Meet the Tactical Texan

Just a little introduction of me, The Tactical Texan, and what this channel will be all about.
Why shifting point of impact with the plugs, you can do that with your scope adjustments. I would like to see if you can tune it to differences in group sizes
Hello, I would like to know the distance from the end of the barrel to the first hole of the compensator to obtain the best accuracy. Thank you.
I have a 300 vanguard, but will I have to get the barrel threaded or am I missing something.
They recommend "hand tight", because that clear thread lock/lock tight they provide will hold anything lol!
WHAT !!! Grease your threads Sir.
Tacticam plz or it didnt happen.
nice review, do you think there is a difference in recoil between the gen 2 and gen 3 with recoil? Not interested is the tuning part so much, If yes, how much more recoil percentage does the gen 3 remove? Thanks...
Nice review brother
Less ‘going ahead’ and more doing achieves faster results. Need to get enough done before you do a recap.
How mandatory is the tuning process??
It's really not. I'd say if your a right handed shooter take all the plugs out of the right side and half out of the left. Then reverse that advice if your a left handed shooter. Quick and easy 😁
I got the gen 3 little bastered on my 6.5 Creedmoor. It was expensive but worth the money. Didn't have to change the zero at all. No recoil. Feel like a 22 caliber
Based off your knowledge and experience, would you recommend this brake for a .300 win mag? The rifle weighs about 7lbs.
Maybe trie the big bastard.
Hey David, great video! Didn't know you had a channel, but glad I found it
Do you still have the gen 2? Interested in selling it?
Just picked this brake up from opticplanet lastweek for $160. Did you notice any change to point of impact from no brake to putting on this break?
I love your reloading area. Nice and organized. Do I see one granular of powder on the platen of the scale when he loaded he fist round? LOL Which would now make his charge under. Very slightly. 38:16 Yes Im a perfectionist. Great Video btw. Keep up the good work.
Definitely cool vid. Im new to PRS and purchased DFATS system so this is helpful..
Nice xclass!
Do you second tumble with out steel pins
Yep, to get the lube off. I've used the pins in the past and they're just a pain
Hi. That was an amazingly clear video and process. You explained it really well and is likely the process I will use. The only thing I might do differently would be to delay the main clean until after the case trim etc... just in case any particles of brass remained. Thanks again mate, great content.
Hey if you're in north texas you need to give me some classes on my 300 win mag. Lol
I actually do live in bowie. If you want to hit me up on Facebook my name is David Mills. It's got a pic of me and my son with hearing protection on. I'd be happy to chat and maybe even shoot with ya
I'm gonna decent here and say on a properly setup target rifle there should be no barrel compensation only recoil reduction. If a rifle has a center of gravity and butt pad aligned with the barrel no comp is necessary. Now if you have a lever action rifle my bets are off.
Excellent! Decapping dies are very inexpensive and a good first step. Do your ever clean your dies with brake cleaner or carb cleaner? I live in Alaska...did you purchase your annealer on the internet? I like your step 2 expander mandrel for 0.002" neck tension...do you remove the expander ball from your full length sizing die? Thanks!
Okay here goes 😁 Yes, I clean my dies with brake cleaner every 5-700rds it keeps them slick and shiny. I did purchase my annealer online through the annealeez website. It truly is a top notch piece of kit and makes annealing one of my easiest operations. As for the my FL die, I either remove the expander button completely if im wet tumbling and have already removed the primer. Or, if your corn cob tumbling you can take a dremel and grind the button down to where it doesn't actually "expand" the neck but you still get the functionality of being able to remove the primer with the pin. Usually when you remove the button you lose the primer punching pin as well. I hope this helps!
@@thetacticaltexan8102 Thanks. I also use a decapping die to remove the primer, and completely remove the decapping/expander ball rod from my full-length resizing die. I reload for hunting and some of my cartridges were nickle plated brass so I clean my dies frequently as nickle is hard relative brass and I don't want scratched dies. Thanks.
Great video, these type of muzzle brakes are new to me and it was a big help having a video on the installation. BTW - are the drones behind you for racing or AP?
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The drones are for racing, I did that for about 4 years but have since sold them to shoot matches full time.
