Good stuff. 2 things, 1 leaving your bolt open between shots/groups will facilitate quicker cooling. 2 going forward I've decided to attach my ballistic card to my range finder.
-
Why the dry fire process?
-
I really enjoy all of your videos and have watched them over and over. I have learned more from watching them again. Thanks for taking the time and I love your passion
-
Using your torque wrench to remove screws may be more harmful than leaving them at your torque spec. They are often not designed to work that way.
-
🍻 The good old days of working up a load seem to have become a memory for many of us. There doesn't seem to be much if any cost savings either.
-
Excellent advice and overview on your process. It is nice to find two loads that can work well for your rifle especially with the ammo shortage and reloading supplies crisis we find ourselves in. Thanks 🙏 for sharing Cliff.
-
Awesome seeing your interview on JRE, Cliff! Always useful information coming out of this channel 😁
-
Good, practical, no-nonsense stuff! Thanks Cliff!
-
In addition to the waiting between shots, I also leave the chamber open to help cool quicker. It also prevents weird speed spreads of putting a cartridge in a hot chamber and letting it sit. One of the best thin profile barrels I've found is the new Bergara CURE carbon barrels. It stays sub half MOA out of a sled for 5 shots and opens to a little over 1 MOA at 10.

Great interview on JRE! Your YouTube channel will absolutely blow up once people are introduced to your experience and personality. All the best.
-
Great info, Thanks Cliff !
-
Fun video. For a 150 out of a 7mag, I'd say that load is on the slow side. One thing you should probably do is go shoot at the farthest distance you're comfortable shooting a game animal at and verify your drops. Chronograph readings and bc's can sometimes be a little off. Just more fine tuning and massaging of data till its as close as it can be.
-
Really like your videos I to had that same chrono but finally broke down and got a magneto speed. It was life changing much more consistent and accurate
-
I agree with the barrel cooling- I think the grass is going to grow very well there.
-
I’ve had great grouping with the Remington core lokt tipped
-
Really great vid and I never thought of group 2 diff grain bullets like you did. Nice! Great ending to the vid too.
-
I appreciate the content, sir.
-
I CANT BELIEVE YOU MADE IT ON JRE I AM SO HYPED RIGHT NOW
-
Solid lesson brother!!!!💪🇺🇸💯🦅!!! Good luck this season yall!!!!

Another tip if you want to zero at 200 yards zero at 100 first. When you move to 200 do NOT correct your windage only elevation. At 200 you can see wind deflection and if you correct for that in your zero you will be off when the wind is calm or blowing the opposite direction. This will compound at greater distance.
