Thanks Brian for the excellent advice. From the start I have tried to take more notes and collect more data than I think I need and am trying to optimize a practical statistics strategy. Without data we have chaos and chaos will cost you time and money. Thank you again for the excellent advice. Truly grateful.
I agree with the temperature change being a big factor. I have a 6br load that I shoot below 50 degrees Fahrenheit that averages 2820 fps, but in hotter/humid temps In 80s/90s the load will jump to over 2900+ fps. So I think that developing loads for the temperature and humidity conditions really matters. I hope you also do a video about tight bolt lift causes and solutions. There are times where I thought of everything but then it takes other experienced people to give perspective on something I have missed.
"weird stuff" happening is a terrible feeling....feels like evil pixies having crazy practical joke party. I take alot of notes..but .. sometimes..not enough.... Thanks for posting...like the " over view refresher " aspect... Like the powder for vertical and seating for horizontal. Ive been reloading for awhile...and I feel like back to square one for load dev..even thinking doing seating first then powder ..
Thanks for all the good tips! Do you try to match velocity from a known good load to a load for a new barrel? If you haven't already talked about rear bag fill would you please consider doing a video on how much you like to fill the base of the rear bag and the ears of the rear bag. I'm currently filling the base FULL and the ears about 90% (maybe less).
Opinions on this range quite a bit but the similarities are to use a heavy sand, fill the base of the rear full, and fill the front to about 90% to allow a little sand migration as your rifle settles in. For ears, I do full fill on my light rifles so it stays solid in the groove. For heavy rifle, I do 90% because the butt needs a little give to settle on the base.
Brian: thanks for all the great knowledge and experience you share. I've been shooting a few years and looking to improve my groups. I don't have the ability to shoot past 100 yards near by and I'm wondering if I'll see much difference by using a case neck turner. I'm on the fence about purchasing one. .
Where did you get those target yellow tablets? This is my wifes phone. You said your full time job was in quality. If you have access to a computerized optical comparator it can be very useful in the shooting came.
Targets are on accurateshooter.com and I use heavy, maybe 110 pounds (not sure) paper. This makes me able to print from home but still use paper that is good enough to clearly see the groups.
Great video, best part is the NWA sign next to the SAAMI spec for the 6mm PPC!
Nothing but solid information. Guys, stop trying to reinvent the wheel. There are known cartridges and loads that just shoot well.

Another great video with great information! I have three 6.5x47 benchrest rifles and shoot the same load in all 3 of them at 600 and 1000 yards.

If you’re using high quality brass (e.g., Norma, Lapua) then it’s not absolutely necessary. However, if you’re using low quality brass, it is helpful.
@@WitchDoctorPrecision Thank you sir. Appreciate your videos and the quick response.
@@occortes9411 thanks for tuning in. Shoot small!

Bryan, when you say: 12 thousandths Jam what do you mean? Are you saying the seating depth is 0.,012 less than the jam dimension. Or something else?
The bullet ogive protrudes .012” farther out than the touch point on the lands.
Bryan, where do you get the Voodoo bullets? Googled it an came up with nothing..

How is the tuner test coming along?
Good. Still gathering data though.
Dear Bryan, please tell me the brand of funnel and tube, thanks in advance.
