March 16, 2021Ep. 43: Ian Runkle Firearms Lawyer
Travis speaks with Ian Runkle, Canadian Criminal Defence Lawyer with a keen interest in firearms law. They discuss what might be considered dangerous questions when speaking with the police and how sometimes it’s better to say nothing.

They talk about Bill C-21, the air soft ban and the negative impact it will have, storage of non-restricted firearms when out hunting or for predator control and legalities around that.

December 09, 2020Ep. 36: Rifle Accuracy and Precision, Your Questions Answered
Brief Summary of Show:

In this episode of The Silvercore Podcast, Travis speaks with Ryan Steacy from IBI Barrels to answer all your questions that we received about rifle accuracy and precision.

If you have a story that would be of value to the Silvercore audience, or know someone who does, email us at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you!

Topics discussed in this episode:
Intro [00:00:00 - 00:02:52]
Gain twist barrels, is there merit there? [00:02:52 - 00:09:04]
Your specifications say barrel within .0001”-.0002”, which is extremely consistent. Many people talk about 22lr barrels needing a ‘Choke’. With this consistency, are your barrels not choked and is it really required? [00:09:04 - 00:14:48]
Is it common to have a schnozzle, schnabel on the end of a barrel? [00:14:48 - 00:18:11]
Barrel length, short or long for accuracy, which is better? [00:18:11 - 00:21:55]
Why different powders product different results [00:21:55 - 00:23:03]
They say you need a straight barrel bore for accuracy, is it true? How straight is the bore? [00:23:03 - 00:25:25]
Is there such a thing as a hummer barrel as a hummer barrel? [00:25:25 - 00:25:25]
Is there an optimal headspace?
What is the purpose of the shnobel on a barrel? [00:28:40 - 00:29:29]
Any plans on a barrel in 6.5 PRC? [00:29:29 - 00:30:25]
Is there any accuracy or other differences between the number of grooves a barrel has? [00:30:25 - 00:32:13]
Is there any truth to barrel break-in? [00:32:13 - 00:35:34]
How international is IBI? [00:35:34 - 00:39:23]
Whats up with “seasoning” a barrel for rimfire? [00:39:24 - 00:43:13]
How as a manufacturer do you make your barrels shoot well enough to be competitive at the highest level? [00:43:13 - 00:46:02]
With modern barrels is there any point in choosing say a Varmint/bull barrel or standard barrel for long range shooting? [00:46:02 - 00:51:05]
I’m trying to find a good reload using solid copper bullets (such as barnes ttsx, nosler e-tip, etc) in a tikka with a 1 in a 11 twist. I’m seeing lots of articles suggesting that you don’t go by weight of the bullet, but rather the length. Why is that? And is that the true way to find a good bullet for a barrel? [00:51:05 - 00:57:10]
Why are you so GQ? [00:57:10 - 00:57:38]
For my hunting rig, with weight saving in mind, should I go with a pencil barrel or a canon fibre wrap of the same length? [00:57:38 - 01:00:12]
Fast twist 22lr barrels? [01:00:12 - 01:04:35]
Cold bore vs. Clean bore [01:04:35 - 01:06:13]
How often do you clean your bore? [01:06:13 - 01:09:07]
Best practices for cleaning [01:09:07 - 01:14:20]
Fire lapping [01:14:20 - 01:16:10]
Carbon ring [01:16:10 - 01:23:05]
Does an 11 degree target crown make a difference over a 90 degree or other? [01:23:05 - 01:24:04]
Barrel or stock, which makes the most noticeable difference to accuracy? [01:24:04 - 01:24:51]
Bedding vs. V-blocks [01:24:51 - 01:26:53]
Torque settings, are the all that they are cracked up to be? [01:26:53 - 01:30:24]
Is Loctite overused? [01:30:24 - 01:32:23]
Do barrel tuners work? [01:32:23 - 01:34:37]
Will the optimal load for a barrel change over the barrels lifespan [01:34:37 - 01:35:40]
What is throat erosion and how can it be prevented? [01:35:40 - 01:37:21]
Will moly coated bullets increase barrel life? [01:37:21 - 01:40:01]
What gives premium barrel a better life span? [01:40:01 - 01:41:36]
Cryo-treating [01:41:36 - 01:42:33]
