I hate that I missed it but I was in San Antonio celebrating a grandsons birthday. Priorities. I'm an hour into the video and I've really enjoyed it so far.
I appreciate your honesty. A lot of other guys really think their way is the only way or the best way. I like the way you seek others perspective and test it for yourself
Sorry I missed the live stream; I really enjoy your work & can't wait to install your V2 tuner break on my Bergara Premier HMR Pro 6.5 Creedmore. It shoots really tight for a production rifle. FREE
I've had very bad experience with CLR. I thought I'd try it on a blued barrel because I would be able to keep it in the inside of the barrel. Leaked out pressure hole, didn't notice it until the next day where all the finish was gone on the outside of my gun. Then I looked in the inside of my gun and apparently I didn't get it all out in the inside and it either caused rust for crystalized over night to the point JB paste couldn't remove it. It was AWFUL. Wipe-out/ Patch-out is a great product. I just finished trying Bore-tech CU for first time and I'm very impressed my 26" barrel 338 was 99% clean after 27 straight patches, no waiting, no brushing. Each patch came out very stained. It also says to leave some in the barrel for protection!
I was in for a bit. Had another storm roll through and lost power right there towards the end. Figured I'd come back now that power is back and leave a comment for that extra dose of video interaction! Do what I can to help push through the RUclips suppression. Have a great weekend, Erik.
@joeydigrado382 Appreciate that Joey! Seems the worse has passed. Power stayed on the last 40 mins, should be sage now. Random southwest Oklahoma storms get wild, lol. Last 2 nights been exciting 🤣 Thanks for the good thoughts! Have yourself a great weekend!!
@@ChadKelly7 no problem man, sounds like it has been really exciting XD. Good luck battling through it and you have a great weekends as well, thank you.
thank you alot eric found your channel recently and have been diving in for the last week or so. i do have a question. what if any are positives/negative to stainless vs carbon barrels in performance besides the obvious oxidation weahter resistance.
Eric, have u ever had bolt thrust from left over lube. I use about the same process. I have a proof barrel i was working up a load for and was getting heavy bolt lift at a very low charge. I was very confused so i contacted proof. He was also confused but asked me to either clean my brass after lubing or clean it off with alcohol after i finished loading. That solved my issue. Also i was wiping off my brass before but i guess the smooth chamber couldnt take any at all.
@ErikCortina Can you say what u changed? Either wiping the brass better or not making the chamber so smooth? Now that I wipe the brass off with alcohol, I haven't had it sense.
Kelbly sent an email out to all of their customers saying "dont use CLR, you'll void your warranty" in short. I'm sure CLR on aluminum actions is terrible.
So hand cleaning the resizing wax off of every piece of brass after resizing is “not cleaning your brass”! Huh? WTF? Thats called denial! It would be much easier, less manpower, to just wet tumble the entire bulk of the brass after resizing! And much more efficient!😊
@@ErikCortina it’s more efficient because I don’t have to wipe off every case by hand! That’s a huge PITA! I throw all of them into a wet tumbler at once and walk away for 2-3 hours! Come back and they’re clean! Really clean, like new! And I didn’t have to do each one individually by hand! Takes me 5 minutes to load 300 pieces of brass into the wet tumbler and set it up. 10 minutes to flush and separate the brass from the pins. Done! 15 minutes of my time and I’ve cleaned 300 piece of brass! So how long would it take you to hand wipe 300 cases? Forever! 😎
“Walk away for 2-3 hours” I don’t see how wasting 2-3 hours is efficient. 🤷♂️ I’ll finish loading my ammo and be at the range before your brass is even dry. 😁
“Wasting 2-3 hours”? LOL! 🤡 I’m off doing other things while I let the tumbler clean the brass for me. Multitasking! You’re stuck sitting there for a hour and a half wiping each piece down by hand! That’s crazy! It’s more efficient because I’m getting a machine to do the work for me! Obviously we have different ideas of what efficiency is. For me it’s letting the machine do the work, I want to put the least amount of man hours into it. You want the fastest turn around. I couldn’t care less about turn around, I want to spend the least amount of “my time” reloading.
Man it’s mind blowing how much these top f class guys know. They take shooting to a whole new level. They literally dissect, test and improve every single little thing they use. It’s truly unbelievable how much they have learned over the years.
I used to struggle to get carbon out of my pistol barrels… then I tried CLR.
No more struggles.
Thank you Erik!
I always learn tons of information from your podcasts, Thanks Erik
Thanks for sharing Eric!
Great visual on explaining why you want the most precise powder drop you can get.
I wish I had seen this llive. It's so cool that you are getting into airguns! Love your channel.
Thanks for all the info EC 👊

