Height over bore goes from centerline of barrel to center of optic, not just the mount height.
Yes! I believe the 1.5 inches is from top of Picatinny to center of the rings if not center of your cross bolts to center of your rings.
Yeah, he is probably closer to 2.5 inches than 1.5
Yes, and for those wondering add 1.22" for an ar15.
Why add something at all? Get the measuring stick out (the same tool you use when building your terrace, shed or whatever), and measure from centre of bore to centre of optic. Done@@theLeadGin
@@Leopard_8119this is the way
For those that are concerned about it, I hear it's pretty affordable to have those backdoored electronic safe locks replaced with a traditional mechanical combination lock. Doesn't make what they did right... I'm just saying you can replace the lock without ditching a perfectly good safe.
And then the Feds take a demo saw to your safe. I'm just not sure what people think this will accomplish. I mean these are the people who shoot mothers holding babies. They will get into your safe. And if they can do it while doing maximum damage to your home?? Well they'll get into your safe while rocking a chubby.
Not a good safe
@@pablo4yuThe physical part of Liberty safes are fine. It's just the keypad lock. Replace that.
@@Saltpork305 It's time for a new safe... The company gave them permission to access HIS property. It does not matter that the lock mechanism is different. They didn't need a court order to open it if they had permission, meaning that by any means necessary they will pry it open anyways. You need a safe that does not grant them this permission over your property. Your property is still your property! Liberty safe does not believe this statement to be true.
@@Com-bc6jl Wrong. They gave them the combo, that's it. If you change the lock, they can't do that. That said, its super easy to cut most safes open.
The only video I’ve watched so far where at the end I feel like I’ve gained understanding as opposed to being more confused. Appreciate it thanks
your sight height info entered should be more like 2.75-3 inches
sight height is centerline of your optic to the centerline of the bore.
Your larue mount height is only measuring from the centerline of the optic to the top of your rail.
I was looking for this comment
I wouldn’t recommend telling people to select their bullets off of the grain weight. You can have a wide range of BC values at the same grain weight. If they enter in a BC value that is significantly different from what they are shooting it will cause some issues the farther you stretch it out. You’re better off using the BC value on the box, the app even recommends doing that if you don’t see your bullet.
100%
It also helps to know the bullet type. He was probably working with a BTHP vice the A-MAX as well.
Appreciated the John Galt mention and commentary! 👏
I consider myself very versed in the world of firearms and tactics but never took time to ask how to do this, realistically pride is to blame. Thank you, sincerely. I appreciate all you all do. I am actaully moving to Tennessee at the beginning of the year and you all have heavily influenced my choice my land purchase to be prepared for either the inevitable or probable future.
Hey bro, as for the safe, check out manual combination dials, specifically group-1 dials if you want a secure one. They’re pretty simple to install.
I've watched hundreds of Long Range Shooting Videos and this is the best NOOB video i've seen. Off the couch you could go out and get the gist of what to do for the ELR day. You guys are definitely entertaining.
Packed with value. Keep it up, dudes.
This was absolutely awesome! I know how much effort went I to this so props.
Sight height is center of bore to center of optic
You can use non Hornady bullets in their 4DOF calculator, still free. It has Sierra and Bergers too!
4dof is still a bad calculator, just buy AB for $30
@@mrs.vasquezz 😅😅😅
ab?

Great information. Subscribed! Thanks for a great easy to follow video
Love this. Very simple and accurate information. I’m currently a firearms instructor and definitely will take some of these tips!
I forget some people actually have gun safes and don’t just store their guns in closets and right next to the bed.
Yeah, must be nice to have more guns than you can carry lol. One day...
Good job breaking it down for the newbies
Thank you for this.
Thank you ! for a new shooter this video really helped me ! cheers
Great video, god short intro on how to start making your card/book.
This video is....DOPE. sry had to.
Well played.
All seriousness..great vid. Thank you
Dope video, bruh.
Gravity is a constant and can be accounted for pretty actually as long as you have good data regarding muzzle velocity. Most manufacturers use a 24" test barrel so depending on caliber just subtract 50fps per inch shorter and you should be close enough to get started.
Wind is the hard part.
Another great video! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks again!
Damm you guys will be next to grand Thumb. Your content is outstanding.
With the Hornady app you can do a custom load and add your own bc and gr weight. It is far more accurate as Hornady actually gives a massive bump in balistics to their projectiles. If you are doubting it just try it. Pick one of their projectiles and load the same data in for velocity, altitude, temp, etc. Then do a custom load with the same stuff and the same weight and bc as the Hornady projectile you just used.
