- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- In this video we go over how to understand and apply the basics of long range carbine. We cover how to gather data and input it into GeoBallistics and then apply that information at range. We hope this video helps you understand how to use you 556 gas gun at longer ranges. Enjoy!
A Milliradian radical has nothing to do with the yards or meters. It’s a unit of angular measurement.
I’ve always been told to just zero in meters with a Mil reticle but after reading your comment and doing some research, you’re right. There’s no difference. Always still learning. Thank you for the info!
I was gunnna say something and than saw this comment lol
Where is the best resource to become familiarized with milrad?
@@peachfuds there’s a lot of great UA-cam videos about it.
@peachfuds don't get too caught up in it. One mil or one moa might as well be one cigarette or one hot dog at 100 fathoms.
It’s about time you dudes made another. I’ll listen to this going to work
@@ExplorinInTheWoods hope it’s helpful to you!
Hmmm, I thought I posted this, but don’t see my comment. Apologies if this is redundant.
The last 10% can come from truing your data in the app. I’d switch to G7 and start with a .190 BC for those AAC OTM rounds.
From there, waterlines on targets from 300-the end of your super sonic range. Shoot at the waterlines, note difference between what your solver says and what the actual hold was. I generally try and do 3 rounds to confirm im hitting the water line at any given distance.
Lastly, adjust your BC to best match your actual data. I’m a proponent of adjusting BC, vs muzzle velocity truing (like in GB) because I can actually measure by velocity every time I shoot, I cannot do the same for my BC. And, as with MV, BCs are not fixed and can change based on several factors.
While weather certainly has an effect, it’s surprising how little things change from 50-80 in the same location. My 20” at 800y is 5.96 mils at 90° and 6.24 mils at 50. Certainly not insignificant, but not a huge difference.
I just finished my SPR build and this was fantastic gentlemen! I can’t thank you enough! Please make more parts to this!
@@gorillagangleader2601 so glad this helped man. Thank you.
Also bought a kestrel and would love if you gave us owners insight on how to use it properly!
@@gorillagangleader2601 We will definitely start looking into making something for the kestrel.
I really enjoy this format of video. Keep up the good work.
@@kjclaus319 appreciate it man.
Enjoying the content so far guys. Newer subscriber, Nice rifles!
Welcome and thank you!
It’s Gatewood. Keep it up bro! Live your videos on here
@@mr.exploregon7065 appreciate the kind words man.
I clicked on this vid totally expecting red dots on top of lvpo's. Thanks for not disappointing.
@@derbsmcbergs glad we didn’t disappoint you!
Lpvo’s died fast didn’t they!?!!😅
Levi is an awesome name! Thanks dudes! (My name is Levi 😉)
Awesome video guys. I am located in spearfish. I would really love to come shoot with you guys and learn more about my firearm!!
@@jeffbricker6259 glad you enjoyed it!
On Hunter's rifle is he using that FEER riser with the intention of head forward on the stock for scope use, and head back w/ the riser for a little boost on the top mount dot?
Really good info
Nice...Thanks for explaining height seight because the amount of people using the actual MFG listed height (i.e 1.54) is wild. Obviously, there is a big difference between 1.54 and 2.7 when reaching out to distance.
We’ve noticed there isn’t a huge difference between the two measurements, but obviously the further out you go, the more it does affect things. Good to get it right first. It’s an annoying thing to have to troubleshoot(from experience).
@@projectblackhills I agree for a more seasoned shooter but for a brand new person .3 of a mil at 500 for example could cause some frustration. Thanks for going over it though because in my experience it's overlooked.
Hey.... I'm glad I stumbled across this channel, now I can look back and say *"I was sub'd way be when they only had 3k subscribers,"* and act as an elitist, and look down on everyone. This is great content, and this channel is evidently destine for big things.
Why do I recognize the shooter with the beard?.... I feel like I know him. You hang around Eastern Wa?
Hey man. Thank you for the kind words. We’re not sure where we want this to go in the future, but we’re happy with the current trajectory!
We’re in the Midwest. Not been around the WA yet!
