But I'm super strong, I might damage my barrel!

Amen my brother , say on!

Soot is common on 450 bushmaster brass all the way to the case head. Doesn't matter if it's an AR or a boltgun. I'm sure it's due to the low 38.5kpsi operating pressure. As you up the pressure in a boltgun the soot goes away.

I want to thank you for the message, as well as, the reloading education your videos provide. I appreciate that you are so willing to use your platform to nudge folks toward God and the teachings of Christ. It seems we live in a world where people are too often offended by; and quick to discount, the mere mention of God, Christ or religion. I know it is not for everyone, but I appreciate it, and I enjoyed this video more for it. Thank you again, and may God bless you.

Well spoken and explained. Love your channel

Great content, i do have a question. Can something as small as marking brass around the brass body with a sharpie cause any issues be it over pressure or otherwise? Sharpie is extremely thin, but i have heard this from a couple high level prs shooters at this point.

You can certainly get blowback on the case body from not enough of a slow powder, a light bullet can contribute to it, as well, with brass that has been shot a few times and not annealed. Powder gas moves a bit faster than the bullet does into the barrel, brass hasn't had enough pressure to expand fully yet, it all depends on the timng on it, maybe the shoulder seals, maybe it doesn't, maybe it seals just after some gas gets there, where you don't get a fully collapsed case, just a groove over the shoulder and part way down. I've had cold weather and hot weather hangfires with reduced loads, lube blowbacks in cold weather with reduced loads and cast bullets. I've had unsized cases have lube blowbacks show up in the 300 shot range, with breech seated bullets, never once annealed, and it wouldn't have saved that brass at that point, new brass fixed the issue.

That barrel looks great compared to my Savage barrel..... 😂😂😂😂😌🫥😔😪😪😢😢😢😭😭😭

Thank you for the knowledge you share with us. Thank you also for being a great Christian.

Years ago I had problems when reloading for .223 rem , had loaded a lot of 308 Win and 22-250 , and never had a problem , 1st ammo I made , had smoke come out the breech , and the primer was pierced .This was a std load straight out of a reloading manual , not a max load at all . I thought maybe its the brass , swapped out for Lapua , same result , a while later I mentioned it to a ammo making company , and the 1st thing he said , was I using Federal primers , Opps , too soft . So I stopped using Fed for the 223 , use Fed for large mag primers thou , went to CCI .

In terms of secondary explosions the .243 Win was always the calibre most mentioned in the past as being causing this .

I like to yhink i helped in the making of this because i emailed you and taylor about this very issue in my 22bra. Thanks for the info. I am curious greg is it possible to see false pressure signs in something like this because the case is stretching from bolt face to emd of chamber rather then expanding inside the chamber?

Well said. That is how a man speaks. As a man thinketh

Great message

Long time ago I bought a custom rifle from Accuracy Systems in Colorado. Their website still looks the same as it did back around 2010. Anyway the paperwork that comes with the rifle said that I would void my warranty for using a standard rod style cleaning brush. They stated that it's not the brush itself but the ROD that causes the damage because it will pick up small pieces of hard grime and it will become embedded in the rod, acting somewhat like a file. They state that if they saw evidence of using a cleaning rod if any rifle is sent back for repair, the warranty would be void. They required their customers only use pull-through bore snakes. I did that for a while but once I was done with the break in period I just started using a rod because I couldn't believe the stories about damage. Still shoots fine and I'm not worried about it.

I just discovered you. I love what I have seen and I love the path you are on. Keep on keeping on.

Great video. Glad you are on the path brother.

Greg. You have really helped my reloading process. But most of all you have made me look closer to my relationship with my God. Think you and God bless you.

we cannot find good powder in our country, we use old powders with cotton to fill case. cotton between bullet and powders

So, after sorting your bullets into groups, whether that be by weight, bearing surface, or base to ogive, what then? Do you load them differently? Do you load them at different seating depths? Or do you just expect to adjust your zero when you get to the next group?

This video got a little serious about half way through out of no where ?? Did I miss something ?

Just got to the end of this vid and learned your intended target audience and it dawned on me why i connect so well with your content. You are doing an excellent job connecting with the shooters your reaching out to whether they realize it or not.

Greg excellent information. I have to say Between myself and my Gunsmith we have encountered many issues with common brand sizing dies. Without even going into wildcats to mention. So for some time I have been recommending if someone has a custom chamber done by a "Smith", then have them chamber the Die as well. Just my 2 cents.