Thanks! I’ll have to watch this a couple of times to really get it. I built a precision AR10 using a Krieger 20” barrel, shoots .65 MOA pretty constantly with reloads. This project has been a huge learning experience for me.
Dang all that money to get what i get out of a factory tikka and norma lol
@@mrs.vasquezz you're not getting rate of fire. Being able to put more rounds downrange in a given time frame, even on a DMR, is a valuable asset.
@@je2848 i can shoot 3 rds a second but ok
@@mrs.vasquezz nobody can shoot 3 rounds a second out of a bolt-action rifle, stop lying.
@@je2848 🤣 ok lets just end all long range competitions then
Good info
I love the nice camo helmet on your pretty RED dirtbike.
Got a video of you painting the Q? Looks great.
Hey great video, which plbipod are you using?
Isn't sight height in reference to the bore and not just the mount height?
Center of bore to center of scope.
Great video. I printed out a dope card with data for m193 & m855 and taped it to my buttstock for reference. I don't shoot long-range very often.
You can also use this data to decide what your optimal zero distance should be. I can shoot 0-300 yards without using holds and know my bullet will be within a 6" circle. Very handy.
A few errors and misses in this video. Sight height is optic height above the bore height. 1.5” is the height sits above the rail.
Barrel length and barrel manufacturing both affect the velocity, so the chronograph really is eye opening.
Love the video! Just the info I needed, thank you!
What are those flashcards you had at the 21:30 mark that shows your radical, data, velocity, and everything.
Bullet coefficientcey will also help as muffle velocity is only as good at the end of the muzzle 😅
Would be cool to see y’all run with Buck Doyle! Solid guy!
Theirs multiple other calcs out there that can do this besides Hornadys. I use SBC light to get started
Sidewinder Concepts just making shit easy
Too bad on the Liberty Safe in the background . I am now saying get ride of it or destroy it but I would cover up their logo with all those firearm company stickers we all have . Don't advertise for them .
We vehemently oppose what that company did. But the safe is personally owned and didn’t hurt anybody we will continue to use it.
When in doubt, use Kentucky Windage
11:04 your sight height is wrong. its sight height above bore not optic mount height you need to add the height of bore centerline to top pf receiver height too. you need to add 1.22" for an ar-15 im not certain off hand for what most rem 700 based actions are. its part of why your hits were off at range cause your sight height is wrong
The sight height was part of it, probably a bigger part was using the wrong bullet in calculator setup.
Where did you get the tan book with the reticle layouts?
I was wondering this too.
Excellent content!
Do they have an offline on that even if your not in online we can save it
whats your dope setup for the 14.5 ripcord
does anyone know what is the dope manual that you're referencing? thank you for the knowledge transfer
14:11 can’t wait for my silver a bit of gold beans & bullets ready my the lord be with you all we are all going to be tested
lol @ the liberty gunsafe in the beginning.
Which ballistic app has the best factory load ammo library?
That’s crazy, I’ve never seen someone legitimately using a Q rifle like this, with rattle can paint and all.
You should see mine 😂😎🤌🏼
Thought you dial for distance and hold for wind? Keep it simple?
Why didn’t you use 4DOF?
Dude the timing. I just got a vortex strike eagle 1-8 in the mail at the time you posted the video 😅
We planned that. ;)
I just had to send 2 strike eagle 1 to 8FFP back to vortex. Red dots somewhere in between the glass and illumination issues.
I hope yours isnt like the 2 i had to send back them finally just get a refund 😅
@@mrs.vasquezz was yours because of the dots on glass when illuminated? One of them also is so bad it washed out all of the numbers in the holds when it was illuminated.
The example looks like a 6.5 Grendel, the casings on the side are longer. Maybe it's just me, good information at any rate.
Assault pack video?
Flat wrong on scope height. Your mount is 1.5" FROM THE RAIL, not from your BORE. You need the height over BORE. Difference between scope height and bore height will depend on the rifle.
I swear on my life...
Check your premises...
Great video as always.
So what you messed up was the height over bore, i input everything on my 4DOF as you went thru it except i knew your HOB was 2.5 and not 1.5 and it spit out 6.86 mil @ 780m
I have everything set for mrads but when I go to the dope card it's changed to moa. How can I retain the mead setting?
I’m gonna go HAM in tarkov with this information. They’ll never know what hit’em
So if your scope is in mils, should you range it for meters versus yards?
I have my first rifle scope in mils, instead of minutes of angle.
