Yep. Hell, baseball alone can teach you that with all the moonshots you get in Denver vs east coast ball parks.

***Higher humidity equals less dense air and a higher velocity More water in the air = more space between air molecules = less dense air. But, yes, you can pretty much set humidity to 50 and ignore it for most shooting scenarios.

@@kenchang619 thanks. I’ll edit the comment. I couldn’t remember exactly how it worked.

I think about it in terms like I was jetting a two stroke dirt bike.

@@kenchang619 That is not accurate. The higher the humidity, the denser the air. “Air” is a mixture of molecules, mostly nitrogen. Water vapor is denser than all the other gases present in atmospheric air, so by all logic more water in the air = more air.

Great point

That is the joke.

😂 nerds for the win

especially when he comes to realize that CBTO and the amount of bullet-jump is a thing - - and how deep factory ammo is seated; and what that means for precision. There's a reason precision shooters hand load. They have tuned their seating depth to some number like .012" off the lands. Whereas that factory ammo he's settling on could be .110 - .190" (in his chamber)...within a single box varying by 80 thou or more. And a high S.D. is going to be "good luck, nerd" when you are talking about a 2.5 foot difference in bullet drop at 1000 yards - if your box of ammo is giving you an ES of in high double-digits. Regardless of how much money he's sunk into all of that other gear. I predict he'll be turning towards hand-load development, sooner or later. Probably sooner.

There’s also quite a few very accomplished shooters in the competition realm, for instance Eric Cortina who if I’m not mistaken doesn’t believe in chasing the lands. Would really depend on an individuals obsession for perfection and what level of the spectrum they’re on 😂

was just out at my second ever long range competition here in Montana and i was in a group with some experience dudes and our crazy wind and constant wind changes was even challenging them and their shots.

Good comment. It's honestly making me think about selling my more budget long range setup. I love to shoot it but honestly haven't in 6+ years. I'd probably be more of a liability with it in wrol. There is the thought of having it and giving it to someone with experience but they would probably already have a good setup if they are experienced. Probably better off just sticking to pistol and cqb rifle stuff.

It’s all relative.. anybody can learn their dope and get hits at 500m with a decent 5.56 and optic… doesn’t take some mythical effort.

@@farastray1 i watched guys with a lot of experience miss some 500 yard shots with much larger rounds due to the crazy wind we get here in Montana. dont act like its super easy at all times.

If you kan shoot 1 moa group at 100 metres you are ready for long range. No magic required. If you are seroed at 100 metres you will hit at your first shot at a 1000 metres, as long as your data and windcall is correct. I rapeat, is you can shoot 1 moa or better at 100 it is good enough. I won my first long range match with two shots taken at 500 metres.

and if you don't want to spend tons of $ on ammo, there's always 22 PRS. I won't say 22LR rifles are less $ cause the rimfire PRS rabbit hole goes as deep as centerfire PRS.

No joke. At some point, you send your rifle off to get lot tested and start buying .22lr ammo in thousand dollar increments. But yea…chose NRL because it’s…cheaper…yea…😂

Would love to do this but my area being alberta canada only has 2 prs matches once a year from what i can find and i have allot of trouble timing it with my work.

@@crownember560 Come to the states! At the rate Biden is letting in folks, you should be fine.

Most if all, I love that Lucas freely admits his mistakes, shortcomings and gaps in his knowledge. It means that to the normal bloke on the range, if he is struggling, he can look back at a T-Rex arms video and think to himself "Well if Lucas struggled with this, then it's not me, and I can overcome this" There are FAR too many content providers that "never" get it wrong or make mistakes. They become unreachable idols that cause many people to give up because they believe "I'll never be that good"

With trex arms you don't have to watch the whole thing to know it's quality

I have a nx8 2.5-20 on a 16” SPR. Absolutely amazing scope. Love everything about it. Probably bit overkill considering my 308 for hunting has a 3-15 vortex viper on it 😅

Mpvos on sub 16" barrels are a vibe

THIS. His videos literally taught me enough to sit down and get first round impacts out to 900 yards on the first day. Got on 1000 eventually. Can't recommend him enough. People hate on him but it's hard to argue with how comprehensive his video series is. That and you can listen to it passively (in shower, driving) in places you can't read Cleckners book

I started on it as well. Two years later I qual for my first time PRS world chanpionship.... (IPRF)

​@@brockedandloaded6034why people hate on him.

@Herezjush he had cancer, survived, but gained some weight. I think new ppl just see him as a fat fud because they're ignorant of the above. He is pretty heavy christian based too, that could be part of it as well.

@Herezjush I think what he said. He's a super nice guy, kinda goofy sometimes with that northern accent, and Christian. That's a recipe for haters unfortunately. What gets me is his teaching is spot on. People may not like him but can't really what he's teaching. Maybe it's because it's free and comprehensive. They see it given away for free instead of selling you on their long range 101 class where they show you how to zero a rifle.

