Hope you enjoy it! I have had fun building loads, some working well some not so well, lol. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

I honestly don't know, this was shot way more than your average hunting rifle and long before I started actually counting rounds...best guess is well over 1,000, likely more.

Thanks for subbing! I appreciate you watching and the sub. Welcome aboard.

Thanks, curious how so many didn't get the notification yesterday...hmmmm...back to their tricks it seems.

I do need one of those nice soft bags...one of these days I'll get one.

@@Halfmilesniper a old pillow/clothes and a backpack works in a pinch. while hunting i usually use my backpack. better than nothing. thanks again for sharing. cant wait for more videos with the lapua brass

Thank you, I appreciate hearing that...playing the one man show isn't the easiest, especially when it is most a one take kind of deal. Many times I can only "hope" everything is in frame or working.

Thanks Jerk. Most of my stuff is, or has been, amassed over time, changed or upgraded as I can. Have all y'all watching is definitely helping with those changes and upgrades and I really appreciate that,

@@Halfmilesniper keep up the good work

@@JeRKII will do...

Thanks for watching , I really appreciate it.

I never thought I would ever be able to try new Lapua....but I kept looking around and found a smoking sale on the brass at Scheel's online store. I got 100 pieces for $150...normally $250 IIRC...I can't imagine dropping $350 for 100 pieces. Keep watching for a smoking sale, they happen once in a while.

My next live will be from the hotel...most likely once I get to Mississippi. I will be hitting the road in just a few. Hopefully I can get to stop #1 in time for WTW's show this evening.

I do believe thesun shade helped keep a lot of the dust off the objective. I really had to work to get down into the rifle...but, as I said, that was an exercise to show how low the tripod could go...not necessarily the shooter, lol. Even though I was contorting to get into the rifle that low I still managed to keep it sub-MOA...barely, but still less than 1.047", lol.

No problem 😊I hate when y'all don't get a notification just about as much as when I don't get one. I appreciate you watching Gort. I wonder if the view count is low from more folks not getting a notification???? Hmmm.

LOL, just need the limbo music, lol

Lol, we'll see what the table haters have to say on this one. Ha!

Hey, don't pick on the table, I like it..😊

Thanks for watching Mike, I really appreciate it.

Howdymike, good to see you

LOL, they only burned getting into the prone...and only for a second or two. This tripod goes unbelievable low.

​@Halfmilesniper Twenty yrs ago I could lay flat on my stomach. Now I'm 4inches higher up & need a come-a-long attached to a tripod to get up. 😂

​@@HalfmilesniperI was waiting to hear Off in a cloud of dust rides the retired border ranger 😂. Fps was very consistent. Just noticed today Ramshot has a new Grand magnum rifle powder. Possibly the muzzlebrake kept the dust storm down? Great tripod! 👍💪🇺🇸🎯

Just your knees? Nearly tore my sack just watching that 🤣🤣🤣

@@billdye3530 someone else recently mentioned Gran Magnum by Ramshot...said it was pretty new. I'll have to keep an eye out, maybe I'll find some at Van's in Pearl.

I saw a subscriber count drop the day before yesterday, now it has crawled back up. Weird things are happening.

Great question. I believe it is as long as you don't just change to the magnum primers. You have to rework your load...if you are near max with your basic load using a magnum Primer can put you well over.

No I haven't, in fact I've never seen that powder. Maybe I'll find some on my road trip coming up.

There is a good article in the 2024 Hodgdon reloading manual. It’s a new for this year. Enjoy all your videos.

While that is working for you, for me this rifle stopped grouping...bad enough I even missed a deer. After scrubbing and re-seasoning with some light copper from shooting it is once again grouping under an inch and right where I aimed. On my rifle it definitely needed to be scrubbed, and now it'll last me well past my hunting days I imagine.

I remember those dinosaurs...they were still around when my boys were into dinosaurs...Bought quite a few when they were younger, lol.

It is pretty cool, too bad I couldn't get chrono data for the rubber bands though, lol.

Thanks, we'll see you this evening.

It has been...I still have a neat pistol to build too.

Hey Randle

LOL Les...I seem to always get tasked with that chore.

Same here...but this one is now sitting in my bookcase, locked and loaded and ready to launch rubber bands at a moments notice, lol.

