    Some beautiful traces on this video. Getting my 12 and 15yr daughters into this. .22 Vudo 360 first, then Centerfire next. They seem to like 6 Dasher but we are still not sure yet on caliber.
    Everyone has been so nice in this sport and helped my daughters out so much. They have gotten so much time behind some many rifles.

But the gun in 35 years has only 135 shots fired thru it since new. I'd need an awful lot of practice before I'd give this a try it's no easy feat with a high power scope so open sights would be like 1 in 1,000,000 that could do that.

  • @Dr.KennethNoisewater
    @Dr.KennethNoisewater 4 месяца назад

    Erik! Thanks for all the great videos. I’m brand new to reloading and have a question. I see people agonizing over distance to the lands. I’m trying to figure out why. I understand you need to find the sweet spot as far as seating depth goes and that you need a decent measurement of the lands on your specific rifle. Why does this measurement need to be exact? Actually knowing the exact distance from the lands seems irrelevant to me. But getting a close measurement and starting load development off of that close measurement seems to me all that one would need. It seems like in seating depth testing you would still find the same node and knowing the exact distance from the lands would just be G wiz at that point. Finding a seating depth that works well and replicating it seems like all you have to do. Am I flawed in my reasoning? I know I’m able to get a measurement that accurate within 5 or so thousandths ….if I start at a theoretical 15 off the lands and find a good not working back…is t that good enough to get the same result? Seems like the bullets I want to shoot don’t mind relatively large jumps too. (6.5CM 140 from a few manufacturers)

      Some of the shooters don’t hit the 2 inch plate . Also if you can shoot a 1/2 inch group at 100 yards but you can’t get a blackjack that’ll tell us more of how much the wind is playing a factor during that shoot. But then again I don’t know why I’m exposing myself to you who just couldn’t resist to give their opinion.

      I've loaded loads for rifles that shot 5 shot groups on a dime at 100. Quarter size at 200, 3" at 250 yards, 1" at 300...
      Some of the best loads at 100 just don't shoot well at longer range. 100 is a great start but if you don't stretch them out, you could be sadly disappointed

    I came up with my own challenge at 100m due to lack of longer range in my area. 15 shots, really small target (0.5 MOA): ruclips.net/video/WZ5oZl-469E/видео.html

    LOL, easy money shooting 500 yards with open sights on the Black Jack Challenge.

    Can you even see 2 in. square at 500 yd? I doubt it. open sights at 500 yd. Send me a gold coin.
