22 Nosler - Part 3 - The path of least abrasion

[@georgeleeper2419]

Can definitely see and feel your frustration best of luck brother

[@jubaldurden4638]

My summer has been too busy to reload and shoot much. Your videos are giving me my fix that I need. I look forward to your reloading and range videos everyday. Thank you.

[@Oregun]

Buy a box of factory ammo and compare the brass to your reloads. Great series, keep'em coming.

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

texpat I suggested that after day 1.

[@nicholi2789]

You seriously crack me up man. Love your videos.

[@lucasgardner6189]

Morning Johnny, I'm gonna go out to the homestead today and check out my chamber, to see if there's anything going on in mine. I'll let you know

[@MarkiusFox]

Can certainly tell you're on the Monster energy drinks. lol

[@DanielBoone337]

"Tampon on a stick" LMFAO Jesus man you crack me up!!!!

[@billsmith5166]

Great series. You may want to test with the first bolt just to see if the extractor profile exerted more side pressure on the cases during extraction.

[@Burnoutman721]

What was the SD for the CEF223 if you take the first shot out? Seems as if that load was off and the other 4 shots made a good group. Also i agree with everyone else send that barrel back.

[@Pest789]

I haven't watched past the intro yet, but you can drill and tap a fired case for the cleaning rod thread to make a lap that fits the chamber exactly.

[@o2wow]

Make a custom chamber polisher. Take the most beat up case and cut a slot in the case head or pound in a Phillips bit into the primer pocket to allow you to turn the case with a drill or electric screwdriver. Coat the case with Flitz or similar metal polish, insert and spin with your drill. Or order a chamber hone and some honing oil from Brownells.

[@WestDesertShooter]

Really interested in seeing tomorrow's vid. It's awesome getting updates every day man. This has been great September on KZbin might seem pretty boring haha

[@THutch556]

Great job JRB on this series. Nice choice on tomorrow's selection. Every time I Test a new barrel I grab 69 SMK and Varget. It always performs. As far as the barrel, I know your seeing improvement as you work on the chamber, (nice job on that by the way) but that just proves something is not right. If it were me that barrel would go back. I would Let them replace it, that barrel Might have headspace issues as well. You're at minimum charges and to me the whole point of 22 Nosler is basically it's a hot rod .223, and if you can't somewhat hot rod that barrel with hot loads I'm not exactly sure the point of .22 Nosler. Odin I'm sure will repair or replace the barrel, and if that don't work, then I would get my money back and WOA for the win. WOA as you know is so much win for the money. As always, thumbs up on the Vids JRB. Great stuff.

[@shanerhodes925]

And groups it's hard to tell until you work the loads up

[@jacobcole5023]

Your issue is headspace. If odin works sent you a bolt with the barrel then it is head spaced accordingly. Typical go no go difference is roughly 4 thousandths of an inch. Your fired brass measured 7-8 thousands larger than the unfired brass which could lead to the extraction problems you were having. Your gun was having extraction issues with or without the gas system involved.

[@Thorsaxe777]

Johnny, as I stated in my last video, We are all behind you in this brother, However, You should not have to be doing anything to that barrel at all. Odin makes barrels and they should say to you without hesitation to Send It Back to them because of quality control issues that they might be having on their assembly line and machines. True? What would you do If you were Odin Gun Works? Maybe there is a disgruntled employee that needs to release from the institution feeling that He/She has no longer anything to offer them at Odin. The bottom line is You Shouldn't have to Do a Thing to the Chamber on that Barrel. You bought it to Shoot it, Not Fix it.

[@Liemciemdk89]

file down raised ejector mark then see if it spins freely in shell holder good. Use those 50 shot brass bump the shoulder back .002-.001.

[@doneime875]

I would expect these numbers and groups to clean up as the chamber smooths out and the charge weights increase. In my experience, low charge weights are henky

[@truebornsonofliberty554]

I'd send the barrel back. These low pressure loads/brass still showed extractor marks and shoulders softening signs, although minimal. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable firing max loads (which is the whole point of 22 Nosler), with that barrel. Considering they've agreed to take the barrel back, I'd do that ASAP, so they can inspect for manufacturing defects. I still contend it's out of spec.

[@BoltActionReloading]

I wonder if the pressure signs indicate that the bullet is not releasing from the necks correctly. Insanely high neck tension = high pressure. (Worse than loading into the lands) Its like you plugged your barrel and lit the powder off. Your ES / SD numbers are so bad it seems that almost has to be the case. This may be a case that you reloading saved you from blowing your face off. Hot factory ammo would probably be insanely worse. Do you have dimensions on the neck of the case to know how much it expanded?

[@reelamor9950]

Can't wait for the match kings

[@longridge3078]

My 16" 300BLK with pistol gas was doing the same thing to the head and rim. I went to a heavier buffer and problem went away.

[@longridge3078]

Try going up a couple weights on your buffer to increase the dwell time of your bolt. It seems your case is still under pressure while the case is being extracted. The bolt face is rotating while the case is still under pressure. That's my guess.

