Very interesting video. As a former builder and competitor of rimfire BR rifles, I know very different, but the bolt work are ignition are critical. Most folks don't understand the amount of work involved to get it right. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was like "Deja vu all over again for and old retired guy". I agree with Speedy on 2 types of shooters, I never was a social shooter. After I retired, I attended a couple matches just to visit, but I never shot the match.. I visited and talked to folks.

Isn't it funny how every generation has to RE-LEARN things that earlier generations had already learned. Maybe videos like this will be super helpful to future generations and shorten their learning curve. In areas of high humidity leaving a dirty barrel will shorten the life of that barrel for sure. Carbon and Copper build up in a steel barrel will eat the steel of the barrel when you introduce humidity. That green patina that develops inside the barrel is corrosion and it's going to start attacking your barrel

I probably left a few of those hummer barrels on the table in the old days because lack of knowledge as to how the sum of the parts effected the final performance of the firearm. I did engineering seminars with Chris Barrett at their facilities just outside of Nashville on their MRAD and most of the seminars were focused around the fire control of the rifle. Today their seem to be a lot more hummer barrels as our aggregates get smaller almost daily and I feel it is due to our better understanding of the components working in sequence to maximize the firearms full potential.

So what is the best twist ratio for long range 1,200 yards and 308, if you were going to buy a off the shelf new remington and get the rifle is balanced and blueprinting, barrel action bolt etc etc. So 1 in 12 right hand twist or left hand twist, plus how much effect does the barrel tuning tool end cap does ( flash suppressor & tuning ) , does it reduce the vibrations and thats it, cheers 🦘🦘👌✌👍

1/12 for 155 grain match or 1/10 for 175 grain (rule of thumb only). Tweaking a standard action may improve accuracy a little, fitting a match barrel should improve accuracy a lot. Get a reputable gun Smith to true the action and bolt to the barrel. Properly bed the action into a decent stock or chassis. Factory triggers usually need working or replacement. By the time you've customized a base rifle, you may be better off buying something built for purpose ($$$). On average a howa 1500 (Weatherby Vanguard), Bergara, even a Ruger American will shoot better out if the box than a remmy 700. Work up a good handload. 26 to 30 inch barrel to stay supersonic at 1200. Your results may vary.

I have a Winchester M70 action that was blueprinted. The new metal is too soft and tends to smear on the lugs of the bolt. It looks like the gunsmith welded it with a MIG rather than a TIG welder. Little things are difficult to see until you put it to work. With a 3 oz trigger, this smear can cause major issues in a competition. This was a rail gun I built in 2001.

This is amazing. I'd give my baby toe to be able to learn from Speedy directly. I know that in a week I could attain an amount of knowledge that could take me 30 years otherwise. However, I am confused about one thing. In his tuner story with the two "crappy" shilen barrels he said they didn't shoot because their twist rate wasn't fast enough to stabilize his boat tail bullets but then said the tuners made them more accurate without any other changes. There's no way a tuner can affect bullet stability from insufficient rpm so this just doesn't make any sense to me. Could I get some clarification?

Great conversation guys. I loved going to Benchrest matches with my folks when I was a kid. I had a joke dollar bet with Mac McMillian the day he shot his perfect group at Skunk Creek in 1973 (and I still maintain that it was perfect). I was always amazed by the depth of knowledge and attention to detail the serious competitors brought to the game. Dad had a great grasp on all of the variables, and did quite a bit of testing when he was breaking in a new gun and working up loads, but he never kept the detailed logs and data that many of the other guys religiously tracked and compiled. He flew by the seat of his pants to a large degree, and that was enough to keep him competitive and let him take the Grand Aggregate at the Nationals in '75, but never enough to keep him at the top of the leader board consistently. It would be fun to try to get back into it again, but I have neither the time, the money, nor the discipline to get serious about it.

The outlaw types are obviously hippie types, though, so what do I know...I have to admit I fit your and Speedy's sterotype of owning a lathe and planning to chamber with it, never done it before.
