had to turn the velocity down too, was shootin 260-270 at the masters with the stock bolt and it was shooting almost 300 when i put this bolt in, got a few comments on how sweet it sounded too.
p/m strawb if you want one, he might be selling them sometime in the future... if your lucky
What am i gonna do with you ollie, i give you a prototype to test and a week later your advertising them on a public forum
Next time i'll make you sign a secrecy agreement first
Bit early to say if i'll be producing the bolt or not, for now we're hard at work testing but initial results look good.
Around 5000 balls shot without a single chop or barrel break and it looks like a possible efficiency improvment although that needs a lot more testing to confirm.
Will post up when testing is completed and i'm sure it's viable to produce them in resonable quantities, until then it just takes too long to turn them by hand (around 2 hours work per bolt)
