Maggie’s What happened to the 6.5 guys?

Hows that, by showing all the cool toys hes got. He cant make dick from utube. He just broke 100k suba after 12 years of doing it so hes gotta be a trust fund kid or got a good job cuz that dudes got toys and hes constantly buying expensive shit to show ppl
Perhaps the fact that Gavin is clearly an outstanding engineer affords him the ability to do what he does.

Wait, you guys think he buys that stuff? He runs his channel in partnerships and free shit from manufacturers. He makes his money on advertising from his website and money from manufacturers. Don’t hate the player. Hate the game.
 
I have nothing against the guy, I went into it with an open mind. With all the positive reviews of his content I thought, "cool, I can find some actual qualitative and quantitative reviews of reloading gear, to see what works and what doesn't, and how that may help me downrange". I was sorely disappointed, he provides no such information. With all the gear he has, there's no testing to show what gear may improve precision, ES/SD, and other factors that we as reloaders are looking for.

Like you say, its just one big informercial. Literally no information that I would find useful beyond what the manufacturers are saying to sell their products. The overall quality of his videos are top notch, the content is just garbage. It's a shame that he can't provide real information that may help us steer towards certain products to get a performance gain.

Again, I have nothing against the guy. How he runs his channel is obviously working for him, so who am I to say that he should be doing something differently. I personally just find him to be lacking any real substance, there's no information in his content that I can use in any meaningful way. I don't understand how he is so popular, but hey, maybe people just like toy porn.
He did a entire video on brass prep and its affect on velocity and pressure with control group and various variables we all have heard of or used. Some of his stuff is pretty dry though. He is just another resource, but I haven't seen any other channel with good production and cool gear covering a myriad of things that he does.

I would like to see that. What is the channel name?
 
Gavin is the NuttinFancy of reloading. 30 minute video for a 3 minute topic...
hes not that bad. But he can definitely do long videos and explain almost nothing, although hes walking the fine line with YouTube's rules and algorithm as not to show manufacturing of guns and ammo.

I agree with what someone, maybe you, said earlier that his videos are basically infomercials. Hes never said anything even remtely negative no matter how small. That leads me to believe hes paid to only put out positive stuff. Which is of course not helpful when researching a product.
 
Fuck hornady. There only good at making cheap garbage. There bullets suck, there reloading equip suck and there development team sucks. In closing hornady as a company can suck it
That's why they have been around since 1948, because their products "suck". You sound kind of foolish. Do you hit the bottle hard prior to posting your opinions? Maybe your wife went out for a loaf of bread and never came back?

No stupid loom at the numbers. They are the least use product line in any precision rifle competition, be it PRS, F class what ever. THE LEAST USED. there's a reason for that buck. They bullet suck, not uniform to say the least. When I'm breaking in a barrel and just blowing off rounds I use hornady because there cheap. For accuracy I prefer bergers if I can find em, if not I run scenars. There a low cost option which there is a market for that, but in the realm of precision rifle they are garbage.

Gavin is basically a shill to whoever advertises with him. Should really rename the channel the Ultimate Advertiser.
This is pretty accurate. I like seeing all the products but yeah he kinda shills. Maybe that will change now that he is manufacturing his own rifles, albet he really is just assembling them and doing the chambering. He doesn’t make actions.

Dear Mr. reasonable and concise, have you ever had a barrel that didn't particularly like Berger bullets?

Hornady bullets make itty bitty groups on paper and comparatively larger as the distance grows. I target shoot under a thousand yards and hunt much closer than that so maybe they hit that wall and go erratic. I couldn’t tell you.

This. Exactly this. The only one who can hang with Gavin's shilling capabilities is S00TCH himself.

His "Progressive Press Shootout" was anything but a "shootout" - it literally (and not figuratively) came to zero conclusions. It was merely a summary of each press' features.
