If any one hasn't had the pleasantry of being in a kart racing community before.....This little documentary describes what it's all about very well. Family, community and damn good racing. I have never met someone at the track that wasn't willing to help me out or make me and my chassis faster. Everyone helps everyone. Really good times! ;)🤜

These are great fun! I ran Yamaha 2-st KT-100's for about 10 yrs and had a blast. Did well at the local level and tried at the national level for a few years. Also fun but tough to compete financially as at that time future Indy drivers were also racing and had HUGE support. Got away from it when I moved and built a home a few hrs from the nearest club track. Since then a very nice karting and full size race facility opened up about 1.5 hrs away. Watching the shifters really makes we want to get back into it.

223 freebore - Factory ammo jump

Question for the Hidemind,

I want to build a 223 trainer setup like my 6.5 CM - impact action in an MDT chassis with 28” MTU contour barrel.

My smith stocks 1-7 twist brux barrels and his 223 reamer’s freebore is somewhere in the 0.100 / 0.125 range (he has to confirm exact dimension with me).

The thing is, I will be shooting factory ammo for the forseeable future. So no rounds longer than SAAMI length at least for now.

Who has experience with this much jump and factory ammo? Am I shooting myself in the foot?

69 and 77 SMKs loaded by whomever are on the menu, and maybe some factory loaded bergers.

Thanks fellas.

Never in my life would I have ever believed that pump jacks would be a "tourist attraction."

If you're wanting a small one to set up to screw with your neighbors... There are lots of them sitting in dealers yards around here. Might be able to find one pretty cheap.

Baker Hughes is one of our customers. If you think the "nodding donkeys" are cool, you should see one of their down-hole pumps in action... A pump jack will trickle oil out at a rate of a handful of barrels per day... Some of the BH pumps will lift some crazy amount... Like 40,000 a day.

How they are able to engineer sending an electric pump down an 18,000 foot bore WITH the power cable attached is beyond me... But they have a host of eggheads that have it figured out.

People that don’t know think you just pump oil out of the ground with a submersible or a jack and its all good. It ain’t so. The recharge rate of the oil is king. You have to pump at the rate of the oil recharge or else you get all water or nothing. But even then you got to pump it down. The depth of perforation, length of stroke, motor speed and motor pulley size all matter. And then you get into pulling vacuum on the backside of the tubing. It’s a fairly simple machine but fine tuning to match the formation is a thing with real returns. Submersibles are a different ballgame with their own factors.

most people think pumpers and oilfield workers are by and large white trash dumbasses, but the good ones know their craft very well.

Correct. I tried a few different Salmon River Solutions rails. This vid shows them both. The rail setup shown near the end is what I've been running the last year or so.

I thought about adding something like that to my Impulse Big Game in 6.5CM but decided against it. I can put it in a HOG saddle if needed.

That looks like a Boyd's stock for your Savage Impulse. Correct?

Did you also add and ARCA rail to it? If so, which brand did you use?
