Warning left-handed shooters about the way guns break, sometimes by design, reminded me of my late brother-in-law in California. I took my family to Bakersfield to visit him in the early eighties. While there we started talking about reloading, He admitted he used to push the envelope on reloading. He then pulled out a semi-auto Remington 742 from his closet. The bolt stuck out the ejection port at a ninety-degree angle to the receiver. The tear at the back of the ejection port suggested it almost came out. If it had it would have traveled back towards a shooter. A left-handed shooter, like me, or a bye-stander could have been seriously injured or killed.
I use the gas port to measure height of center of scope above center of barrel using a expandable compass drawing tool and using the distance to input to a ballistic setting app.
I've had pierced primer issues with Norma whitetail 6.5 in my cva cascade. After a few, the pin wouldn't fire anymore. I took apart the bolt and cleaned and greased it and it's back to normal.
I'm a left handed shooter and hunt with a right handed bolt gun (.308). Been doing it for 40+ years. A few years ago I had a brass failure while sighting in a new scope. Shoulder of the extraction groove on the cartridge blew out. A true wth just happened moment. It took a couple of seconds for me to figure out what had happened. The gas escape port blew the gases and some powder across my face. Luckily I was wearing eye protection as I believe I could have had some serious eye damage without it. Up to that point I normally would use eye pro during range sessions but not usually when hunting. I do now.
I inherited my fathers Remington 700 30-06 and it has a fluted bolt. I absolutely love the feel of it, the gun is 60 years old and the action still feels like glass its so smooth.
Please invite Ray with the X-Ring channel. Possibly the most knowledgeable and capable shooter I've ever witnessed. The guy is amazing and a great guy!!! Would be a great collaboration for you to do a few videos together. Think you'll really like Ray. BTW He's got a very loyal following..
Agreed, Mr. X-Ring "Ray" is also a fantastic long range expert and a plethora of knowledge and many MANY years of experience and an excellent speaker..
I had primer flow back into the firing pin well, on a Rem 700. One of those rifles on which the factory actually beveled the well. I had Greg Tannel, GreTan Rifles, machine the bolt face and put a bushing in the well. Now the firing pin hits dead center with no cratering.
I kept refreshing my home page and kept seeing this video and I was like why does youtube keep recommending me an old backfire video then I look at when it was posted and I clicked as soon as possible
As a TIG welder I’m just going to point out stainless steel moves a LOT more than mild steel when welding… take that for something or nothing. But I’m not sold on stainless barrels… I’d prefer a thick carbon steel barrel personally if I’m focused on accuracy for this reason… and then I’d send it to by cryogenically frozen/treated which helps align the molecules. The result and point of this is to keep stringing from cold bore to hot minimal
"Lugs are the contact features between the bolt and the receiver". (13:38) I always thought bolt lugs contacted and locked the bolt to the barrel's chamber
7:25; i dunno if old antique lever actions count but I’ve definitely noticed, over the decades, my old worn out but still working Western Auto 3030 which is basically the old Marlin design and I have noticed how the firing pin never quite hits the primer in the exact center. And I always wondered why but never really knew. haha well I may have to finally retire the old girl. Shot a bunch of whitetails with it over the years and it’s been a good rifle.
@@mr.mr.3301I put one of those in a Boyds thumbhole, bedded with Devcon, and a McCarbo spring kit, and wow. That thing looks, feels, and shoots fantastic.
Great selection of topics with easy to understand explanations, good information! If you decide to expand on the CRF claw extractor discussion, however, please talk about why it’s important to load rounds from the magazine rather than just tossing one in the chamber and forcing the bolt closed! I saw a guy force feed a CRF action on the range one time with less than perfect results, lol!
I have chamber feed them for years, never a problem , in fact the old military guns had cutoffs , so you could chamber feed and protect the ones in the mag until needed
Rifles shouldn't be called right handed or left handed. I know I'm tilting at a windmill here but they should be labeled right eyed or left eyed because your hand dominance isn't the thing that should determine which way you "hold" the rifle. It is your eye that is or should be the determining factor.
A right handed rifle is operated with the right hand and ejects from the right hand side. If you are left eye dominant you will shoot a left hand rifle which you will operate with your left hand
WOW !!!! Shoot with Jim sounds like an awesome time. Wish I had done more range and reloading time over the last decade and a half so I could complete. But I had better get on the website and get my recoil pads ordered. Keep up the good work and if what your surprise is it sounds like it should be awesome to the world. Keep up the good work.
I just took receipt of my first Weatherby ( A Mark V Live Wild in 280 AI) last week. Due to ordering issues, I have not been received the scope mount yet and have yet to shoot it. I can tell you that the quality I’m seeing with this rifle’s fit and function is superb. I also have a Howa 1500, which is basically a Weatherby Vanguard, and that rifle has served me very well over the half dozen years or so I’ve had it.
If I ever bought a PRC I'd prefer a fluted bolt. I think folks will start seeing problems in the hunting field with dirt and grime, easier than with their previous rifles.
Jim, have you tried reaching out to anyone in Australia to stock your recoil pads or can you send them a bit more discreet so we can get our hands on them? Cheers mate! 😄🍻
I like a three lug bolt and that it is full diameter and if it is fluted that can still work if the flutes are full diameter. A Sako full extractor in one lug is also nice.
Wear is a relative term based on the objective. For precision shooting, yes, stainless barrels are "softer" making them easier to machine but will lose their precise accuracy more quickly. Chromy-moly is more resilient but not nearly as consistent. For total shots fired before being shot out, they're probably rather close and very similar.
It's all about consistency, starting from the producer of the rifle. Tight tolerances are not cheap to achieve and manufacture. This is why some rifles that are worth $1000's more than others seems to always shoot great than cheaper options... plus they might be safer in a worst case scenario. 😉
10:20 I don't think that picture is an example of CRF unless I'm seeing things? I don't see how that could control the cartridge as it leaves the magazine (before turning the bolt). My Mausingfield has an open section on the bottom of the boltface so the cartridge slides in as soon as it's out of the magazine.
Isn't the B-roll at 10:21 showing a sliding plate extractor and plunger ejector, which is not a "controlled feed" Mauser style? And not to be pedantic, I think Gavin meant to say "popular" rather than "traditional" referring to push-feed.
@@bobvi5490 When Gavin said "one of the bolt lugs essentially has a giant claw" I think he was referring to a Mauser or Winchester extractor. And I agree that picture is not an example of that.
The earlier Howa models had a firing pin hole that was a bit too large which allowed brass to enter the bolt body which eventually caused a malfunction. A sleeve fitted did the trick.
I can't comment on current Howa rifles. But the earlier ones all seemed to be very sloppy and loose pertaining to bolt fit. Being a Mauser style of action I always found this to be unacceptable. Besides firing pin protrusion, positive protrusion and absolute protrusion, firing pin hole diameter is definitely a concern. Brass flow into the hole is a concern ( jamming the pin or preventing full release of spring energy), but one that can be identified by tell tale signs on the case head and area around the firing pin hole. The fix for this is to plug the hole and re drill to the correct size. Also of concern are burrs around the firing pin hole.
You should do a video on describing what it means when somebody for example says dial for 5moa that way people better understand dialing and holdover and such
It is like the tripod stool. Accuracy, Precision and Repeatability. Ideally results should be identical from one shot to another. Watch a machinist true material in a lathe to ensure no runout. Tiny differences get magnified, so the instant the projectile leaves the crown is almost impossible to replicate from shot to shot.
What is the difference in accuracy between the Sako 90 Quest and the adventure besides the price? I really would like to know. Is investing over a thousand dollars more fore the Quest worth it? I just can’t afford the extra money. Thanks
How does the bolt of your Sig Cross look. I have maybe 150 rounds on my 6.5 cross and it is missing a ton of the black finish. There are screw like gouges on the bolt. What does yours look like ?
The Remington 700 is not a Controlled round feed, it is a push feed, the Mauser is truly a Controlled round feed, as it feeds the round from the magazine onto the bolt face.
I just looked @ my Springfield 06 built in 1911 and found a vent in the extractor claw and bolt. Very interesting. Also, it served its purpose. Saved my bacon! I never load max powder, 49.1gr. of 3031 IMR (DuPont) powder, 165gr. projectile. I ain't got no idea what happened!! Okay! Time 4 a lawsuit! Watching a handful of dirt being dumped into & on the bolt gave me a severe case of PTSD!! 😵💫That will keep me from sleeping 4 months! 💩
I'm getting into reloading and the part that always gets me is when people are talking decimals. This guy says "9 thousands of an inch". The diameter of a single bullet is larger than that. Hell, a BB is bigger than that.Unless shit has REALLY changed in the last 30 years since graduation it goes: 0.[tenths] [hundredths] [thousandths] so a group measuring 9 thousandths of an inch would be 0.009"
Jim do you mean the UR video w your gun that almost every comment for Gavin was like, “ I thought you were going to fix the gun…. Anyone can put a new barrel on a gun.” And then he said he was going to redo it. You mean that video?
Id bet youll only notice a change from the bolt shroud if youre at the very cutting edge of marksmanship. Such as award winning fclass shooters like Erik. For me? Its just a pretty upgrade to brag about. Lol!
I thought the firing pin gets damaged mostly from dry firing without using a snap cap. This can wear out the bolt's hole, loosening the firing pin, and lets the firing pin go too deep into the primer.
Hi Jim, thanks for another helpful and informative video. Since you’re a gun advocate and social media influencer, perhaps you would add a note urging your viewers to register and vote Republican this year, and advise everyone that Harris-Walz absolutely will terminate hunting and shooting sports.

