I've followed this adventure, thanks for sharing. I never suspected the machine work to be the short end of it. The dual purpose statements are 100% true. Great job standing behind your work, even though your work wasn't even a small part of the issues.
Hi Scott Re: hearing the phone. I (unfortunately) have gotten old! Along with this sorry event my hearing has gone --- let's just say "down hill". I've discovered that generally with a high quality hearing (Miracle Ear) aid it will connect with your phone (especially iPhone) and your calls with come through the aids loud and clear without needing to hold the thing to your ear. REALLY GOOD!!! Also with the iPhone (i am not an apple fan by the way) the thing will actually read your text messages to you when you wearing the aids!!! TO COOL!!
Keep the faith!! Trials make us strong. Knowledge is a roadmap of hills and valleys and sometimes hairpin corners. Love the channel and incredible experience your family shares
Great story. You said that the rifle was softer shooting toward the end but forgot you told us she put over a pound of lead in the foreign. Of course it shot softer. I built a 338 Lappula Ackley improved on a Remington action and that is it into a McMillan 85 stock. It also uses a Herald muzzle brake Ken is a real pussycat to shoot. It weighs 15 pounds. Thank you for all your hard work. We all appreciate it. Take it easy on for Miss Vicky.
My Remington 700 sendero 300rum shoots real good. It usually shoots about half min and I think it can do better if I wasn’t flinching. I load it hot and you know when you touch it off. I get Berger 210’s to 3250fps and 225 over 3000fps.
I appreciate the time and experience you have shared. I really would like to see how it would perform with a good bipod in the prone position. I also would like to compliment you on your attention to detail.
Dear Sir - agreed. But, the 7mm Rem. Mag. with 180's, 184's or 190's is so superior I tend to just overlook the smaller cartridge. Thanks..............
Dear Sir - Vickie is editing one now (9/3/23). As for comments, I REALLY try to be positive and supply helpful, educational responses; but some guys are so clueless I react harshly. Thanks for the encouragement, we greatly appreciate it.
I would have taken the third, 4 and 5 shot. I need to know what the gun would do. That data in my opinion is more important than keeping a one hole target. Regardless if I mess up or not. Thanks for the content. I think it awesome
Dear Sir - easy to say when you're not the one taking the pounding. Detached Retinas are a real possibility at this recoil level and I had all the data I needed to KNOW the gun's potential. Thanks...............
i set up a win mag super grade with a muzzle brake and had to add weight to the stock after the weight of the muzzle brake fix it beautiful you need to add weight to your stock to get the balance you need I used lead for fishing
Manufacturers qc should have caught that. Being caught by end user says a lot about the manufacturer, yes he's got a good reason to be concerned. Thanks for posting the article when you cut that brass. I'm going to stand back before jumping into the 33xc bandwagon.
You're very knowledgeable, Sir, and I had a question for you. I have a rifle in 308 that just won't shoot for me. I tried switching scopes, scope rings, scope bases, bedding the action, working up loads with multiple powder and bullet combinations, checking the torque on the action screws, and checking the crown (There is no crown damage I can see without magnification. I can see some marks with a borescope. They look like machining marks from when the barrel was cut). Can nearly microscopic marks on the crown cause a rifle to shoot poorly? I am thinking about just cutting my losses and selling the thing at this point.
Dear Sir - it might just be a bad barrel; but without investing a lot of time and energy on an almost endless process of elimination, who knows! Phone me if you wish to talk about it...........thanks.
Dear Sir - the issue is cost, a McMillan Tooley MBR is a $1,000; plus bedding, loading more ammo, etc........I would like to see the results also, but only if the customer is willing to finance the experiment. Thanks..........
Seems to me, that if you are building alot of guns on the BAT HR, it may be a worthwhile investment to set up an ambidextrous tooley for testing, especially for when customers request sporter style stocks.
@@quarterminutemagnums you would need to rebed for each action? even though it was for the HR action? Not trying to be rude, I am just curious why having a dedicated test stock wouldn’t work.
Man what a journey this has been. Thank you for another great video Sr. One question Sr, you said that Cooper had some reloads, did you had a chance to try those? I think for factory ammo his rifle wasn't bad bad just curios if the reloads shot better, thanks.
I went through something simular to what you have went through. Question what is your torque on that stock ? I had same problem you are having on a 300 rum. Tried everything talked to long range shooter, he said start messing with torque on the front end. So started with high torque worked my way down until I found that sweet spot. Not saying that your problem but it sure was mine ! Good luck
Pull the sling studs off that XC stock, they are giving you vertical recoil when laying in that rest! Possibly giving you all your headache. Just my $0.02 and opinion
@@quarterminutemagnums if you don't want comments shut them off, and I wasn't rude to you. Don't understand why I got the rude comment back! In your video complaining about the stock and rifle combo the studs were in the stock!
