Wow my favourite 3 guys on CZcams all together in one great video.Fantastic content, you’re going to get hooked with this game . You guys are going to pull me away from mid range benchrest to give this a try . Keep us up to speed with the build
Gavin, let's see a step-by-step F-class rifle build.............................. great show !!
Awesome show! Looking forward to watching your F-class rifle build Gavin. Congratulations Erik on winning SWN!
Love your videos F-class John. Keep up the great content all!
Love hearing EC talk. At 34:00 made me smile. My son is a 2 time state FTR winner and I watched him at one match wait 6 min to take take the next shot as the mirage changed 180 deg and he waited it out for the condition he wanted.
Erik’s description of the nuances of shooting F Class are spot on. The mental intensity component is real. If you think about analyzing all the input for making a good wind call and condensing that in a short time for making a good hold in intense competition, it’s exhausting, but great fun!
Yes! t was also interesting the difference in his intensity discussing F-Class vs when he is interviewing others on his channel, in short, he is on it.
Erik Cortina's loading setup is awesome too, it you've never seen it.
In the caribbean we shoot F-TR against each other, and Canada, Britain Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It's jackets, slings, open peep sights (NO scopes) at 300, 500, 600, 900 & 1,000 yards. You should really try it. When we travel to shoot we generally go to Canada or Bisley in England. It would be nice to shoot in the USA.
Oooh excited for this one!
Gavin you need to build the ultimate F-class rifle
What a good time! Nice presentation.
Looks like F class is going to grow big time
Build a competitive rig from the most available components, as you described.... 6.5 PRC brass, 7mm bullets, etc etc. Go bananas, but keep in mind everyone who wants to get into F-class, and make your build attainable by the masses.
This is absolutely perfect. All the things that I needed to know about F class.
Glued to this. Looking forward to more F-class content.
I've got a great build coming up when I can get the parts! (working on it)
Great video. I have been watching all three gentlemen as I learn reloading and now moving into F Class shooting.
Great conversation. Thank you guys.
Excellent video for anyone looking at dipping their toes into F class thanks for sharing....
Fantastic show and can hardly wait for the follow up content.
The stars are aligning!
This was one of your best videos yet these guys are legendary !
Really enjoyed this. Excellent job with all the right questions.
This is freaking awesome... thanks for sharing this huge amount of knowledge
Dude do it! I’m excited to watch the journey 🤘🏼
Love, love it!!! Thanks so much.
Great video guys!
Great video fun to listen to keep up the good content
Great content Gavin.
Grear stuff keep up all the hard work....
Thanks Gavin & Erik 😁
Looking forward to this!
A great story would be to build and chamber an F class rifle in 7PRCW. Then show taking 6.5 PRC brass to 7PRCW brass and modifying dies for that round. Then reloading for it.
That was so cool! Total fun but I learned a lot too.
Fantastic video!!! 🐕
Very awesome! I wish I were younger. Very Nice!!!
It is amazing what one can do nowadays. I run 32" barrel in .308 and push 150gr Lapua Scenars at 3100fps .... with amazing accuracy. A simple .308. FTR, a final destination for all F open shooters :-)
Come on down Gavin! You need a break from the cold, you can find it down here.
Wow 3 legends in one show!!!
Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Gavin , you got some great advice from Eric , I shoot midrange f class but I wish he had gone a little further down the rabbit hole of history , the john “F” that he was referencing was a highpower shooter whose eyes were no longer at their prime . To get into the game now and learn the nuances of wind and mirage can only be learned not taught because your rifle will have it’s own set of constants based upon caliber, twist rate, and velocity , in my youth the game was high power and you shot only one of two calibers 30, or .224 and the effect was uniform across the course , so teaching was possible but learning was still necessary , there is nothing better than a 308 @ 1000 yds to drive that home , and bear in mind we shot iron sights with the service rifle . That pedigree and experience has no peer unless it is rimfire at 200 yds which is where I would recommend you train to be cognizant of the minuscule changes in the atmospherics and its effect on your score ,,
I grew up shooting service rifle matches as well. It was some of the most formative time of my life. Later, in the Army, it really came in handy for training my soldiers In marksmanship. Good to see my kind of people in these comments:)
Gavin you and John need to put together a shooting school that covers PRS and F class with precision reloading on the west coast. And since your in Washington and he’s in Oregon I’m sure you guys could find a great range that would compliment something like that.
I like your cleaning regimen on new barrels.