They weren’t saying tikka were bad. Just they sudk at applying cerakote. Just buy the stainless model and apply it yourself. Tikka are the best sub 1500 dollar gun on the market.
He was saying they weren’t scuffing or abrading the smooth surface which means the Cerakote couldn’t grip. The super smooth barrel or surface meant it would chip off easier. Hopefully they fix it!!!
@@ULFISHGETTER I don't have any tikkas but I've always heard good things about them .I've shot a couple of them and they seemed to be good quality that guy on u.tube did seem to know what he was saying because he said he dose it for a living.But I've learned just because somebody claims something on U.TUBE dose not make them a expert in any way.
Looking at some cerakote jobs flaking off from various companies I'd just stick with the tikka stainless they are basically indestructible, or get one of the lower end sakos on discount for similar money as a tikka at MSRP
Thanks for the opportunity to have this discussion Jim!

come on backfire, label your recoil pads as kids slipper so you can send them to Australia
Knee pads.
Yard tools are allowed in Australia.
Mechanic tools are allowed in Australia.
Just use a non descriptive shipping label.
That's not a slipper, that's an adult personal toy.

@@arte9855I’m waiting for when closed fists become illegal. You know it’s coming shortly after they ban rocks.

Fluted bolts reduce the freeze factor in cold weather also.

Surprised he didn’t even reviewed Browning AB3.
My howa was cratering around the firing pin so we sleeved the hole and reduced the size of the hole and machine the firing pin down to fit perfectly