Out of curiosity, what do you guys do to your rifles during the week to cause you to re-confirm zero and check muzzle velocities every Friday?
I think you misunderstood. When I said we reconfirm zero at the beginning of the weekend, I just meant at the beginning of this particular weekend. It’s not something we do every week. However, it is good to just reconfirm every now and then. Even with high end and durable optics and mounts, there can be shift during travel, weather, and use. Just visually confirming nothing is out of the ordinary before going out and shooting more expensive ammo will save you time, money, and frustration. Speaking from experience!
What level do you guys recommend? I just got into long range and I’m weighing my options with some more affordable ones, and higher end ones.
@@ConcreteCowboyx honesty I’m using a pretty cheap monstrum tactical level. I grabbed it because it was cheap and low profile. There’s definitely better stuff out there but at the end of the day a level is a level. It all just depends how much you wanna spend on it.
Could you guys do a video on tripods and bipods? I'm struggling to understand how the various tripod mounting systems interface with the platforms and which one is best.
@@RandomWorx that sounds like a great video idea
Pls correct me if I'm wrong, but as i understand it the G7 drag model is used for rounds with a boat tail base whereas G1 is used for flat based rounds
From the research I’ve gathered, you are correct that G1 was designed for a flat based round, where G7 was designed for a boat tail based round, however, the G1 drag model is easier to calculate, therefore is still more widely used for all types of bullets. Even if it is a boat tail, it can still have a G1 drag model. Even this 77gr stuff from AAC says to use a G1 drag model with a .362 bc.
@@projectblackhills true, but the dope given by your ballistic calculator will be less accurate using G1 for a boat tail bullet. Many manufacturers, such as Sierra don’t provide G7. I’ve found it’s around 0.185 for 77gr SMK.
@@BlueDevilBrewthe SMK has a G7 BC of .190, and I’ve used that with AAC OTM for the last year+ with success. Ive been told by folks smarter and more experienced than me is that they use a .185 BC for SMK (and clones) with 1:7.7/1:8 twist barrels.
Regardless, one needs to true their data and I prefer to do that via adjusting BC.
@@hajduk_lives yeah the 0.185 is the trued G7 BC that I’ve found in my 1:7 guns. Actually, the most recent lot of IMI 77gr SMK I purchased is more like 0.181.
Hornady has Doppler Radar data for most common bullets. 77 SMK was on their drop-down list last I saw, not that you're really doing anything at LR with 77gr. It's very anemic even at 400yds, let alone farther.
When you do bipod, do you you just let the bipod do the work or do you load it downward at all
With a bipod, the front of the rifle is heavy enough that it’s not going anywhere. We use rear bags to support the back of the rifle though.
Who copied who with the trendy beard? Or did you two decide together
Can someone tell me what pistol grips are on these rifles
@@user-sg8ot9vr1r block II has a Hogue grip and the other has a Driven Arms Co. VCG.
What is the complete build list? And price range?
We have videos out on both of the rifles shown here. Price ranges vary as we put these together with a mix of new and used parts.
What height is that mount with the NGAL? Do you see the NGAL in the scope view at all?
This is how I mount my PEQ and even down at 3x or 4x you can’t see it
@@BlueDevilBrewwhat height mount? I’m torn between 1.54 and 1.7 on a vortex 1-6
@@shadowsteel11 1.5
It’s a 1.7 mount. Can’t see the ngal at all.
@@projectblackhillshow is it having the dot mounted on top of a mount that high?
🎉
Dont send a 5.56 to do a 6.5's job.
What was the point of this video? To show UA-cam your guns, an app, some very average shooting, and a lack of understanding of atmospheric conditions?
Pretty much. Thanks for the engagement. If you’re not going to offer any real criticism (which we’ve shown we are open to), then why are you here?
I wonder how men made 1100 yard shots without using a Kestrel many years ago?
Its knowing your rifle, ammo and environment.
It truly makes you think for sure. I feel the same way when flying. There’s so many aids now in the cockpit that even the thought of having to pull out a paper chart and calculator is very strange to me. A lot of respect to the pioneers before us.
They threw dirt in the wind! Watched the trees and used other natural indicators. 😮