Mini GP sent a 2nd one which I think is cooler...I just haven't put that one together yet...I will and I'll try to shorten the video time a bit more. I think it looks pretty neat "au natural"

@@Halfmilesniper 🫡

Thanks for the info, I'm not too sure many knew about him building wood mock ups. I felt I only needed patience while working with the thinnest pieces...like the one that broke when I picked it up, lol. Glad I found that the repeating loading wheel was in backwards as early as I did...guess it was a habit of working on the real deal that made me double check before going farther.

​@Halfmilesniper When you started pulling out panels of parts I just said Ohh Hell I'm glad I'm not trying this 😂. I can't pick up & grasp stuff like that anymore. Be splinters everywhere! Colorizing the next step? Then glass display case-Locked. 👍🙏

@@billdye3530 The parts where cut very cleanly by laser, I don't remember seeing/feeling any splinters. The grip panels are laser etched to look like checkering, I think I am going to leave it as is and keep it on the bookshelf behind me so it'll show up in any live streams.

​@Halfmilesniper Will look good during filming. On splinters I meant with my Arthritis everything would be in splinters. I can't wait for the red dot kit to attache to it or drum magazine lol. It's just a cool item. 👍

I think it is more puzzle like, but for younger kids it probably leans towards the toy category. Either way it makes you think and reason a few things out as you build it. It did take me less that the projected build time in the instructions, as I would expect anyone with mechanical ability could knock it out in less than an hour.

Hey there Charles...great to see you.

So far it is, lol. I might have even attempted to chronograph this thing, lol

A lot of patience 😁😁 That I don’t have. I would have tossed in the trash after 15 mins lol Hat is off to you 🤝🤝

@@JCJustice-kv2gy While there were a lot of pieces it was kind of relaxing putting this together...other than the worrying about breaking a part that didn't have an extra, lol.

There is plenty for you to study in this one...preparation for what iyou'll be experiencing in the next couple weeks, lol.

Obviously there is a small wizard inside each unit doing the calculations...I just hope they get enough to eat to stay alive, lol. I cannot say enough good about the Garmin, it is so simple and easy to set up and no more worry about shooting the chronograph, or having to consider sight over bore...which may have gotten me once or twice, lol.

Thank you and thanks for watching. I will be testing some 144 grain Berger Hybrids soon with the Staball HD...

As we are coming back up to our deer season here, we will more than likely be heading out to the mountains as we were lucky and got drawn for doe tags this year. There will be more video on the hunting area and hunt soon.

LOL...made me think of that picture of the PRC Army guy sitting in a chair holding the rifle target overhead, lol.

I eventually got to 54.3 grains and that shot OK...playing with seating depth didn't change much...I was consistently .6 to .7 inch groups. I did get some H4831sc recently that I will load soon.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, I appreciate that.

Good point, but if you noticed the barrel's angle when I loaded and the angle when I shot are the same. I had the rifle set up on my rear bag, aimed at the target, only when I got into the rifle did the barrel lower while settling in, then brought back to the target. Plus there was a good 1,000 feet of mountain above the target on this particular range. But that can definitely be an issue on a much flatter range with a standard berm, thanks for point that out.

@@Halfmilesniper welcome. I just get really anxious when I see somebody close the bolt and they're not exactly ready to fire immediately after.

No problem 👍that is exactly why I ran the chrono for these shots even though I had chrono'd the load a couple days before...weather differences.

@@Halfmilesniperdo u know if h4831 is a temp stable/extreme powder? are you using h4831sc or regular? id be curious at what point the temp difference matters, since we mostly load when its hot and hunt when its cold.

@@allthingsconsidered3211 Both H4831 and H4831sc are supposedly less temp sensitive, but still somewhat affected. I haven't seen anything that gives a definitive high/low but consensus seems to be it is more affected by the overall conditions rather than just temp. I have been using H4831 but recently obtained some H4831sc that I have not yet loaded.

ive also seen low pressure cold wet air make the bullet go faster. id be curious on a video if youre posting. hot vs cold and wet vs dry. thanks for sharing

1123 yards for the buffalo target.

Glad you enjoyed it

It really is and my cameras do not do the area justice. Thanks for watching!

What a time to forget about a little spin drift, lol...on camera! Thanks for watching!

No problem Randle, I saw you weren't feeling well during WhoTee's so I figured you would be hitting the rack.

I am still trying to find some 153.5 or 156 gr Bergers...they have been unobtanium, but I did find some 144 gr Berger Hybrids and I will be testing those soon.

Thank you Sir...and thanks for watching, I appreciate it.

It is most definitely some beautiful countryside there...mountains and some very wide flat valleys. I appreciate you watching, thanks!
