@Bruce - awesome news, man!!! I'm glad this beast is running. More than you know. Keep the updates running, on how it's doing. This is fantastic news.

I trim cases to the exact same length every single time with these. Works every time. Same minimum case length every time. It's so simple, it's easy. As fuk.

Not really price gouging - you have to look at the industry, and be able to read it. They can't order an entire pallet of primers anymore - the inventory, because of the demand, just isn't there. It's panic-buying all over again. Before, you could just yell out to your supply specialist, "Hey MIKE! Go ahead and order 6 MORE FULL PALLETS of CCI 400 primers!!!" Big, montrous buy that will get you through 6 more months of orders, and you get a giant bulk discount, you get them 3 weeks later, and your HazMat fees are less for that literal semi-load of primers that you just bought. Not happening now. Look at the market, not the vendors. If a vendor can get 20k primers, that's like hitting a gold mine. But, it will get them through NEXT WEEK... And the HazMat fees will be higher... Perspective, man. Understand the market -and don't blame the vendors. It's not their fault. THE DEMAND is the problem pushing this, as well as COVID restrictions - didn't use to have people 6 feet apart, but now they need to be. That reduces how many people you can even have in the shop or factory at one time. Now you needs 2 shifts, not just the 9-to-5 you had before. NOW, you're running 3 shifts! Electricity, water, etc., times 3... I hope you see where I'm going with that. Hope you can smell what I'm spreading. It's not the manufacturers fault, not distributors fault, not the small shops fault... It's just the times we're in - and I outlined why we're in those times. It sucks, yes. But, it's not about gouging anyone...

Tell me about it. Bike-wise, I have a couple pistons that are 12.5:1 compression (91 octane)... then the little evil fucker that's 14.5:1 compression. THAT mean bastard is 103 octane minimum at 4600 feet of elevation, but if I run it at 1200 feet, I need 107 octane. I'll take a topend apart just to put that 14.5 in there, and fuk with people. But for the most part, I don't want it in there unless I need to really, really rip it up. Bikes and cars are different, for advertised compression ratios. Bikes always use static compression as the calculation, cars always use dynamic compression as the calculation. That's why you'll never be able to run a car with 12.5:1 compression on 91 premium pump gas - you'd blow that fucker up in no time, one rip. That's a dymanic compression number for cars, not static compression. I wrote a paper on this, I should post that bastard.

Dune day is locked in for (overnight) 6/7 Nov. The weekend before the shoot. If I can't get that Pro XP out of the boss, then we have a big-bore stroker RZR 900 to rock around in. Either way, it will be a great time. Never been to the dunes before, huh? Pull your big girl panties up, and... BRACE YOURSELF!!!

It's one of the best things you can do with clothes on, brother. One of those guys in my squad is 69, brother. He gets it done!

Internal on a rifle extension should be 9 11/16". What you have posted is 9 5/8". Probably still work, but the spec is 9 11/16".

I just put a new turbo in that thing last week - it's fast as hell...

Think she'd go for it if I take this?...

That's what she says she needs... a cage...

I asked her if she could ride a motorcycle... meaning... Can you SHIFT?! This might be a work in progress. LT-R is sitting here, waiting to be ridden. This might be a tough one, brother - Kiddie Track time and training, for real, on the Badass Kiddie Track. I have faith. Might be stubborn, but she ain't scared...

This all started out here at the SDTF, half a year ago. Secret Desert Test Facility. She was hooked then, as soon as she came out to the SDTF. It took WORK on that match, but I got her talked into shooting that match this month, and it was NOT easy talking her into shooting it. ...and she kicked ASS!... Man, I'm telling you - you talk about one stubborn girl... Ask her about her profile pic...

Miss that guy, and @Peachey. Hope to hear some updates.

Ah shiit, here we go...

Here's the Stage Info that we had to endure. Was a harsh course this month. Read all about it. Just because it sucked, made it so fun... Click 'em until they get big - they'll get bigger, so keep clicking until they do - then you can actually read the Stage Instructions...

Might as well just throw this in here right now...

My DEWS is going off - this is a trap - Nuke her... JUST KIDDING!!! DON'T SMOKE HER ACCOUNT!!! Can't believe you did it girl - very well done. Welcome aboard. If you're local, maybe we can shoot together sometime...

Price will be less at MY LGS, for certain. I'm calling him tonight.

Saw an email on this beast this morning, from Brownells. I was thinking the same thing - under $700 this is nice as hell.

I fucked alot of the 5 stages up (4 out of 5 were not good stages for me), but this was the only stage I cleaned...

I didn't do great this one, but I didn't do bad, either. DirtBike Tommy DID do great. Got GunPusher John out there for the first time, and he didn't do bad, either. New girl did SPECTACULAR for her first one ever, nervous as fuk. Jittery, shaking like a dog shittin' chicken bones... She's been shooting with us for awhile now, and I talked her into shooting this match. Hell, she can hit that hidden oxy tank that we put in up there in the hills at 609 yards at the SDTF, and it's not a wide tank, either. Why not get her out there in a match, right? It worked. She's hooked. Sarah Stage 4, stump farm. GunPusher John, stump farm... Sarah, Stage 5, timber pile Dirtbike Tommy, timber pile GP John, timber pile Sarah, Stage 1 prone, then ladder, then prone opposite shoulder. This stage sucked. DB Tommy, Stg 1 prep This is that damn ladder or gate, or whatever you want to call it, that was part of Stage 1... DB Tommy doing work on Stg 1. OH HELL YEAH! Sarah on the Sex Swing! They haven't had this thing out since we shot it 2 or 3 months ago, but they brought it back. She killed it on the Sex Swing... I'm just sayin'... Pay attention to that toe-dig that she's got going on, to load that bipod. Look close. She's GOOOD! Part 2 of that same stage - shoot from the Sex Swing first, then move to the tank trap... and finish shooting all the other targets. 7 targets to hit, total, but 9 times. 2 from the Sex Swing, move, shoot all 7 from the tank trap after that. DB Tommy on the Sex Swing

I would grill the FUK out of that lunker!!!

Welcome aboard, man - we can fix your gun, and make it run. I double-ought guarantee that.

Brother, I wish I could have tuned that thing for you, at the previous place I worked at, before they went under. I just wanted your car on MY dyno. Bad. Hidden horsepower is everywhere, from timing to volumetric efficiency - and that's where tuning is now. Breaks mt heart that THAT place went under. That is one SICK FUKER right there, that you have...
