This makes sense to watch the velocities on the early life of the barrel during the first 250 rounds or so. And it to know when the barrel is done moving, you would logically need every round loaded identically. If every round is identical, but the velocities are changing, you know the barrel is still breaking in. Thus, in turn, after firing the 250 rounds you will know the barrel is done moving around AND your brass will be all the same. Now it would be time to grab a batch for load development. Great concept. Thank you. I'm looking forward to coming down there to train with you when I get my 7mm PRC Primal.
Worth watching a couple times for sure. Going to follow this to a T for a new 6BRA -PRS set up. Time to hand load at the range. Great information here !
Awesome video man thanks for all you work and sharing your knowledge. Thank you also for all the scripture you share on here and on instagram i always look forward to what you share daily. Keep up the good work and God bless
Thank you for sharing God's word and helping me understand the great importance of brass prep and management. I finally got a decent chronograph and got to watch my new 6.5 prc velocities change this past Saturday. Granted all the brass was still done my old way but from here on out its all changing thanks to these videos and when we spoke the other day.
I enjoy videos like this. Even though I pretty follow a lot of your process to a T, videos like these are a good reminder. Just in time too, I’m putting a 17 Rem and an 17 fireball together tonight. Thanks for your time and effort to make these videos man!
I have always had in the back of my head that something was up in my process of brass, but didn't know what or how to seek it out. I continued to do what I had done and tried new things of shooters I would have conversations with. I WAS beating up my brass!! I watched all 4 parts of the brass prep and a lightbulb went off in my head. I was doing LOTS of things wrong. Also doing things wrong with new barrels and load development for those. Go figure right? if I was doing one thing in the process wrong there were more that followed. Thank You for putting this kind of information out there for shooters alike to learn from. Even if we take 1 part to change our process or like me realize multiple parts needed to change to produce better ammo. I am implementing what I learned immediately and understand the current brass in play is probably compromised in some way. As soon as Alpha has my 2 calibers back in stock 200 pieces will go into play.
I have bought the best reloading equipment and components including your primer seater. I still need to purchase PrimeWhere Digital Package. I will soon be in the process of building a 6.5 Creed rifle. I've been in contact with Wolf Precision here in Pennsylvania where I will go to their facility to build the rifle with their guidance. Because the rifle will be brand new, I haven't started to reload until I get the rifle. I watched most of your videos but can you recommend a video or series of videos that SHOWS reloading from start to finish for a new rifle/barrel? FYI...This video was extremely good because it addressed changes in the barrel that will affects reloading as it "Breaks in".
You have some unique ideas and make sense in engineering terms. It would be great to see you work with applied ballistics. Your engineering based approach and internal ballistics knowledge would pair quite well with Bryan litz’s scientific approach and external ballistics expertise. From reading his books anytime a hand loading topic is tested it seems to be inconclusive.
The devil is in the details…as in most things. Excellence will elude the majority, because most people don’t care enough about what they do. Our civilization is suffering because of the cult of mediocrity that has swept our culture…it doesn’t make life better, and indeed it will be our undoing. Thanks for sharing your specialized knowledge…I’m learning a ton. To understand why you’re failing gives the individual the choice to succeed or be happy with their achievements to date…and that’s invaluable. Cheers.
Love the preaching brother! Keep letting God work threw you so others can see Him .

Great content as usual. Amen brother on the Bible lesson!

Great video Mr. Dykstra. You accurately described issues that I have experienced in my shooting. Please keep up the great content!

Another thought inspiring video. Thank you so much.
Perfect timing! I’m about to build a 22 Creedmoor. This information will really help as I break in the barrel! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. I have a new barrel with under 50 rounds through it. I'll keep an eye on it's behavior.
Thanks for sharing this info! Love the antelope video by the way.
Greg, what lens and camera did you use to film the pronghorn? How far away were they?
Always appreciate your content...
Keep on sharing.
Eye opening. Thanks brother.
Thankfully I started running my brass in lots of 50 for load development and 100 for conformation
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Good wisdom
Well this explains a few issues I've been having over the years. It also showed me I've probably ruined 150 pieces of 300winmag brass.
😉
Thank you .
Very well said

We offer hands on training, but don’t have a “how to” basics video.
Like the cross on the stock
Once I pick a bullet and powder, where in the powder range do I want to load the first 250 rounds?

If I had the money, time and private range, I would give it a try, but alas I don’t😂
Amen my friend
Do you recommend that you start with min loads
Greg, what lens and camera did you use to film the pronghorn? How far away were they?
this makes me want to throw all my brass away lol
yay!
I lov what you dp
