This guy talking is literally a d1 yapper I bet he could go pro because of all that useless yap

I'm surprised at those velocities for that case... With 243 in factory r700 ..I'm pushing 75gn VMAX at 3100 fps... I'm happy with a mild load for case and barrel life...but...I'm wondering how much I'm leaving on the table..before pressure signs arise... 6.2 inch drift at 300 yards...10mph .90 degree.

My wife is a LEO, she comes to the range with me and really works on her drills, most of her coworkers do not. I think it would surprise a lot of people to know how little most LEO's actually shoot. Many of them only shoot on the annual qual. I criticize anyone who carries and rarely shoots. Going to the range with drills written out and scoring is the best use of your time.

I got the Norma tipstrike 76gr at Raven rock 😊😊😊

Try the Norma tipstrike 76gr flat base. I am using IMR 4064 @3813, 5 shot groups .3 - .5 @100 yards, Lapua brass, CCI 200 primers, coal 2.350. I tried varget and it was NOT CONSISTANTLY so I switched to IMR 4064 😊😊😊😊

lol, he says barrel length is significant ... so we're shooting apples to elephants, then they pull out a 24" so now we're comparing apples, elephants and a peanut from its bag ...

30 shots from 7 yards away. This is not a difficult qual. Even with movement, not difficult. Try a qual that uses the 15, 25 and 50 yard lines, with yes, pistols, time limits and 50 rounds. Thats a real qual.

Great video, thanks for making it!

What clip on is that?

I would really love to see a follow-through on the last shot. You were putting the gun away almost faster than the draw.

For more accurate results like you mentioned at 9:41, is it possible for to remove the ejector on the AI at the user-level? I know AI has some proprietary/unique things - not sure if this is one of them or not. Haven’t seen any videos on AI bolt ejector removal.

This was super helpful. I was looking for a hunting rifle and a lot of friends were giving me different advice and I thought I wanted a 6.5 but now I'm locked in lol

knowing this is the air Marshall qual I now wish I went and applied for it because my course for the sheriff's office was way harder, but this looks fun

So many super pros giving out all that sarcasm and advice. Please give me your KZbin channel name so i can look it up so i can learn from super pros! 😂

Test is completely invalid by sticking a magnetospeed on the muzzle. It induces deflection and any experienced shooter knows it changes groups

Very good informative video. For a dasher (I shoot dasher myself) the groups are dissapointing. I think you have a constant problem whith double grouping. Could be wind doping, trigger pressure, parallax, bag technique, flinch, cheek weld, scope mount. Secondly, I would recommend a proper load development meaning finding the right powder charge in smaller increments. then seating depth. Try the Berger guidelines for finding seating depth with VLDs.

Uses a red dot… embarrassing

What were the distances ?

For every round of 6.5 creedmoor you fire, you grow an extra hair on your labia

Good job, overall. Thanks for sharing the video. But, first shooter: No eye protection? Thumbs down. Reloading from mags that are not concealed? I don't know, but probably doesn't meet the standards of the qual. Second shooter: Good job. :)

Good work out there fellas!!

nice eye protection

Worthless video. Why would anyone use a heavy rifle for hunting?

My 308 has a 26" bull barrel

Thank you for taking the extreme amount of time it takes to make this video and for all the info🤙

Great vid

How many yards was this at, as it didn't look like they ever changed distances??

No this isn’t the qualifying course, it's in a plane, on the move, maneuvering aisles, seats, passengers, they're known as great marksman because they are, there's no true measure outside of actually firing the course, this is just click bait

Good work! Any chance for a bore scope video and maybe round count. Also appreciate the second round of loads to tinker and verify your results. Since Hornady has started the “your groups are too small” what’s your best 20 round group?

I’ve been debating whether or not to mount my Surefire brake on my new 6.5 for use with my Socom 7.62 can. Wasn’t expecting to see that content in this video, but nice surprise to help my decision. Enjoy your content, keep it going!

What’s the highest magnification but still have decent clarity are you using through your day optic when running your Iray ? Thanks!!!

I think your getting baffle strikes or something

If you are going to do a video Then stay away from people shooting so we can hear you

3670?! 🤌 dats a spicy meatball

The eldvt is a secant ogive and very jump sensitive

Great video production.

I swear Berger Bullets pays this guy to say Hornady bullets blow up!

What thermal do you have mounted?

This comes at a great time. Looking to get started in reloading for a centerfire rig and this really helped give me a rundown of the process. Thanks for the video!

I notice out of a mag, you may have 1 round get hung up a little. Does this happen with your competition bullets since they are a little longer?

You're pretty

Another thing for note if you switch from solid copper to leadcore, you have to clean your gun. It will affect your Accuracy

I’m disappointed in the lack of fudd comments here so far.

The really pisses me off when I forget to reset the conograph

I see why you were asking about 1st shift shift after bullet change. I think that's exactly the culprit of that first shot when you switched from Match loads to the 87 VLDs. What can was on the gun at the beginning before you put TBAC on?

Great video, load development is always something you wonder if you are crazy or stupid while doing it. So I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that goes “wtf” while developing.

JBM only working on IOS apps? That's unfortunate.

Fantastic job on the video. Informative, entertaining, and impressive to watch.

Even if you clean between different bullets/charge weights you will still need to fire a few spoilers to prefoul the barrel as you will definitely be taking follow up shots. Heavy for weight/higher BC mostly works. Reduce the exceptions and you will have a greater success. Happy hunting.

Been doing the same thing but with 6 creed. Using 80gr TTSX for deer and coyotes. I swap barrels every year at the end of PRS season and then use my deer and coyote rounds as a break in for the new barrel. Been using the same load for years, usually half moa or less depending on the barrel. Running 3450-3550 and could go hotter but I don’t really see why. Slap the action in a carbon stock instead of the heavy chassis and it’s pretty manageable for a deer and thermal setup
