Bingo
So are you retired yet?
If I go past you in WY to shoot speed goats I'll try to stop by.

800 rounds and you won't be able to hit your azz with it! You can't stick that much powder into a case and blow it down the bore without throat erosion!! Get back to me when it 'goes' so I can say "I told ya so!" I'm kinda thinkin that anyone building a rifle like this does not really give a big rats azz if he has to re-barrel at 500 - 800 rounds.

That, and throat life seems to be determined more by bore size vs. case capacity ratio, rather than how much powder is being used....

Anyone who builds a rifle like this knows the barrel won't last forever and always has another on order. Just part of owning a toaster re: all the F-Class open shooters.
I just keep vizulizing those SWFA turrets popping off the first time this BEAST roars.
Can't wait for the first range report

A bit undergunned for elk. Should be just right for PDs and antelope.
