Klem Wrote:OCD is correct, and after watching the video (on 2X speed) it reminds me of the difference between field rifles and Bench Rest. These guys have a lot of shooting experience, but if you shoot an AR or hunting rifle, often with factory ammunition you will likely never see the improvements Jack Neary is advocating. These guys spend a lot of money on eliminating the variables we have to account for. 8kg guns, on $2K bench rests, with 10 wind spinners between you and the target. Their goals are tightest groups at short range, in a competitive environment, where only one person wins. Our shooting goals are different.
Yo Klem:
You actually had the courage to open that video up and look at it?
Hearing a discussion between extreme accuracy champions on cleaning a barrel would be nothing short of torturous for the common man.
You must have some sort of mental armor that allows you to watch that sort of thing and not come out in a coma.
I admire anyone who has the discipline and skill to become a champion in any sport. You don't get there without a lot of work, mental toughness, and a streak of pure stubbornness. Their sport demands anal attention to detail in everything if they are to compete at those levels.
More power to them. I am sure we both went through the cleaning with Hoppes #9 Plus, Sweets, J.B., spending a good hour cleaning the barrel. I got deprogramed when I saw guys who were much better shots do the basics and leave it at that.
Anyway -- some day tell us the secret that allows you to look at such technical discussions without going brain dead.