Glad to hear it!
Taught yourself lathe work, especially CNC. You are one smart fella.
Thank you
Good stuff!
Great podcast, thanks Erik.
Thanks for listening

Glad it was helpful!
Good show 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again for a great info section . I couldn’t remember how to post a question on live stream ,Help
No worries!
I saw you pour concrete on grass 😅 on some shorts video. Old days??
Anyway, I'll try loading my dirty brass. Keep up the good work mate.

As always If you pay attention to these pod casts. You will find things that will enhance your shooting abilities. Thanks for all your hard work Erik
Thank you
Dang Erik, that's how I deal with my rifle brass! :)
Where do you get those flat 20 round plastic holders that I have seen on your channels
How do you sort bullets
Erik i wants to know about lock ease please explain it why you use it and what is purpose.. thanks
Get some.
I’m looking for a recommendation on a bore scope. Huge fan. Trying to break into F class.

How do you make time for a 1.5 hour livestream in the middle of everything else you do!
Can I use CLR on your EC tunner brake to clean ?
6.5-284 norm vs 6.5 prc ?? see in charging data that prc uses magnum caps...difficult to get caps at the moment but easy to find large rifle caps..

I have had that issue before, but I don’t have it now.
@ErikCortina Can you say what u changed? Either wiping the brass better or not making the chamber so smooth? Now that I wipe the brass off with alcohol, I haven't had it sense.
I have had that issue before when I left solvent in the chamber. Never from brass lube.
@@ErikCortinaYip solvent in the chamber will wreck your groups 😂
Is there a record for air rifle shots if so how far is it or what is the long distance average?
What kind of mandrel do you use? 1:47
Do you brush necks after mandrel?
Yes
Is the CLR stuff in response to Winning in the Wind? 😮
Kelbly sent an email out to all of their customers saying "dont use CLR, you'll void your warranty" in short. I'm sure CLR on aluminum actions is terrible.
Do you anounce that you are goingt to ha have this live streams? or what I need to do to get notified when you are going live?
Go to my website and sign up for mailing list.
Or, click notification bell and click “all” notifications.
@@ErikCortina yes I get the notifications but I get them after you were live or after you post the videos. Any way..thank you.
💯🔥
The takeaway is “if you stroke it all night long, it’s going to hurt!”
I be strokin! Clarence Carter, where ya at man??.... :)
Would like a tuner for my 9/16 thread. Thanks
Would it be a bad idea to purchase a used F class rifle for a first gun knowing it is not going to last a long time? God Bless You All.
No, used guns are a good way to get into the sport.
Eric, overall length or ogive length?
I saw him on another podcast saying OAL.
I don't scan QR codes.
Do you buy your 99% alcohol online or local to you? I can't find it locally
Are you in USA ?

So 6.5 creed is good but 7-08 isn't? WtF?

FYI everyone - Erik Cortina is smarter than you when it comes to rifles. His results speak for themselves.
Man it’s mind blowing how much these top f class guys know. They take shooting to a whole new level. They literally dissect, test and improve every single little thing they use.
It’s truly unbelievable how much they have learned over the years.
Had to stop watching to see you and Ryan Cleckner
