Great video. I love that you didn't even break stride when it started raining. I'm half way through my second video of yours and I am a fan. Subscribed!

I enjoy your videos

More!

Glad you’re back!

Its sunny, carry on, it's raining, carry on. he who reads the wind is king

So glad to see a new video from you! Your videos always provide a lot of knowledgeable and very well thought out content that a seasoned rifle shooter down to a relatively new shooter can appreciate! Thanks and keep those videos coming! 👍 PS: Many of use would love to see your review and a side by side comparison of the original IOR Recon and the new Valdada Recon G2 😁

Spent a many good days, out in the cold winter rain, with my dog Jake. Better than sunny days at the beach. ThankYouSir

Great video Richard! Right on the button!

Brilliant informative once again and you just keep on going in the rain too .

Great vid and sound info , thanks you Richard

This video is very detailed, very good explanation, its for the dummies. I bet he didnt realize it even rained lol

Great information thanks for the video

Great video as usually, thumbs up !

Great insights... I appreciate your experienced perspective very much sir!

hi richard, thanks for another great video. what i get is practice makes perfect.

I get it. Thanks for the advice.

Great video brother!

Yessss. Thank you

Excellent video, thank you. Now, back to the reloading shed..... :)

understood, thanks sir

Richard riveting video for me, thank you

Enjoy your videos, always learn something. Thank you. Nice to see you in a great New Zealand jacket!

Great vid.

Thank you Richard for another great video, I could listen to your concise explanations all day. Question for you - do you know of, or can you recommend anyone for training in Australia? Thanks again, looking forward to your next video!

DO MORE SWAROVSKI SCOPE REVIEWS/ COMPARISONS Z8i series and how about the new VORTEX 1-10 gen3?

A laser ray is all that will not deflect in the wind, however, given variable air density from differing wind velocity, even this laser ray will wander on the target. ie the twinkling star effect. That must effect real world ballistics through a poorer scope at longer ranges. ie your target is suffering mirage even when you think it is not relevant. Nice practical video ..Thanks.

Good video :)

Hi R Good to see you back. I have been working up my 7mm rem mag with the Delta 4.5-30 we talked about (waited for the locking turrets version which took for ever!) SD down in the 15-20 fps but thinking of a rebarrel which has lead me towards a custom rem clone action with barrel attached. Have you any thoughts on big 7's and rem clone actions?

Another sublime presentation. 👌 We've missed you on KZread. Personally, I'm banned for life from Facebook ( lots of butt hurt people 😂 on there 😂).

What are your thoughts on positive compensation?

“Spend 50 rounds in load development not 500” amen Thank you Richard! Some one has said that on KZread at last.

Ha yeah thanks mate :)

It isn't "noise" ..it is stacked error. If you add up all the inputs that would produce a net error, let's say that comes out to +/- 1.5MOA. Shooting at a 4MOA target, if your rifle is capable of 1/2MOA, then if everything "goes wrong" but you make a perfect shot at center mass, you'll hit the target edge. If your rifle is capable of 1/4MOA, now you have some additional error budget for when you as the shooter don't make a perfect shot. If your rifle is only capable of 1MOA, then things get dicey. If you miss off to the left or right, is that because you didn't make a perfect center mass shot? Or is it because of the gun's inherent dispersion? Or is it you did make a perfect shot, but you didn't accurately calculate the net error, and it was really +/- 3.25MOA? It becomes impossible to identify the cause of a miss (that's assuming you get a good call on where the actual point of impact was, relative to your point of aim). Further, if you made a poor shot off the 4MOA target by an additional 4MOA, you might still hit the target if the net error is 4.25MOA! This is why in long range shooting, we hedge our POA on the target such that we have some leeway. For example, in a Left to Right wind, but we aren't sure, aim left edge such that whether the wind is 10mph or 15mph, it will still hit across an acceptable impact area. Bottom Line: Skills absolutely come first. But you need a rifle that is better than you are if you want to actually improve, otherwise you can never properly diagnose your shooting capability and errors.

Many thanks for your valued input.