Hi The Tactical Texan. Very helpful video, thank you kindly for posting it. Just so I understand you correctly, when you said at 13:21 "I was hitting, watching it move", you don't mean that's where the shots were hitting - you mean that's where the scope/rectile moved to - as in that postion? Hope that makes sense mate. Cheers - Stu :)
Correct! I was paying attention to where the reticle moved to due to the recoil. Then adding or removing the port plugs to try and keep it centered on the target
@@thetacticaltexan8102 thanks mate sorry about the late reply. Cheers Stu
Did APA have a sight-in procedure they recommended that was different than yours? Trying to understand what this is going to do for me vs an established zero. From the standpoint of hitting where you aim or are dialed for, are you using this as an attempt to keep any barrel movement as close to zero so you can judge each impact better? If it keeps the crosshairs glued to the target through the shot then it makes perfect sense. Where you ended up at, did you just add a click of windage to the right to complete the zero? Thanks for the video.
Sorry if I was unclear. You will use a standard zeroing procedure with the scope. The tunable ports on the muzzle break are to aid you in staying on target through recoil so you can see your hits/misses. And it works incredible for that. I can tell a difference in where the rifle ends up with every port I open/close
The Tactical Texan Thanks
Is that a FOD can on the second shelf????
No, I wish! Lol
Not sure I agree with your tuning procedure. My guess is to tune to the return to point of impact. Tune POI with scope.
Not sure im following what your saying. You want to tune to your POA. The closer the rifle ends up to your POA the easier it is to spot your hits/misses. Unless of course im completely misunderstanding you?
Great content. Were you able to see impacts better and did it minimize recoil?
So I came from using an APA gen 2, so the lateral recoil management was the same. But the URP ports helped tune the muzzle rise a ton. In my opinion definitely worth the upgrade to not even come off the target
Nice upload, can’t wait to see more videos! Did you check FollowSM . c o m?? It is a great way to promote your videos!!

All i could focus on was those sexy rigs behind you. ;)
They sure do look good whether in the air or on the ground 😁😁😁
Great video! Why did you go little over fat for a .260? I have a lighter Tikka CTR 20 inch in 6.5 Creed and one seller was recommending me to go with the fat over the little because the rifle was light. What should I go with?
Honestly I've never used the fat so it's hard for me to compare. I have heard from other shooters that the fat does a marginally better job than the little. If it's a super lightweight rifle I say go with the fat for the $30 extra and be safe. My rifles are heavy so the little B has always been good. Hope this helps! Any more questions don't hesitate to ask
What one did you go with? I just ordered the Fat on the recommendation of veteran long range shooter. Mine is going on my 6.5cm RPR and even though I will be upgrading rifles at some point I'll already have a nice brake.
@@dustyrhodes1655 I went with the little. It helps so much on my lighter rifle and will be perfectly at home on my 6mm
APA recommends the fat for .338 and larger. When asked an APA customer service representative what they recommended for a .308 he said the micro bastard would be plenty. But, because I also have a rifle that is on the lighter side I went with the fat bastard. It works great for a light weight .308 rifle.
I started with the front two tune ports open instead of the back two. My end result is dead center! You might try retuning your break starting in the front. I'm fairly certain you will get the dead center result your looking for.
Your off to a great start! Run your simulation as 2 shots then move, with 10 shots total it will be closer to a real stage as well as bring in your time management 👍👍
Thank you! I'm always looking for critiques and constructive criticism. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video.
Gee look at this guy! J/K. You are going to be way more prepared than I was for my first couple seasons! You should do well. Have fun at the first match and don’t put too much pressure on yourself.
@@mln19631 Lol, Thanks Mark. Having a mind that's always planning and preparing is a blessing and a curse for sure. I agree completely that no matter what my prep is I should go into the matches with realistic expectations and above all else HAVE FUN! Thanks for the words of encouragement
Great review of the DFAT! I shoot with Troy all year long, he is a great guy and a awesome shooter! He does a lot for the sport and new shooters here in Minnesota! All of the top shooters here use the DFAT a ton!! Great review!
Thank you sir! I've really enjoyed it so far, it has been by far the best purchase I've made. Give Troy my thanks for creating such an amazing tool.
