What's this channel for? It's for the unending improvement of the skills and technology of shooting sports.
Why is that important? Because without it, you're stuck with or are trying to modify the same, old ideas of yesterday. Over time, you will grow bored, complacency will set in, and shooting sports will decline to the point of being but an old memory.
Why care that shooting sports are more than a memory? They're a lot of fun for one. But it challenges you to do something active AND use your brain. You don't have to be a top-level athlete or a rocket surgeon to be involved. That opens the door to more people to get involved, and with more people, competition goes up. This forces you to improve your own performance. Even better, it creates a class of people that are more active and creative which improves our society. You're more capable of creating bigger and better ideas and solutions to life, and the world benefits. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. 19192
I probably would drill out a hole to just clean it when installed so I don’t have to remove anything. be one time messing with it to never have to do so again. But hey if it works for you and your content with it forge on. Cool rifle bud
with my experience shooting a 223, 308, and a 6br in F-class, and then shooting those cartridges against other shooters, it seems 600 yds and beyond there is still an advantage to the 6arc with a heavier bullet even at the lower speeds. especially with what you would be using in mag feed situation. This is something that deserves a test to see what the difference actually is.
I have one in 6.5cm shoots Hornady eld x 143gr. .77-.88 stock out of the box with only the trigger lightened to 2.5 lbs. A 308 stock except for the trigger lightened to 2.5 lbs that shoots federal fusion 1 inch to.75. I'm ok with that! However I have one in 300win mag that shoots 3 moa no matter what ammo I use. Factory or reloads. It's going away soon. I have several Mossberg patriots, I'm happy with all of them except the 300 win.
According to Shooting Times and Shooting Illustrated, Hornady 6mm ARC factory loads are 52,000 psi. The factory loads I use outperform anything I've ever shot in the AR-15 platform. It's not 6.5mm Creedmoor, but that's an entirely different platform.
LOL...The price of a spare bolt vs. the price of ammo for a very brief range day? Probably not a significant difference. This is your one end-all, be-all gripe against the 6arc? Just curious, how many arc/grendel bolts have failed for you in your experience shooting 6ARC?
I just torqued everything and lapped scope rings and torqued scope mounting. Worked out a 77 grain hornaday factory ammo. 2" group @ 200 yds. Would not group with cheap 55 grain ammo.
I agree. I’ve had three bolts from different manufacturers break lugs next to the extractor in my 6.5 Grendel. I now have two interchangeable bolts, one for the Grendel and one for the 22ARC.
Forgot to mention: I’ve always loaded close to minimum powder loads in the Grendel. I’ve never broke a bolt in my 224 Valkyrie even after running max loads.
@13:23 Bore at muzzle feel looser than bore at throat made me close my eye in hopelessness. Barrel is trash. Also that throat and bolt 30-10% lug engage LMAO
Does Mossberg list their accuracy under the same as the Mossberg 500 with birdshot? All joking aside good work, but that barrel towards the south end, including the crown screams problem for me. New barrel or make a short barrel and rechamber. If i had the tools on hand the latter would be it if I was keeping that rifle.
Have a synthetic stock version in 6.5 Creedmoor and wont group under 2 1/2 inches with 10 different loads . Factory by the way but i have one more to try . Crossing my fingers
I might have missed it, but I didn't see you address the muzzle crown. For me your muzzle had a clear problem in the bore scope video. Timeline would be around 12min 11 sec. I would clearly do a recrown. Personally I do the brass screw technique and am finished in a about 15 min altogether with a coarse and fine grinding compound.
I seen that too, I'm thinking well you got to smooth out the crown........ Another thing was all the chatter marks father down the barrel, looked like hell itself. I wouldn't want this rifle for a varmint rig with that rough barrel.
@@armedfarm3429 The chatter marks wouldn't worry me one second. Maybe 50, maybe a hundred or maybe two hundred rounds need to be put downrange until the barrel is worn in. But in the vid the work that could have been done is only finished to 50% in my eyes. Before the crown hasn't been addressed there is no way a summary can be drawn.
@@7sleeper7schlaefer72 Wouldn't bug you, but it'd bug me. Thats why I said I wouldn't want it for pickin varmints. Coyotes be ok, but no prairie dog towns with this low-quality barrel. If Mossberg don't start making some decent barrels they might as well quit making rifles. How you can say the barrel won't be a problem after a few hundred rounds pass, you are dreaming. Throw the barrel in the dump & get a real one. Didn't you see the inside? Take a look into a decent barrel!😣😲
Agreeing with some of the other comments, I think some changes in factory ammo choices or some tinkering with hand loads would easily produce sub-MOA groups
Picked up a used Thunder Ranch MVP in .308 for cheap. The man said the rifle shot all over the place, so I disassembled it, cleaned it, and discovered the action screws were the wrong size for the action. I fixed that with aftermarket screws and some Loctite. The gun dislikes premium ammunition; the lower quality the ammo, the better it shoots.
Personally if I have to do that much work to get a gun shooting I’m better off spending more money for a higher quality rifle than spending 400 bucks for a cheap mossberg or savage. I have always ran either a Ruger or a Winchester rifle and I never had an issue with accuracy. My model 70 Winchester out of the box I’m getting sub moa accuracy with two different types of ammo from 2 different companies.
It seems like rifles tend to be the accuracy of the lowest accuracy component. So things like bedding and lapping only make a difference if the barrel and ammo is near perfect. I wouldn’t mind putting a premium barrel on a cheap bolt action but on these mossbergs they seem to have some plastic in places that makes be go “huuh?”.
They do shoot sub moa. My first rifle I started handloading for was MVP LR in 308. It was a great cheap beginner rig. I have a video proof of its sub moa performance.
Had one of those in 308 after 4 brands of ammo and best group of over 3" it went away after 2 weeks got a savage axis 2 in 7mm08 American whitetail ammo under 1" all day long.
@RG_outdoors285 you can understand how skeptical one would be over claims that a 1moa rifle plus inconsistent budget ammunition = less than an moa all day
@RG_outdoors285 they're loaded on the same equipment, and I can see the outfitter line being less accurate with the finicky bullets they use, but not being able to produce more consistent ammunition than factory? No offense, but that's pretty bad.
I work on one of these exact copy and caliber. It shot the least expensive ammo from wal-Mart. Bulls eye. I don’t remember the brand. We tried premium ammo several reloads. It shot great with the least expensive ammo.