I thought 338L was the $20 bill LOL

Lol

I like clones and am quite jealous of your glass. I have a complete M40A1 I had built in the 00’s, except for no Unertl.😭😭😭 And yes there are way better options. It’s just cool.

M40s arent bought, they're built by Marine Corp gunsmiths. Its hard to get better, mechanically, than a blueprinted receiver with a clip slot bedded into a fiberglass stock.

@@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz it was built by probably the best Marine gunsmith, Eric Reid. Built on a Remington 700 from 1966 with a USMC contract barrel. Mcmillan smeared Camo stock that was a USMC return. He used Winchester bottom metal, machined exactly like the RTE did. The Unertl scope mount I bought from Mike Green, who was the guy that bought Mrs Unertl out. I would say it is as close as you could get to the original.

Agreed, his (TR’s) series is fairly comprehensive, especially for free on the Tubes.

Truth, Lucas you will find a quality rig with quality reloads is where you will end up. Keep up the great content.

You really do need to hand load to get where you wanna go with precision shooting.

Match ammo will do for popping watermelons.

He still doesn't know what he doesn't know. It is great to see the change happening. Knowing his type of obsessive compulsive personality in how he does things, I'd bank on seeing him start handloading and probably some content within the next 5 years. The frustration alone of constantly dealing with lot number variation and wandering poi will get him there as it did most of us.

@zulu_delta09 totally agree. He's not a "half-assed" kinda guy, but right now doesn't know enough to realize how important it is. His money will help offset getting into it, because he can buy the best ammo and a ton of it from one lot at a time, which will help, but in the end if his goals are high enough, he will reload.

hey brother, what would you say is my best option for a magnum cartridge bolt gun for not 10-15,000 dollars like the ones in this video? lol the tactical precision chassis look sooo cool and I love it but man I could never acquire these guns he's got.

@@tyonidus9337 Built your own on a custom action like Curtis, Terminus, Tikka, etc. get a 24" bartlein or brux barrel, and any chassis or stock you want. Bottom metal and trigger is subjective. You can really be closer to the 3k-7k range depending on optics if you build your own

My favourite combo

​@tyonidus9337 don't let price deter you. Check out my channel for budget based long range. You can do a lot with a simple Ruger Precision Rifle, Tikka, even cheap Savage 10/110. People get caught up on how much a gun cost. If it's got a good barrel and shoots well, you're going to be the limiting factor. I'm more scared of a guy with thousands of rounds and new barrels through his Savage than a guy with 200 rounds through his Surgeon. (Not being funny)

That was very well explained. The reloading rabbit hole is quite deep, but when you find a load that the rifle likes 🤌

No book required. "People deserve the government the get." -- The Ancients.

@@goosecouple I’ve heard that attributed to quite a few folks, which i learned reading books. Ones inherent right to self defense supersedes any document, nonetheless the book I mentioned provides the contemporary context and political/social conversations/situations that would have informed the founding fathers. Those pieces are important when defending the 2nd, and other Amendments in the world today.

Lots of very good options out there. Primary Arms seems to be same or better then scopes 2x or even 3x the price. I didn’t expect much and was very surprised

Arken optics makes excellent scopes price is not always indivitavie of quality.

Arken makes a decent scope especially for the price. Where the issue comes in is you might get one or two out of ten or twenty that have a 98% tracking accuracy. The others can be anywhere in the spectrum. Also someone isn’t going to spend what it cost to be competitive or “ accurate “ at distance in a rifle platform then stick a budget optic on it. They might but it just doesn’t make sense. After all the name of the game in long range precision is limiting variables in your shooting system. Also based on the fact that Lucas is using factory store bought ammunition I’m not sure he’d be the best to accurately perform such a test. There would be things that would influence his test outside of his control. Any of you ever take a box of Factory Match Ammo and pull each cartridge apart? I challenge you to do so and see that you find… check the bullets base to Ojive length on each…. See what the percentage of difference there is in a box or 20. Then measure the powder volume in each case…. What’s the difference in a box Then do the cases check the length and weight… all that will explain why most but not all factory ammo has higher standard deviations in shot to shot speed and the extreme spread of the speeds throughout the entire box of ammo. Just one reason precision shooters load their own ammo.

Vortex is a great company. A persons budget and needs should drive their purchase. For those that depend on their optics because they have money or more riding on weather the optic will perform the best warranty is one you don’t ever need to use. You get what you pay for in life an it’s no different with quality optics. Vortex makes amazing quality products but your Strike Eagle isn’t remotely in same area code as a Razor. Dang sure no where near that NX 8. But if a person shoot twice a year or is half blind, they could look through a Tangent and not be able to recognize the difference.