[@kssgcasper797]

I would think the same, but he was getting the same damage with the gas system off...

[@saviostrawn8737]

Long Ridge This is a really good point. I lightened my buffer for my 300blk subs, and the supers started getting some real messed up cases.

[@kssgcasper797]

I agree with he others, I wouldn't mess with trying to homeboy engineer a smoother chamber, Odin should have finish reamed/polished the chamber, if it wasn't done they should fix it. I'd either send it back for them to work over or I'd send it back for a refund and then buy that White Oak or Stoner barrel instead to try...

[@dotman1334]

I understand the need / want to load your own, would be an interesting benchmark to try Nosler's loaded 55 or 77 grain factory loads to get another benchmark.

[@spyderxtra777]

becasue you can tune reloads for the best performance, you never have to worry about finding ammo....oh and his reloads are costing him about $0.30/round instead of $1.25/round for factory ammo.

[@dotman1334]

spyderxtra777 understand completely, just a suggestion for a baseline.

[@spyderxtra777]

Yep its probably a good idea

[@jonjames4281]

Glad to see it working. Still, shame on odin for letting that out the door. hopefully you can get it to perform as good as your WOA SPR. going to be interesting.

[@sweet65mustang]

I know this is old and too late but a person should ALWAYS start out and verify proper function of a new barrel with good factory ammunition. If you have problems they'll blame your reloads. Worse case scenario the barrel is defective and you get injured. Reloads, your a bad reloader and its all on you. Factory ammo, they're liable.

[@gunman9090]

I know you never thought of it but maybe just try some factory Ammo

[@vango3820]

i went with a reinforced polymer upper and lower. im having to reload my own ammo because i cant find .22 nosler ammo anywhere

[@ohiovikingsfan9294]

I would send the barrel back and let them see if they can tell you what is wrong

[@stevenmarcus2709]

Tipton polymer picks🤙 chamber cleaners

[@Boringbogan]

White oak armament? Have had good luck with them in other calibers. Not at all the cheap option though :/

[@xxshooterxxdm]

2.260 coal and when she gets around 28gr varget she will start humming. Same luck with the 77gr 2.260 when she gets in the 27 gr range of varget

[@ScornfulHippopotamus]

Send that barrel back. Let Odin make it right. You're at minimum loads, getting pressure signs, and you're not getting any performance that you couldn't get out of 223. I don't doubt that 22 nosler is capable of awesome performance when it works right, but it's pretty obvious that your system isn't working right.

[@DL33TT]

How about that elk hunt?

[@mblake0420]

What causes imprint of ejector hole

[@longridge3078]

M Blake Jr The bolt face rotating while the case is still under pressure.

[@theTIVANshow]

Get a HM defense barrel

[@shanerhodes925]

Nice but I think it still nerds maybe just a hair more polishing and the ejector needs to be cleaned out punch the pin and spray it out with gun scrubber or something like that and oiled lit lie I think that's what I would do

[@AgileK9TopDog]

You mention damaged brass at higher mv. That has the smack of headspace problems. If your headspace is off, you may not blow your face off but you will never get precision.

[@Morphz_Unlimited]

Why not purchase some quality off the shelf Ammo and do a comparison to your reloads? That should provide you with a more definitive answer as to what the issue is.

[@tallyman15]

Antonio Cole I agree. Like his videos but never see a factory load comparison.

[@RonzRocketz]

You need to watch more of his videos.

[@xnorcal831x]

Weak brass in my opinion isn't nosler supposed to be at like 3300 fps.

[@bigracer3867]

good morning sir

[@turbonium96]

Probably won't be happy with the ar stoner nosler barrel

[@daviddahl4148]

Sbjr31 probably be tighter than this one.

[@turbonium96]

David Dahl the reviews on them and the people that are using the bca/ar stoner 6.5g barrel have been reporting pretty poor performance.

[@daviddahl4148]

Sbjr31 I have one in 5.56 not perfect but more consistent than this. For the price the Odin should be much better.

[@66branch]

Send that barrel back not even a single powder with 1 moa accuracy? That's terrible at best! I just bought a Xcaliber barrel in 22 nosler it shoots great but I'm having gas issues not accuracy issues

[@rolliskarvellis6254]

It is a damn shame that your labor, that is exchanged for money, is not valued by O. D. in the exchange for their product.

[@vegapower454]

Good luck Johnny, please dont blow your face off.

[@WCFD5045]

Am I the only one that thinks you should get your money back on that half ass finished barrel and pick a different company? Something like that shouldn't have ever made it past quality control and the fact that it did says something about the company.

[@daviddahl4148]

I'm no gunsmith but isn't 6 thousands a little to much for a good chamber.

[@glock17games]

www.saami.org/PDF/22Nosler-Intro.pdf dunno which dimension you mean, but one could check them :)

[@drewskeez91]

I just took off a ar stoner 22 nosler barrel if your interested in it pm me has 416 rounds through it
