I’m not an expert but…Yes, yes and yes. I have worked up loads for approximately 15 different 14.5/16” AR barrels over the years and used a variety of components. I’ve fired up to 3 different rifles with the same ammo, on the same range trip thus minimizing (not eliminating) the chance for environmental factors changing the outcomes. In my limited experience, a new Noveske SS barrel will be more than a 100fps faster than most standard chrome lined barrels. And even then, that same Noveske SS 16” barrel is faster than my Ballistic Advantage SS 16” barrel. 100 fps isn’t at all surprising. I am surprised though that your SD was THAT different, mine have always produced different results, but not 50%. I gave up on weighting individual charges. I thought it would produce better results, but it didn’t offer any better ES/SD’s over single throwing charges from my RCBS Uni-Flow. I don’t currently do the kind of shooting where it would matter anyway. I also didn’t know Geissele made barrels in that style, I use a Super Duty quite often. Thanks for the video.

Kreiger 223 barrels are known to be “tight”, thus higher velocity and pressures. I would be curious to learn the bore/groove diameter of the geissle. Are they on the larger side of the spectrum? Then 100fps difference doesn’t seem the out of the question. This is a reason I like to keep barrel Suppliers consistent, very easy to interchange ammo and tweak loads barrel to barrel.

I am a data monger. I have had several new barrels speed up after 150-200 rounds, then stabilize. I typically run a group test around 200 round to make sure my bullet recipe is still relevant. Extruded powders give me double digit SD's, while ball powders give me low SD's. That being said I have double digit SD's on my varget loads and better groups than my H335 loads with single digit SD's.

you mean John Hollinger right ?

Konrad, new wanna-be high power shooter here. Any ideas on a rifle to get me started? I’m VERY familiar with the AR platform because of military experience and training with SWAT guys, but Insure love the classics, e.g., M1, M1A. Am an old Mauser fiend, too (although I really can’t afford the ones I used to own since getting married 😂). Unfortunately, I have had virtually no experience with the Garands and M1A’s.

Can you tell me what the shot value was on the first shot?

I love how a “5.56” is considered “high power!! Please….

Does your NPA move a lot as your shooting prone? I find that I have to constantly readjust my in NPA

I bought a March scope and everyone says it's the best. It is so blurry for me and there is no way for me to correct it. I pick up my White oak scope and it's crystal clear I have no idea what's going on perhaps I have a bad scope.

The video was nice, but the car sounded like an old tugboat...I'm glad you didn't get a speeding ticket...but I would pull your tired 'numbers matching' out and pop in some crate horsepower...pep up your Sunday eh?

who made your shooting glasses?

What do you do for your data out at the 600 target?

where did you get yours?

Thank you so much for the detailed description on how to rig and use a service rifle sling; I'm starting to shoot SR after many years of smallbore and match rifle, and your videos on the various aspects of XTC have been invaluable. One question: do you do anything with the tail on the leather sling while you're in sitting or prone, or do you just let it hang out where ever it lies?

For me, the key to good standing scores has simply been a 50 minute daily practice schedule alternating dry and live fire for a total of 40 rounds. Plotting all shot calls but not strikes. Then, at completion of firing I plot strikes. This routine will first identify need to refine zero and over episodes build stamina, as well as quick adjustment of NPA (exacting NPA adjustment delivers an almost wobble free position). I learned this schedule from a champion USAMU shooter and after only three weeks with the practice I went from a 92 to 96% average which helped me get leg points needed for US Distinguished Rifleman Badge. At any rate, until I became informed of the USAMU practice routine I was a mess in the standing position.

Thank you for the instructions

is everyone using ARs now? i miss my highpower days in Ohio and at Perry......

Great video! Thanks for the ride, I really enjoyed it!

This is why I prefer crosshairs. I think they psychologically force you to approach the target on the straight (left-right/top-bottom), not like a cat chasing a laser pointer:). Traded my white oak scope for one with crosshairs, even though it was better for prone.

Thinking about buying the White Oak Rifleman Scope. Do you still use your's in competition? Which scope would you recommend? Enjoy you videos very much!!

Some seriously high end pieces parts laying around.

What kind of camera is that? I'd be very curious to see what I'm doing while shooting.