@@quarterminutemagnums Dear Sir, didn't know I was dealing with a know it all! I didn't see your credentials of professional gunsmith and professional shooter. I was trying to offer advice, but obviously a PROFESSIONAL does NOT need advice. Have a good day
Dear Sir - educational advise is always welcome; informative, enlightening, edifying too, but no need to state the blatantly obvious. I apologize if you interpreted my initial reply as rude; part of the problem with this format is the disparity between highly knowledgeable professionals and relative novices. Email me with your contact information and I will send you a Q.M.M. hat. Thanks. @@BigRob345
Get rid of those swivel studs up front. That’s part of the problem, especially when you’re shooting off a rest. Secondly a bigger muzzle brake should help with recoil as well. Also open up that barrel channel some because it is bouncing off it but you just can’t see it when it does.
Dear Sir - A customer and I built it. We tried to sell them because EVERYONE said "they really wanted one." But, when it came time to PAY for them, everyone did the Little Red Hen routine. Thanks..........
@@quarterminutemagnums Thanks for your reply, Sir. It's a shame about all those "Little Red Hens" and that it didn't work out with selling those benches.
@@SigmaBallistics Thanks for the recommendation for the Legacy Shooting Bench, Sir. I appreciate it, greatly! They look excellent for the money as you stated.
@@Sagittariustoo you will be happy with it, I looked for a very long time and didn’t see anything that really fit my criteria. the stukeys bench is insanely overpriced. the DOA bench just looks way too clunky and i didn’t want the seat attached. the cheaper stuff out there is way too flimsy for my large benchrest style guns and rests. i haven’t shot a ton off mine yet but im very happy with it so far. its heavy enough to be stable but not so heavy that its not manageable with one person set up. the legs are very large in diameter and each one adjusts so you can get the perfect height on uneven surfaces so that it doesn’t rock.
While your talking with the owner of Perterson brass (no that your big buddies:-) ) PLEASE LOBBY for 300WSM brass production. The NORMA (the only viable choice for 300WSM) metallurgy ( I sent you 100+ pieces when you were building my rifle) it terribly inconsistent! Really makes maintaining consistent neck tension very difficult!!
You have done your best to accommodate your somewhat misguided client with this build. No disrespect at all toward your client, but many shooters/hunters are getting victimized by the new long range hunting fad encouraged by equipment manufacturers, ammo makers, and gun writers. Anyone with a little experience and hunting ethics knows an off the shelf sporting rifle capable of 1 MOA out to 400 yards will serve the hunter better than a 17 pound half target half hunting rifle that can shoot quarter MOA. I wonder how many gut shot animals or ones with their noses, jaws, legs blown off out at long range because of atmospheric conditions not noticed between the game animal and the shooter this new fad will produce. I talked to a young hunter that shot an Elk at 800 yards. He had all the necessary gear and phone app for elevation. He could only measure the wind where he was of course but 800 yards can have all sorts of different wind speeds and directions. His buddy was his spotter and neither could tell where the first shot landed. Luckily it missed the animal altogether. He did connect with a lethal shot by accident on his second shot. He said he is done with that kind of hunting.
Dear Sir - you want me to put 200 rounds through YOUR brand new barrel? Do YOU want to pay for all the components and time required to do that? Engage brain before running mouth........thanks.
@quarterminutemagnums I'm just mentioning what it takes to realize a barrels full potential is all. it sounds like you are unaware of how a barrel performs until it has the appropriate amount of rounds through it. maybe you should educate yourself before you running your mouth.
@quarterminutemagnums ignorance hmmm 🤔. what do you call a person that dismisses what professional shooters around the world and ballisticians from berger, hornady, and applied ballistics have discovered? does the Bryan litz ring a bell. you should tell him he is ignorant, lol. I guess this is a prime example of the story with the tiger, the donkey, and the blue grass. good luck, my friend.
@quarterminutemagnums no reason to get your panties in a bunch. I asked how how can you come to a sound conclusion without putting 200 rounds through it🤦🏻♂️. a question is different than a statement🤦🏻♂️. blue grass, i should have known
Quality control since the pandemic have gone to he$$! Plus, quality control will only test a few pieces in a run. Unless they are testing every piece this will happen. So, it can happen at Peterson. Plus, when ur busy like this industry has been, your rushing to get product out and ur employees can just say screw it and fill orders. One other thing these big gun might preform better at longer distances. Did you test the option of a stock to make sure it will shoot the way you say? If not, you could open ur self to more headaches.
Dear Sir - A McMillan Tooley MBR is a $1,000. Then, two days (20 hours) of bedding work; plus two more long days of brass preparation and loading, plus bullets, primers, powder, brass, plus one full day for testing, plus two more days for fit and finish.............somebody must pay for all of this. Thanks.
Dear Sir - I have numerous older friends who are almost completely deaf, they are all serious shooters, they have all tried hearing aids, to a man they all stated (with the exception of social settings) they hated them. Good ones are also VERY expensive. Gun-builders are poor..........thanks.
