    This video is exactly what I am experiencing right now.
    Only it’s my fellow shooters & not the internet.
    I joined an informal 200y Varmint shoot last year. Shooting Varmint silhouettes with 3/4 to 1/2 bullseyes at 200y. Great folks, lots of fun & sharing techniques & load data. Everyone sincerely wants to help everyone.
    I finished the 1st year averaging 5th out of 25 shooters in 6 matches.
    This year I am struggling to do any better than 10th of 25.
    & I finally believe much of it, is the radical variation in my shooting techniques, due to advice I’m trying to follow, as opposed to simply shooting, the way I would naturally.
    I believe there is plenty of room for improvement in my natural technique, it’s just that I need to introduce change, 1 subtle technique at a time, not 6.
    In my sled, my rifles & loads are so easily capable of winning.
    On my rest, with me behind the gun, everything falls apart horribly.
    I can’t even remember now, how I used to shoot.
    Practice, practice, practice.
    Introduce 1 shift in technique at a time, until you either improve or determine it doesn’t suit you.
    Trust yourself & your instincts. Be very careful about blindly eating, what other truly well meaning shooters feed you.
    Their techniques may not work for you.

    I was banned from SnipersHide for saying almost exactly what you are saying. They claimed I was harassing sponsors which I was not. I was very polite and was able to put up actual measurements for various types of gear I had used. Nothing people selling super expensive gear hate more than a man with experience and integrity talking young men with credit cards out of spending themselves into debt when it is not needed. Do not tell someone to master the solid basics of precision reloading and reading the wind to get you banned! LOL There are times when you really gain a significant advantage with a more expensive piece a gear and times when it will not really make or break you! Knowing the difference comes from experience and trial and error!

    I shot H.P. for some years, and reached High Master. I will agree that accuracy and consistency in your equipment is vital and I did the same, single stage RCBS press, with RCBS dies. Loaded thousands of rounds with the combination. Everyone was looking for the winning combo. IME, what you mentioned at the top of this video about shooters is correct, and example, a minute and half shooter will have great difficulty shooting quarter minute groups, but will never admit to it. It`s always the "equipment" which is at fault.They don`t advance because they are not honest with themselves. Seems the shooter is never evaluated, just the equipment.

    I just discovered your channel and I already like it a lot. The line that meant the most to me in this video was the comment about all the medals hanging on your wall being won using a one piece die and a set of competition shell holders. Honestly, I didn't know shell holders were a thing, much less special ones for competition. I am new to long distance shooting so there are lots of decisions that I'll have to make, but I'm pretty sure that the 80/20 rule applies to long distance shooting as it does everything I've ever seen. Figuring out the 20 percent of things I need to focus on to get 80 percent of the way to competitive success is an interesting problem and might make for a good video. 🙂

    My personal experience with reloading equipment is this...
    You can make some very precise ammo with the inexpensive entry level equipment. But you'll pay for it in time.
    If you want to make a lot of precise ammo in a short amount of time... Get out your wallet.
    Precision will cost you in one way or another. It is up to the shooter to decide which is more important to him/her... Money or time.

    Guys - if you already have a good trickler - the auto trickler can be a big expense - but if you can’t afford the auto trickler get the A&D scale and a pair of tweezers - Run your old trickler and sit the load on the A&D - then add or subtract grains with a pair of tweezers until you are spot on the load you want - this way you can get the exact load every load - if you still miss then this is on you!

    Not to come out of left field, and the scale test sounds fun, but I'd like to see you test freshly loaded ammo, vs the same ammo thats sat loaded for a month, vs ammo that sat but was seated long and then given a final seat at the same time as the fresh ammo.
    Ive tried to test this and i think it does make a verifiable difference but im not confident enough in my ability to weed out unintended variables to be confident.

    • @winninginthewind
      @winninginthewind  Рік тому +1

      I've tested left over ammo that was over a year old and was final seated just before firing (seating force was within normal values). To my surprise, it had a much lower velocity than expected when compared to freshly loaded ammo. I can only theorize that the powder humidity level changed over time. Additional testing showed that storing the already slow loads in a desiccated container for a month did not improve the velocity much leaving me with a question as to the exact cause. My problem is finding the exact cause. I don't want to put a guess out there. I will only make a video about it *if* I can prove it.

I believe the scales if used by the same person are only a reference. The only time it would be different would be if I gave you a load to be dropped on a different scale. Perhaps an older Ohaus beam, a medium price, load cell electronic, reloaders, brand, and an A&D , analytical balance

    200yds, easy. 300yds with 5.56/6.5cm with good box ammo, no issue. 400yds wasnt too bad with 5.56 & 6.5cm but Bulk .308 ammo is where i had issue. 300yds i wasnt sure i was hitting every time. Recoil made spotting my shots impossible and the targets being a couple feet off the ground made it impossible for me to tell where my miss went.
    I for sure have new respect for getting on target at 400+. My goal was to hit a 800yd plate... Its going to take some more shooting time.

      So, should I tell them all "yes" and then hang all of the stuff together? I might need to do a bit of planning...

      ⁠@@winninginthewindmaybe they know something we don’t. Maybe there’s a demand among precision shooters for putting fake eyelashes on their new garden gnomes. Another youtuber I watch had a similarly incongruous sponsor and he routinely made fun of the company whilst reading the ad copy but whatever he was doing was working for them, they sponsored him for ~2 years.

    If you're wanting to do long range precision, only listen to those who are doing it well.
    There truly are only a few people out here worth listening to.
    I stayed confused for an embarrassing amount of time before realizing just how fractured the shooting community is. Lots of hunters out here talking about long range.
    Their definition of long range is 3-400yrds. Lol

    I use rcbs m500 scale with a camera on zero zoomed in and I've always thought it was just as accurate as the A&D