Fantastic video as always Greg, all of it! Just wanting to clarify, can a small amount of soot isolated to the case neck be within the realms of normal and not a genuine issue?

Great info, thanks for sharing

Thank you so much Greg for what you do! I have learned so much from your content and look forward to learning more.

Greg both of the topics in this video is a journey . I am on both Thanks

Love all of your content. Been looking forward to seeing the second half of your videos more and more with every new video

Greg, thanks for the explanation and stand taken to raise your personal bar of excellence and to show your unwavering commitment to it in your personal and professional life. You his will make those that truly follow you and learn from you so much better, you know your audience and are thoroughly committed to giving your best while also showing that you have made and will make mistakes.

I had this problem with my 300win mag with new Nosler brass. With my starting loads it burned the whole case body black. I just changed to Hornady cases. I got good accuracy with the black cases though.

God has his plan for you. Thank You for your service.

God bless you brother keep up the strong convictions

To reiterate the importance of powder selection.. I have seen this issue with published load data. The recipe seems to be: Light for caliber bullet.. + slow burning powder + short barrel = significant muzzle flash = heavy sooted cases! Be careful, even with published load data!

Now that’s burning the candle from both ends!

An old saying comes to mind and I use it a lot when customers start talking about hot loading or GrandPa's old hot loads. "There are Bold Reloaders and Old Reloaders but there aren't any Old Bold Reloaders". Being a Gunsmith for close to 30 years now, I have seen a lot (but not everything). On the sooting you described that topic very well, I generally see die problems and over sizing/under sizing of the brass (pushing shoulder too far back which can also cause head space problems and case head separations) due to die setup and a from die not matching the reamer used to cut the chamber or on factory rifle the chamber is oversize (common problem) or the person who chambered the rifle did not have it dialed in fore and aft and also the lack Annealing as you pointed out as well. Thank You for putting these video's together I know it's a ton of work for you folks, as a life long reloader we are always gleaning something from other reloaders (hopefully). Also thanks for the mini sermons and speaking your heart and mind a wise person should more importantly be gleaning from that as well.

Thank you!!

Every part of this video is awesome! Especially love the second half! I'm with you!

Im interested to learn about this cartridge......

Many years ago I experienced a flash over and it absolutely destroyed a fine rifle.. The load came straight out of a DuPont loading manual. It's something I'll always remember.

Iron sharpens iron. -I may have had some rust knocked off me for the better..... thanks brother Jesus is King

Go with God.

Excellent content as per usual. In 93 I was hit with a shotgun blast in the right lower flank at 5ft while working. Needless to say massive damage. Half liver,(5 shrapnel in half I kept), kidney, lower lobe right lung, part of intestine, 7 section of rib, half muscle that side, pancreas damage, hole size of cantaloupe, 7 section rib, 13 pints blood, 18 doctors, shrapnel in spine, learned to walk twice etc. Left for dead in a dark hallway. However, I was never alone. An entity with a face like the sun but didnt hurt my eye's. The purest white attire I have ever seen, nothing comparable. It would glide from where I last saw the shooter at end of hall, then back to me. An overwhelming feeling of love and care. No words can explain. Close as I can come is a baby in its mothers arms. Some how I knew everything was ok. Like picking you up from rush hour in New York and sitting you in a broomsage field with everything perfect. After a lot of work I went back to work 2 year's later as a city police officer in a small town. Today Im 100% disabled and retired. There is definitely something after all this! GOD is good! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love the tough talk Greg - Thankfully I 'get it' without you having to have to lay it out as plain and clear as you did - I'm hoping that the people you are aiming this at start to 'get it' - Unfortunately there will just still be some peoples that one has to just give up on - They truly don't deserve the knowledge you share with us - To each their own I suppose - I certainly appreciate all the time and effort you put into this hobby - Test and verify any suggestions that anyone offers and be strong and decide on your own what works best for your situation - Greg is not here to hold your hand - And hate is a very strong word - so use it only when you understand it's ramifications -

Very well put together video! Good for you! My son is a youth pastor and teaches very similarly to your message here.

Great content! Appreciate the work you do for the sport.

Awesome video, great content every time. God bless

Amen, I just want to learn how to shoot, WELL, I love what you do, keep doing!
