Schedules are a double edged sword in that they keep you working, but they can also lead to burn out and rushed projects that you aren't proud to release as your product. That will start a cycle of negativity and stagnation. The schedule can be more of a guide line than a rule set in stone, "must put something out no matter what". If you aren't happy with the project, take the time to make it right, not "right now". Thanks for your hard work and dedication to the hobby, Mr.Bench.

Johnny, try this, you have nothing to lose. Take the barrel out of the upper. Get yourself a piece of red scotchbrite pad and split it to make it thinner. Wrap a small piece of it around a nylon .243 bore brush, add a small amount of non-imbedding JB and take 50 passes down the bore from chamber to muzzle. DO NOT pull the brush back through the bore. Take the brush off at the muzzle and pull the rod back through. Then re-install the brush and go back through to the muzzle for 50 passes. It's tedious removing the brush, but it MAY save the barrel. If that doesn't work, a new barrel is probably in order. Good Luck.

I had a simular issue with a .308 a few years back the it would not group under a inch no matter what I would do. It was very frustrating. I ended up getting the wheeler bore lapping kit it, comes with 3 different grits and you coat the bullets. It helped a ton with it now shoots 1/2 pretty consistent. The only down side it will eat the throat a little but for me this wasn't a issue, because I planned on shooting 175's at long distance. So having the longer distance to seat the bullets provided a bit more case capacity and some better powder choices. Hope this helps you out.

JRB, there are three common methods of barrel rifling. Cut, forged, button. It is very common on button rifled barrels to see those brick like marks. Savage is famous for their cheese grater barrels and also that they usually shoot great. Tikka says they use hammer forged barrels so your case is mysterious. Bore scope your Savage barrel and you should see what I mean.

Only problem so far you’ve cost me a fortune in dies, two Mighty Armory sizing dies and two Redding Micrometer seating dies.

Just a suggestion for the Tikka. I know a lot of guys shoot "free recoil" now. However, my Tikka T3 laminated in .300 win mag, and my fathers T3 in 25-06 in the Tupperware stock shoot better "traditional" (pulled into shoulder with trigger hand and at forend) I personally add light pressure downward on the forward scope ring instead of pulling back/down on the forend. The .300 shoots better this way in both the original and in the fiberglass stock it has now. Groups went from 1.5" down to 5/8" MAX using the same factory ammo on that gun. The 25-06 went from 2.5" down to 3/4". I have found multiple friends Tikkas that also shot much better using this method. Food for thought. Looking forward to the next video.

That barrel is a manufacturing defect. Looks like stress fractures from something being on the mandrel when they forged the barrel around it. This is one of the examples of why cut-rifled barrels are usually more accurate than hammer forged. Forged lasts longer but cut-rifled/button-rifled barrels generally shoot better.

Then patched it out and it took every bit of fouling out. It shines now! I've used everything you've used in this video except for the Lead Out.

I've tried my hand at it and the final result was less than impressive, because the shells just didn't crimp right. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I'm just not seeing 'how to' videos about press adjustment like you do for rifle & pistol. 3) the .223 series will continue when you're ready for it.

AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! This is a fun channel (for some of us) and sometimes when we're showing our appreciation you may get the idea "Gosh! I've got to get a new video out!". When that happens, making the videos isn't fun anymore. I say take a break when you need one, I'll be back to pick up where you start again. I'm still at the beginning of my reloading hobby and you've published a very good library of reference material. Not all channels can say that. As far as everything turning into a big project...my wife told me the other day "Honey, your projects have projects." I would like to propose a video idea. While you load with various powders, how far off the beaten track have you gone? I recently tried Accurate LT-32 in my .223 and I got some very interesting results. Interesting enough that I'm going to load some more and see if I can duplicate the velocity results and then see how it prints.

Regarding the barrel... Get the lead out then use felt pellets with WhiteDiamond metal polish. You can get it at most auto stores, Wal-Mart in the auto section, and I think Homedepot had it in the cleaning products area. You'll find this cuts a lot faster than JB, and leaves a glassy smooth surface. Follow up with favorite cleaning solution and some patches, then maybe some carnuba wax. The carnuba works well in airguns, not sure of the value in a firearm. Had a barrel far worse than that on my Benjamin Bulldog, finally ended up replacing the barrel because I spent so much time on it that it opened up about 0.001. That was a lot like of hours trying to get similar flaws out. Everyone should buy one of these Teslong scopes, helps see problems and in the case of things like the Sig p322 and their leading problems, helps keep manufacturers honest. The Whitediamond polish is good for other things too. Polished up some brass pieces before nickel plating them for a muzzleloader I'm building. Also polished the case hardened bits of the hammer (lock) before nickel plate. Polished the nickel plate after the plating process too. For as fast as it cuts steel, I'm surprised how well it shines other metals. Now my go to product to treat new airgun barrels when they are less than stellar.