@@joeygreen7854 I’m not saying strike eagles are the same as a NF. I’m saying a NF is not 2-3x as good relative to the price being 2-3x. At some price points, you’re paying a premium that does not correlate linearly with performance. You’re paying double or triple for marginal improvements/advantages. I believe most people can spend less on a vortex and their PRS/long range experience will not be all that different from someone who paid more for a NF. I also believe that a company that offers a warranty similar to vortex’s has to put out quality and durable optics that 90% of the population can rely on. If not they would be bankrupt. The other 10% are trying to to trijicon things to a vortex and then need to utilize their warranty

⁠Ok, that’s a fair statement… Yes, there is a level in optical quality where you reach the a break over point and the juice may be very little for that squeeze… I’ll agree with you totally there and I will also agree that most entry level shooters wont see or know the difference. Also as you said, Nor will it make any impact on their performance. However this is only because of their performance level and inexperience. There is a marked difference in the performance quality. If pointed out by an instructor or professional even the inexperienced shooter will see the difference. However do they really need the quality? That’s only a question they can answer. You are only handicapped by your equipment once you’ve reached your proficiency level with that system. I think we are totally in agreement here 🤙🏼

America is a Constitutional Republic. Constitutional Republics guarantee specific rights per their constitution, unlike a democracy which is rule by the mass media which convinces average people they are well informed. The two forms of government are on the opposite ends of the political spectrum.

@@dentontxflatearthguy2903 You are right. I looked in to it a bit with the help of an AI: The Founding Fathers used several descriptors to describe the United States instead of "democracy" or "democratic system." Some of these descriptors include: 1. Republic: The Founding Fathers often referred to the United States as a "republic." This term emphasizes the idea that power is held by the people, but that the government is not a direct expression of the people's will. Instead, the government is a representative body that is elected by the people to make decisions on their behalf. 2. Constitutional Republic: This descriptor emphasizes the importance of the Constitution in limiting the power of the government and protecting individual rights. It highlights the idea that the government is not a pure democracy, but rather a system of government that is bound by a written constitution. 3. Federal Republic: This term emphasizes the idea that the United States is a federation of states, with power divided between the federal government and the individual states. 4. Limited Government: The Founding Fathers believed in a limited government, with powers strictly defined and limited by the Constitution. This descriptor highlights the idea that the government has only those powers that are explicitly granted to it by the Constitution, and that all other powers are reserved to the states or the people. 5. Constitutional Liberty: This descriptor emphasizes the idea that the government exists to protect the liberties of the people, as defined by the Constitution. It highlights the idea that the government's power is limited by the Constitution, and that the people have certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government. 6. Self-Government: The Founding Fathers believed in the idea of self-government, where the people govern themselves through their elected representatives. This descriptor highlights the idea that the people are the source of government power, and that the government is accountable to the people. 7. Federalism: This term emphasizes the idea that power is divided between the federal government and the individual states. It highlights the idea that the government is a system of shared power, where the states and the federal government have distinct and separate powers. These descriptors highlight the Founding Fathers' belief in a system of government that is limited, accountable, and based on the principles of individual liberty and self-government. They emphasize the idea that the government is not a pure democracy, but rather a system of government that is designed to protect the rights and liberties of the people.

The Founding Fathers did not use the term "democratic society" to describe the United States. Instead, they used terms such as "republic" and "constitutional republic" to describe the system of government they established. The term "democracy" was not a widely used or well-defined concept during the Founding era, and many of the Founders were skeptical of pure democracy as a form of government. In fact, the Founding Fathers explicitly rejected the idea of a democratic society in several important documents, including the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. For example, in Federalist No. 10, James Madison wrote that "democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention;" and in the Constitution, the Founders established a system of government based on representation and checks and balances, rather than direct democracy. Instead of "democratic society," the Founding Fathers used terms such as "representative democracy" or "constitutional republic" to describe the system of government they established. These terms emphasize the idea that power is held by the people, but that it is exercised through elected representatives and a constitutional framework, rather than through direct democratic decision-making. Therefore, while the Founding Fathers did not use the term "democratic society" to describe the United States, they did establish a system of government that is based on democratic principles and values, such as representation, individual rights, and the rule of law.

Yep. D.C. vs. Heller's PRIMARY holding was that possessing a firearm was an individual right UNCONNECTED with service in the militia TO INCLUDE defense of "hearth and home." Not sure how someone who consistently bashes people for not understanding and appreciating the 2A could get it so wrong, but Lucas somehow managed.

@@lytening79 Exactly. The three reasons provided in Heller (with a full recitation of the History of the 2A) are 1) Defense of hearth and home, 2) defense of country from foreign invaders, 3) defense of country against tyrants. The law challenged in D.C. vs. Heller was one that prohibited/restricted firearms ownership IN THE HOME.

The constitution was born off the back of fighting a tyrannical government. I really doubt he is saying that you cannot defend yourself against individuals and more so expressing the fact of what the constitution was originally intended for since so many people refuse to recognize that.

Except no. The Heller case is added ret-con. The 2A, AS WRITTEN & INTENDED, is 100% about countering an oppression & tyrannical government. So NO the video doesn't need pulled down & changed. YOU need to unfuck yourself.
