Wonder if that's why they've been out of stock of about everything for so long. Busy trying to find another brass cup supplier overseas?
They haven't had stock of much anything but "Epstein" brass and some not very popular stuff for quite a while now.

That was my second thought. First thought was... damn, that's pretty cool. Biggest thing to happen to brass since... brass?

Agreed Stick. With the barrel nuts, it's easy to get HS wrong with the ejector left in the bolt face when using gauges. I've done it both ways and you can a much more positive feel for HS when the ejector is taken out.

On the pressure front, I see what some folks post and wonder how they even get the speeds their posting. To top it off, many don't shoot with glasses. Not a good recipe.

VERY easy to control headspace,with a 'Nut,but what fucks up most is shouldered Factory barrels and Virgin brass.

Scary...............
