Gunwerks Long Range University

This episode of Wind Call Wednesday introduces a challenge where viewers must judge wind speed and direction based on mirage to make an accurate wind call for a shooter. The video details the specific rifle, ammunition, and atmospheric conditions used, emphasizing that wind flags can be unreliable. Instruction is provided by an expert from Ghost Firearms Training LLC.

This video demonstrates the proper technique for firing a bolt-action rifle, specifically the B4 Armory CSS, in a prone position. It highlights smooth bolt manipulation for cycling rounds and confirms successful hits on a TA Targets steel target. The visual evidence showcases the rifle's takedown design and the quality of the Schmidt & Bender optic.

This guide details a long-range shooting session focusing on zeroing the Vector Continental 2-12 scope and comparing the ballistic performance of different 5.56mm ammunition types. It highlights the importance of proper zeroing procedures, utilizing ballistic calculators, and understanding how ammunition changes affect holdovers. The instructor, an experienced hobbyist, self-critically analyzes personal errors in zeroing and technical failures with apps, emphasizing lessons learned for future range trips.

This video from Warrior Poet Society delves into the often-overlooked impact of temperature on long-range shooting accuracy. It aims to educate viewers on how atmospheric conditions, specifically temperature, can significantly affect bullet trajectory and explains how to compensate for these environmental factors to achieve more precise shots. The content emphasizes practical application and understanding for rifle enthusiasts engaged in long-range marksmanship.

This guide explains the practical application of a chronograph in precision long-range shooting. By measuring muzzle velocity with devices like the Caldwell Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph, shooters can input accurate data into ballistic calculators. This process is crucial for achieving precise shot placement at extended distances, enhancing overall accuracy and effectiveness.

This video details a long-range accuracy test conducted with an M16 rifle featuring a 20-inch barrel at a distance of 101 meters. The test setup leverages previous performance data to evaluate the rifle's grouping capabilities at this specific range. The expert demonstrates proper firearm handling and a methodical approach to ballistics evaluation.

This video showcases a remarkable 1376-yard elk hunt by a 12-year-old using a Gunwerks rifle chambered in 7mm Rem Mag. It highlights the critical importance of precise range estimation, scope adjustments (32.5 MOA), and marksmanship for extreme long-range success. The hunt involved significant preparation, including hiking and dry-fire practice, culminating in a successful two-shot engagement on a bull elk.

This video demonstrates the significant impact of the Coriolis effect on long-range bullet drop, particularly at 1000 yards. Experiments show directional POI shifts of up to 11 inches (over 1 MOA) when shooting East vs. West due to Earth's rotation. The data suggests collecting ballistic data North or South to mitigate this vertical error.

This video details the initial steps in transforming a factory Remington 700 Sendero into a long-range precision rifle. Key modifications include upgrading the trigger to a crisp 2-pound pull and performing a crucial bedding job on the recoil lug for enhanced shot-to-shot consistency. The process emphasizes meticulous preparation and precise application of bedding compounds and torque settings for optimal performance.

This video showcases a successful long-range coyote hunt in Montana using a Gunwerks rifle. Dustin Butler demonstrates effective predator calling and engagement techniques, highlighting the rifle's performance across various distances, from close-range shots to over 500 yards. The 'range, dial, and kill' workflow is emphasized for efficient long-range hunting.