I really felt what you said about the past two years. Ironically, while I used to enjoy growing a little of my own food (at my age, more as a hobby than anything sufficient to live on) I found that I gradually lost interest in that and a lot of other things that used to seem important. Maybe it was the sense of isolation, maybe the feeling that I could not significantly change what was going on around me, but I just lost interest. By contrast, your reaction seems a very healthy response. I would really not be concerned if you now feel drawn to a different pattern, a rearrangement of schedules and priorities. I came upon your channel only very recently, so I've seen a compressed version of your years of work, but I've been impressed by your steady, patient, logical and meticulous approach to problem solving.

Johnny, Bubba Round Tree on You Tube is a master teacher in shot shell reloading, simple and down to Earth! When it comes to gun cleaning, chemicals are a teaser when you want to get down to bare metal. I have every bore cleaner on the market at this time. What does work on hard carbon is Iosso and Montana Extreme plastic brushes with JB, Iosso, Montana Extreme copper cream, and Flitz firearm bore cleaner, which is perhaps the most aggressive. Another great product on the market now is Thurro-Clean. Another technique that should be used prior to using the plastic brushes and abrasives, use the very best bronze bristle brushes made by Dewey and Pro shot. The best bronze bristle brushes are good for 60 strokes (stroke one forward and one backward), and at 60 strokes if you will remove the brush and put on a new one, you are way ahead of the game. When the brush has 60 strokes on it, wind Fine Bronze wool in the brush, and clean, then add some of the abrasive on the brush. This is a massive improvement in cleaning using Fine bronze wool. Types of powder used is a huge factor in your gun cleaning, check the Heat Index Chart on powder, which is different from a Chart on Burning rate. IMR XBR 8208, R#15, Varget, and H4895 burn incredibly hot, and these powders can cook the powder fouling on hard! Soaking with chemicals is good for when there is little fouling in the barrel, but I have a Hawkeye and Teslong bore scope, and have yet to find a soaking solution that removes all the carbon. The issue becomes for many, what is clean or what is clean enough. Also, make video's as you feel inspired, you will be at your best. I have watched you grow and learn over time, keep applying yourself. A video per week is planned BURN OUT on your part. Every reloader and serious shooter should own a Teslong bore scope, then you become your own expert in gun cleaning...lots of snake oil out there being sold to the unsuspecting. First thing you learn is that clean patches does not mean a clean barrel. Carbon gets hard and will not show color on a patch but will still degrade potential accuracy of a rifle. Loading Buckshot, Slugs, and Tri-Ball loads in shotguns is a hoot, and you can far exceed the patterns of factory loads with more velocity. Wade of Bubba Round Tree on You tube is simply incredible in teaching to get long range buckshot loads, and molding buckshot and slugs. Johnny, to be inspired to make the best video's, you must not be burnt out. Charge your batteries for a while, take a break and figure out where you want to go. Best wishes and I look forward to your coming teaching sessions

Looking forward to some shotshell loading, I've dabbled in it a little, but I can't ever get the shot or wad column right and never get good fold crimps. Hell you can make videos about gardening, and survivel for all I care.

Johnny please keep doing what you are doing! We come here for quality content and information. Don't start rushing crappy vids out like other channels! I'm especially excited for the shotgun reloading!

Even with a wire brush on my cleaning rod it took a long time to clean a .458 barrel that looked like that. Smooth bore. Looks like your barrel is undersized. Check the land and groove diameters when you get it clean.

I’m pretty sure Wipe-Out No Lead is basically the same stuff you made that suppressor cleaning video on, “The Dip”. Could be wrong, but it smells the same and it reacts the same when you drop lead into a cup of it. I’m a big fan of the Wipe-Out product line, seems to work well.

Here's the thing, you make interesting and entertaining videos with a good vibe, period. I started watching you for reloading, but I found I enjoyed your chicken and pig content, and the video game stuff. I think the key for me is that when you are interested in what you are making a video for, I end up finding it interesting and entertaining. I'd rather see videos that you care about, and not quantity. Looking forward to more chicken videos, and the shotgun reloading stuff especially. Keep up the great work.

Late to comment, but I love your channel. Do this thing your way, man. No one else does it better. About the Tikka, I hope she starts shooting. But if it doesn't, maybe rebarrel into 7mm08. I think this is a most underappreciated caliber but the most versatile.

I naturally have a bit of a scattered brain, and just picked up a small metal lathe the desperately needs some work, in order to even use. I've also been crossbow hunting, and planning muzzleloader season. I probably haven't reloaded any ammo in a atleast a month.

Thanks you for being a voice of reason and not posting yet another video pushing the next panic buying of toilet paper, ammo, etc. Looking forward to your venture into shot shell reloading.

You can always trade bullets for beans and vise versa! In the great depression, those where the two things of value from what I've heard. Food to eat and you had to protect it from theft.

I definitely lost my mind and went right down the rabbit hole of .22LR. Chasing the 1 hole 5 shot group consumed me. I went heavy into .22LR in part because I didn't want to eat in to my supply of bullets and primers for centerfire. Awesome video! Thanks!
