We are friends. We design some stuff together and some stuff separate
Mister Fish Box I know that Pro spinds as much if not more than I do but to give you an example 408 Colossus photo up top in the original post you see that brass in the background that is $1,600 for that lot. And not in the photo the 416 colossus another $3000.00. custom bullets we had designed the 450 grain ICBM that's also another 250 plus dollars to load those cases and that 185 grains of powder per shot that's about 25 rounds for a pound of powder. Of course that is not including rifle build action stock scope reloading dies. Not to mention the time the effort and the energy put into designing stuff like we do. The end results is extremely rewarding to be able to shoot further and faster all for the reward of hearing steel ring. My out-of-pocket expense on the development of the 408 and 416 Colossus will be a total of about $12,000 and that is with discount and me doing the Gunsmithing. And that's just one of many rifles . Wildcats that we have done I'm guessing between Pro and I we have probably close to a hundred Wildcats approximately 30 of them are not based on any parent cartridge. We have gone to the extent of working with Pierce engineering to have currently three actions built for the sole purpose of wildcatting and John and I are working on two more as we speak. We are not alone in this endeavor there is a lot of like-minded people and companies working with us to see our dreams become reality it will not be without reward stay tuned soon I'll post a photo of the finished build with the custom 2.5" tube chassis designed for out 20x action its guna be awesome . The ex-nihilo based cartridges that pro and I designed 420 blitz 375 mars 420 enforcer 408 and 416 colossus are truly ground up re designing the modern rifle . We now have specialized brass. Specialized primers working on obtaining special powder specialized actions specialized bipods I designed specialized tuner brakes I designed we now have specialized chassis and now working on artificial intelligence ballistic software and hardware and and getting ready to devlope primerless cartridges.
no not $20 a shot you forget that the $10 piece of brass can be used over and over and over again. As far as the primerless cases this is the first time I have spoken of it in public you will not hear about it again until you see it out on the market. It won't be any more expensive then the $10 a piece iwe pay now it just won't have a primer
I see you point but extreme range is what we are looking for. 300 winbags 6.5 crudmore just wont do at the distances we have designed this stuff for. I dont take into consideration most if the items you have spoken about . dies and press and reloading equipment are tools. a mechanic never evaluates how much money he can make in time savings using air powered tools vrs hand tools he purchases too he need to be the best he can be. Barrels are like tires no one ever buys tires for their hot rod but refuses to drive it as not wanting to loose tire tread. Primers and powder is like fuel for the hot rod high performance high HP vehicles get ****** milage. I never know any one who has broken down over all expenses on the exact cost to the penny to what it cause to pull the trigger to the level you have. That's not a bad thing just strange to me. Are you a CPA I need some one to do my taxes. Lol all joking aside I understand your point but we will never allow expenses to dictate our performance or advancements in our direction of advancing the military applications and elr shooting we dont do what we do for the average joe. Only those who say I want more . Thanks for expounding your point.
Well said
