Yeah lol
Don't have to dump media out of the case or poke bits out of the flash hole. I know stuff in the flash hole probably doesn't matter, but knowing its there bugs me lol
5th firing on this brass, never annealed. Sized with SAC bushing dies, primed, powder weighed with a Chargemaster, bullet seated to mag length, dry tumbled after loading to remove sizing lube.
Be more lucky? 😂
I honestly don't have a real answer for you.
Only other things I can think of that hasn't been mentioned that can affect things, do you clean the sizing lube off your cases after sizing? Do you wet tumble your brass?
I've never had to do any of that to get ESs of 20-25. I use a RCBS chargemaster, so .1gr is as fine as it resolves. I wouldn't weight sort if someone paid me to, nor would I touch primer pockets or flash holes. I never anneal, and I trim maybe every 5th firing.
Use good brass, good barrels...
I actually ended up getting one for my PRS gun, its been really good. It has tracked well in use and zero has held, usually rides in a soft case in the bed of my truck on all kinds of bumpy roads. Definitely heavy, and the reticle is really thin, I wouldn't hunt game with it.
I didn't watch the whole video, but I only heard him say "sandbag", does he explain the rule more at some point? Seems ridiculous to allow tripods but not bags.
I have 480ish pieces of lapua 6cm. ~400 of them have a velocity ES of 30ish for all the shots I track with a chrono, ~80 of them are 50fps faster than the rest. Luckily I happened to have them separated by lot before I discovered this. Depending on application, it may not matter. These are for...
I think the simple wind meter models are definitely worth it. Where I really find it valuable is when the wind speed is over 15mph or so, helps get you a lot closer on your first guess when you can get the speed at your location.