Are there any none €1500 - €4000 scopes that are reliable for small game, and pest control under 200 meters. Im looking for a ffp mrad mil mil scope 0.1mrad click , without illuminated xmas reticle. Up to 24 magnification. Parralax side adjustment . High turrets that i can use in cold weather.

Priorities hidden in the bullet trace

I would like your advice please I am a new HFT shooter and I have just upgraded to an FX Crown and I want a new scope I can't make up my mind between a Bushnell elite 4.5-18x44 ffp scope or an SWFA 3-15x42 ffp which would you choose please

I am waiting to get my papers sorted then will get 308. Do you shoot that caliber if so where?

Went to the range this morning, had a chat with some of the guys and ended up “discussing” accurate guns....of course I had to shine with someone else’s knowledge. Let’s say I am considered an authority on long range precision from now on...😂

Wonderful video. Oh, who makes your jacket? It’s sharp.

Great video. I have problem with the speed of my bullets. I use an electronic scale (gem pro 250) and have a great accuracy (5.216 grams +/- 0.001 grams), but my speed is like on 5 bullets 919 m/s, 918 m/s, 920 m/s, 920 m/s, 908 m/s. And after the five next are like 902 m/s to 922 m/s. I do neck sizing only and check the volume of my cartdrige. I use Ramshot Magnum and this powder graphites my barrel very fast, after 5 shots (0.35 moa if I do my job, 0.45 if not) my group expand to 0.82 moa and keep between 0.65 to 0.82 moa. If clean well my barrel (remove copper and co), go back to 0.35 moa the fie first shot. I'll try Vitha N165 powder when I get it. I shot .300 wm in a new Lothar Walter barrel (stainless steel, 100 shots right now). I load at 0.008" from the land and use SMK 190 Gr. If you have a tip for my problem after 5 shots (hot or cold barrel, same result), I get it ;) Thanks for this video again.

Try this... shoot your foulers, then do a light cleaning. Just remove the carbon, not the copper. Shoot another group. Repeat this several times. What you are trying to track is when/if the barrel reaches copper equilibrium, and the velocities will stabilize. This is usually a bathtub curve and completely depends on your barrel and load for how wide (how many shots) it will stay in the sweet spot. If you are cleaning the bore thoroughly every time, then you will never reach a copper equilibrium condition.

800lb Gorilla I agree. Some guys do way too much cleaning instead of shooting and noting the results.

Case lube left on a case will give a 1'' flier at 100 yards, and when it comes down to it when you own 2 lathes as i do , 1 out of 3 to 1 out of 5 even top shelf barrels will give you perfect cold bore first round shots even after perfect load development!

Last step of barrel cleaning is a graphite fluid. This will fix your cold bore shift.

Hi mate. Interested video. I think it's up to the shooter. I can't afford the top end scopes, what do you think of the, Edgar brother's opti tt 5-20-50 for a 308. Thanks for any feedback. Tc Andy

Any scope is what you make of it, when you can afford to move up, move up, just watch your scope for any signs of inconsistency.

Tanks for the topic, it was great! Here's a request for a topic to cover.... what mobile ballistics app doyou use and/or what do you use on a computer vs. a mobile device? Reloading app? Reloading management program, or are you like me with scratch notes hanging out of every reloading manual. (I promise I am organizing it all on my PC) Thanks again Richard.

For me, I use Strelok Pro app for Android. Free version is good, 11USD version is better (more reticles, more built-in ammo data, G7 drag profile, etc). It's worked great for me out to 1600yd. For hand-loading I use MS Excel, which allows me to use formulas and little scripts to generate data cards. Hope that helps you in the meantime.

Given that the very best loaders will have an understanding of minimum possible variance in FPS then we know what the limit on vertical is. So Max potential on one dimension is absolute. At 1200 yards what does 30 FPS +/- on a 3000 FPS round equate to in minutes ... anyone?

@RichardUttingSharpshootingUK

it depends obviously but you're talking around a lot. 60fps spread is death at competetive levels. My rule of thumb for clients is to keep spread to 20, Sd around 10

Richard Utting that’s great info to know. It will give we mere mortals something to aim for.

Ever other video has been bullshit compared to this...well said!

Nice to have things explained in English.
