Why shifting point of impact with the plugs, you can do that with your scope adjustments. I would like to see if you can tune it to differences in group sizes

Hello, I would like to know the distance from the end of the barrel to the first hole of the compensator to obtain the best accuracy. Thank you.

nice review, do you think there is a difference in recoil between the gen 2 and gen 3 with recoil? Not interested is the tuning part so much, If yes, how much more recoil percentage does the gen 3 remove? Thanks...

It's really not. I'd say if your a right handed shooter take all the plugs out of the right side and half out of the left. Then reverse that advice if your a left handed shooter. Quick and easy 😁

Hi. That was an amazingly clear video and process. You explained it really well and is likely the process I will use. The only thing I might do differently would be to delay the main clean until after the case trim etc... just in case any particles of brass remained. Thanks again mate, great content.

I'm gonna decent here and say on a properly setup target rifle there should be no barrel compensation only recoil reduction. If a rifle has a center of gravity and butt pad aligned with the barrel no comp is necessary. Now if you have a lever action rifle my bets are off.

Excellent! Decapping dies are very inexpensive and a good first step. Do your ever clean your dies with brake cleaner or carb cleaner? I live in Alaska...did you purchase your annealer on the internet? I like your step 2 expander mandrel for 0.002" neck tension...do you remove the expander ball from your full length sizing die? Thanks!
@thetacticaltexan81023 жыл бұрын
Okay here goes 😁 Yes, I clean my dies with brake cleaner every 5-700rds it keeps them slick and shiny. I did purchase my annealer online through the annealeez website. It truly is a top notch piece of kit and makes annealing one of my easiest operations. As for the my FL die, I either remove the expander button completely if im wet tumbling and have already removed the primer. Or, if your corn cob tumbling you can take a dremel and grind the button down to where it doesn't actually "expand" the neck but you still get the functionality of being able to remove the primer with the pin. Usually when you remove the button you lose the primer punching pin as well. I hope this helps!

@@thetacticaltexan8102 Thanks. I also use a decapping die to remove the primer, and completely remove the decapping/expander ball rod from my full-length resizing die. I reload for hunting and some of my cartridges were nickle plated brass so I clean my dies frequently as nickle is hard relative brass and I don't want scratched dies. Thanks.

Hi The Tactical Texan. Very helpful video, thank you kindly for posting it. Just so I understand you correctly, when you said at 13:21 "I was hitting, watching it move", you don't mean that's where the shots were hitting - you mean that's where the scope/rectile moved to - as in that postion? Hope that makes sense mate. Cheers - Stu :)

Did APA have a sight-in procedure they recommended that was different than yours? Trying to understand what this is going to do for me vs an established zero. From the standpoint of hitting where you aim or are dialed for, are you using this as an attempt to keep any barrel movement as close to zero so you can judge each impact better? If it keeps the crosshairs glued to the target through the shot then it makes perfect sense. Where you ended up at, did you just add a click of windage to the right to complete the zero? Thanks for the video.
@thetacticaltexan81024 жыл бұрын
Sorry if I was unclear. You will use a standard zeroing procedure with the scope. The tunable ports on the muzzle break are to aid you in staying on target through recoil so you can see your hits/misses. And it works incredible for that. I can tell a difference in where the rifle ends up with every port I open/close

So I came from using an APA gen 2, so the lateral recoil management was the same. But the URP ports helped tune the muzzle rise a ton. In my opinion definitely worth the upgrade to not even come off the target

@thetacticaltexan81024 жыл бұрын
Honestly I've never used the fat so it's hard for me to compare. I have heard from other shooters that the fat does a marginally better job than the little. If it's a super lightweight rifle I say go with the fat for the $30 extra and be safe. My rifles are heavy so the little B has always been good. Hope this helps! Any more questions don't hesitate to ask

APA recommends the fat for .338 and larger. When asked an APA customer service representative what they recommended for a .308 he said the micro bastard would be plenty. But, because I also have a rifle that is on the lighter side I went with the fat bastard. It works great for a light weight .308 rifle.