Anybody know what wristwatch he's wearing? it's dope and i kinda want it.
Walter sobchack scope dope
Who’d you guys use to promote and get the UA-cam algorithm pushing your videos? Almost at the instant creation of your channel I had UA-cam throwing up recommendations for you. Obviously ya’ll have some background in this or using someone who does, videos were polished and well formatted right off the bat.
Edit: not meant in a negative connotation. It just seemed like BOOM, new channel six months ago, instantly getting pushed and running full speed.
We’ve been creating media for over 15 years, 10 of which was in this industry. So, we knew what we were doing from the start of this. 🤙
@@dirty-civilianNice. Well done videos.
And credit to God, good content to good people
Took me a week to get a good zero. New rifle, new caliber, finding what ammo it likes, then trying to get a zero finding out warden wasn’t a good idea so had to re zero in the heat😅
Are you going to sell your liberty safe?
It’s still a good safe, so no. But how they bent the knee is disgusting.
@@dirty-civilian the modern day Pay-triots bend the knee for the suppressors though. And everything else. Everyone bending knees together. Lol. That's why I'm developing kneepads with springs on them so pay-triots can do rapid knee taps.
14.99 doesn't round up to 14.1.....it rounds up to 15.
A few things. Yes, Ive replaced the digital locks on my liberty safes. Did so before their mess. I also called them to voice my displeasure.
Bigger comment was my happiness hearing an altas shrugged reference! Well done, men. If there is an author ever better equipped to predict our current society, Rand is the one. My wife grows weary of my referencing it. Trump may be my pirate
Em Liberty Safe?
Cody Wilson is the post modern Ragnar Danneskjold.
I've teased you kids so much I feel the need to shame myself. Yesterday I took a new build to the range and results were truly demoralizing. I shuffled home all head hung and defeated. And then I discovered I had forgotten to torque my scope rings...
Happens to the best of us.
Yeaaaa
Modern day John Galt would be you my friend
Great video so far, mic sounds a little harsh with static compared to usual.
Yeah, was trying some different mic positioning options.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@NicholasJonesCreative what backpack is that in the intro btw?
@@nathan-ls8yw mystery ranch urban assault.
the 24 or the 18? (sorry for the questions, just wanna get on myself)@@NicholasJonesCreative
@@nathan-ls8yw I’m going to guess the 24. I can’t remember for sure.
The only problem is, the scope height is mesoured from center of the action to center of the glass
How do they not ask for barrel length if one doesnt have a chrono? I guess they assume you have it chronographed.
Yeah, there are several other free Ballistic Calcs that might have that option.
Got to get this video to 1 mil views so they can buy a new safe
😂 Won’t turn that down.
Dope book/card? Keep up the great videos!
Rite in the Rain makes weatherproof DOPE books and index cards you can put in a QB sleeve.
Teaching us how to use a phone? Thanks
Beginning of the video at 4:40
I haven't read 'Atlas Shrugged,' but based on that description the modern day Ragnar Danneskjöld is Michael Malice.
Ehh, I can see that but it's a stretch. Audible that and buy a paper copy too.
It's just basic projectile motion :)

Ayn Rand reference(s). She would have fault with your reference to Galt. You should finish the book.
WHATS THAT SICK MUSIC??
Wasn’t the 14.99 rounded 15.00 and NOT 14.1?
👍
Bit of incorrect info in this one, also the decimal being thrown around is going to confuse new people.
half way through the video i realised i wasnt watching lucas botkins
Liberty safe?
Gonna need to replace that safe soon bud...
Lmao at all the dudes crying about his safe...send him some money for a new one.
I like yalls videos and all of the great info you share, but you have some inconsistencies in this video. Fudging your velocity is about as bad as a ball park zero. A ballpark BC is also not good. That really becomes apparent beyond 600 yards. I found out the hard way at a competition lol. Horandy lies about their BC. Applied ballistics is a good source to get 3rd party measured BCs but you have to pay for the info. Find a buddy or someone at the range with a Kestrel ballistic computer and they will likely have the entire AP library on their unit ;) Also, scope/sight height is from center of scope to center of bore; not center of scope to top of receiver. Inside 600 yards the way you set this up will work okay, but you will have to correct those errors to be precise at further distances especially on small targets. 🤙
To everyone pointing out the safe…it’s really easy to rest/reprogram the master/backdoor codes to whatever you prefer. You don’t have to switch to a mechanical lock.
Crazy how much money people have.
I wouldn't brag about that liberty safe my guy ;)