I’ve heard many times that barrels need LEGALLY to be marked with caliber, etc.
While the customer may want it marked, I don’t believe there is any LEGAL requirement to do so.
Could be a European requirement. For example barrel on my Tikka is serialized.
Fun stuff - looking forward to seeing these guys shoot your 1000 yards range on the ridge!
I’m hoping they struggle a bit so I can say “see, those winds are wicked up there”!!! 😂😂😂😂
I'm surprised you haven't tried F-Class. Your first time trying would be a great video.
Wow Awesome thank you
I'm curious if your F-Class rig will be a Cortina Duplicate OR a competing UR Rig. E.G. Brux barrel vs Bartlein/Krieger/Lija/etc... Looking forward to all 3 of your future videos
Gavin. You need to come down to TCGC and shoot one of John’s matches. Super fun
Congrats to Erik on the winning of the South African F-Class match. Great job back to back wins! I do have a question regarding this video for Erik. Early in the video when you are discussing wind and hold...initially you started out using "tenths" in the discussion and then later when on target and hold during F-Class matches it became MOA. Do you bounce or what is the reticle calibration in your optics?
Looks like I'll be converting my 7mm rem mag to PRC at some point
"Paralysis by analysis" true gold!
Very cool so lovely & stunning!
Gavin, we have 600&1000 yard in Vegas if you can make it.
When is V2? Also when are the 6.5x7mm dies gonna be ready?
Eric, my dad Pat Lundy is the NRA mid-class (and was long range for yrs. too) senior champ since 2012. 450 33x. Have you ever met up here at Forbes in upstate NY?
Need to come to NB and visit Adam for some F class
Erik what’s the optimum twist rate using 180 Berger for the 7PRC
When will the Cortina expanders be ready?
Bruh, I've been watching his Texas Barndominium channel for years, and had no idea he's huge in the Guntube community. Lol.
Erik is multi-faceted :)
That was an awesome interview. Every time I listen to EriK i learn something. So who makes the 7 PRCW reamer and dies that Erik was talking about?
I think the design is Alex Wheeler who came up with the reamer design, it's likely made by Dave Manson. Erik uses the chamber die and reams out his own dies. It's super specialized
Manson reamers has the print.
@@ErikCortinahey Erik. I was in a discussion about some of the components that you have mentioned before that win F-Class matches. One guy brought up that “lots of guys are switching to Peterson brass.” I sort of quoted you and mentioned the blue and yellow boxes. He had no response. Lol.
Erik should interview Carl Bernowsky, 10 time NRA high power rifle champion.
So I have a question I see 300 wsm is a caliber used a lot why no longer magnums? (for example 300 Norma Magnum's? )
How was F class John’s experience with F class and the RPR?
great video but you never talked about what type of rifle and scope and where do you go to purchase any feedback on the rig for f class would be helpful
Thanks! I'm building an F-Class rifle, please see: czcams.com/video/kLEWh4ynTAg/video.html
How long are the barrel on FTR or F open? Contour?
ADG makes 7mm SAUM brass.
What are John and Eric using for keeping heat signatures out of their scopes from the barrel.
The benchrest and F-Class shooters often use a sunshade over the barrels.
Also, Gavin what is the name of your gunsmithing shop. I am in the Tacoma area and want to come over and check it out.
Precision Rifle Concepts!
Thanks!
time to go down and do erics 500 yd blackjack compition. and maybe texas plinking 1 moa at 1k match aswell
I know Eric explained this but I'm a slow learner!! Is a 7PRCW necked down 7PRC to 6.5mm or is it a 6.5PRC necked up to 7mm??
It’s a 6.5PRC necked up to 7mm
Ultimate Reloader vs 500yd blackjack
I actually don’t think you could clean up 7 rem mag and make a 7 prc. I have both and I’m pretty sure you’d have to re barrel. Respectfully Eric because you are the man and I have my 3rd tuner brake on order right now😂
@@Honkers716 the shoulder is longer w the rem mag so your tolerances would would be way out of wack. Anyway, Aaron Davidson agrees w me so I’ll go w his opinion.
@@Honkers716 Dude step off. You’re going from one subject to the other and you seem to be arguing with yourself. Take your meds and move on.
fun
Erik, F-John, and Gavin: Don’t your wives hate all the attention you guys get???
I enjoy these but when you get Eric going boy look out.. thanks boys, was enjoyable
Da hell is a Shain? I can’t find it on google