Scatt is best? very thanks

Really enjoying your videos. Can you do one describing your basic cleaning regimen and cleaning interval? I’m doing a field strip and clean every couple matches to ensure reliable functionality, but am not sure about how often to clean the barrel, with what, etc. thanks!

0:07 Aren't those called birth control glasses? Great video !

Really great video! Thanks for putting this out there. I've been working the last year to be more active on the trigger, and found out that I was doing the same thing where I wasn't prepped on the trigger as I started down toward the target.Lots to think about and learn from.

Если смотреть на спуск в процессе выстрела, то видно, чтго нет сопровождения выстрела в процессе обработки - палец после спуска не убирать со спускового крючка и продолжать прицеливание и всю процедуру выстрела 1-3 секунбы. после производства выстрела

I love this video. It would be awesome if you said where the actual hit was to check if our call was accurate based on your sight picture.

Never seen this type of shooting with AR:s before..are you holding the fingers over the ejection port?🤔

That is likely the most helpful illustration of my problem I’ve ever seen Konrad! Very familiar looking and reassuring as well. Now, to be really ready first time it’s there…

Dam. I’m exhausted just watching you shoot.

One of the smallbore silhouette channels goes on about being "active on the trigger", of course those are primarily single stage.

What a great video. Learning so much from this. Thank you

Mr.k Why is it that you hold rifle at close to receiver at the balance point when in basic army rifle training, they teach holding out on forearm. I see they all hold close in standing position. I'm confused about if there is a rule or why

As someone who has gone head first down the bullseye rabbit hole, the biggest difficulty with offhand is to establish your hold in the center, then accept your wobble, embrace your shakes, and just pull straight to the rear. more often than not it's a 9 or 10 when you do that. the gross errors in the 7 ring and out almost exclusively come from poor trigger control /some gross error on your own part.

Thank you for doing a standing trigger cam video! It’s very helpful to see what a good shooter’s hold looks like on standing. Being inexperienced, it’s hard to know when to move on from working on the position to the shooting. After this video it’s obvious what I need to work on. Thanks again!

what scope are you using ? thanks for the video!

Love this guy & love these videos!

Your hold is WAY more steady than mine. I mean, I'm just a sharpshooter, but it's nice to see what an experienced shooter is seeing when shooting pretty consistently above 95. I know, for me, that my reticle is going to come down, through the black and then back up again. Knowing that, I know my time to shoot is when my reticle is coming back up. As I'm coming down onto the target, I've already taken up my second stage and am ready to fire. Great videos, have you found or have any tips for steadying your position in offhand? I only have a creedmoor canvas coat and I wear a hoodie underneath it or the shooting jersey

What a coincidence. I’m literally at the range about to shoot my third 20rnd string of standing practice. I’m so glad to finally see what a good shooter is seeing through his scope during a live string. Although your hold is much steadier, I seem to spend a lot of time below the black as well. And I tend to call a lot of shots on the 10 line at 4 o’clock. I think I’m trying too hard to bring it back on the ten ring. Not a lot Drifting going on. I took a 2day class at Dead Zero in Tennessee last month and came away with a lot of things to think about. I also doubled my target distance in dryfire from 13 to 27 yards. I think With the amount of sway we have in standing using really short range dryfire distances magnifies the sway and may be counter productive. Love that camera. It really makes for outstanding training videos.

Awesome! Thank you Konrad. I personally hate it when my reticle drops below the level of the target. I always feel like having the Article below the level of the target will invariably cause me to subconsciously tense up to for it into the black. Great video!

Thank You. If I can increase my standing scores significantly I could just barely get out of the Master category.

Love the scope cam.

Nice!

Brother had a 72 red Stingray being the mechanic in the family I rebuilt it front to rear.Kept it stock . The sound of the exhaust the same as here. Brother passed at a young age. Car is gone This was back in the late 90,s.

Reminds me a lot of the (now) old USMC ARQ. I'd love to go back to the flat range with my logbook and a 20" rifle and brush up on my loop sling technique and rifle fundamentals

What is that free float tube called? Looking for one myself

I had a 72 LT-1 but i got Married have two Beautiful girls so i sold it and the x-wife now ! wish i would have Kept it

Could not agree with you more. Not a big fan of electronic targets.

Was contemplating showing up to the Tuesday Night Irregular Rifle league today, so I watched this video. Was pleasently surprise to see I recognized those pits..
