid of the basics that would be AWESOME! Thanks for all the great content. My brother n I always go over ur vids on the phone. We’re capable but boy do we struggle at time. Thanks again.
Great video, but how about a video about match brass prep after at least 4 firings? Thank you
Great information I’m shooting a tikka 223 so am interested in sports rifles as well.
Prefer more all round f class match content but enjoy all of your videos. If you shot 600yd f class with a Barnard 223rem rifle would you shoot berger 85.5hybrid or some 80gr bullet?? Our state f class championship is coming up in September. Thanks Keith.
I like both I have a Savage model 10 with a 20 inch barrel 1 in 9 twist I use IMR 4198 20 grains of powder with 55 grain V-Max and it does awesome at 100 yards I can put five and a dime will cover them up.
I'm starting load development for a Savage Axis II Precision in .223 Rem right now. I've started with Reloader 15 but I do have AR Comp if I don't get good results from RL-15. It's a 1/7 twist so on deck I have 75gr Hornady HPBT Match and for varmints I have the 60gr Hornady V-Max. I have both series (some call ladder loads) loaded at .3gr increments but I still need to finish barrel break in and the weather here in NW Wyoming is not cooperating. My Savages tend to really like a short jump to the rifling and I'm beginning with a .005" jump which works well in my Savage 6.5CM, .308 Win, and .338LM so why not the .223 Rem? Well, we'll see. I will follow (as you do) with seating depth testing to shrink groups if possible. I don't have any custom rifles, so I've learned to make factory rifles shoot for me. It's a fun challenge.
Everyday stuff for me. I can't afford the fancy rifles! Whichever way, your videos are very good!
I liked the average shooter and rifle approach. Thanks
I like both every day rifles and match rifles content
Love this stuff, especially from the caliber of people you are Keith! Would love to see the hunt too!!!
