Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

[toddacguy]

It has made my rifles shoot the best they can.


Five years ago when Brand told me that he was going to build a new unit that was faster .

I said I'am in for one of the new one's befor it was even built it was just on paper.

So now it's time to retire the Gen 1

In the background under the middle deer is a target that my little girl shot when she was 8 5rds with her 243.

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

I don't think my generator delivers enough power to run one.

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

2850.00 and worth every penny you see my press not progressive.

I can grab a case drop the powder put it in the press seat the bullit put it in the plano bullit box and the next powder charge is waiting and ready.

I can load 6rds a min and thats not trying hard .

Todd, what is the wood board with the frilly stuff around it? I know a few shooters that could use something like that! (cough, CKA, Boltripper, cough)!

I want to thank you rich Texans for airing your dirty undies in front of we, the peasantry.

Todd,

Why did your daughter find it necessary to shoot Buttercup?
was she working with Mojo Jojo?

In truth, you can't buy a Prometheus II, but you can lease one for about $10/month for 25 years.

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

We are friends, and he won't sell it to me, so don't ask!

 

[toddacguy]

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

queequeg back when my girl shot that target she hated the powerpuff girls she had got that sticker at a doctors visit when we got in the truck she said I dont want it I said keep it and well shoot it so thats what we did.


One -Eyed Jack yes your right on the lease it's to keep it out of sertain hands.

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

where do you find the spec info for this thing.... website seems B/O?

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

There is no place to buy them on the Net.

Anyway, the Gen I is not made anymore. I'm getting a Gen II in the Spring and 427 has already performed certain favors for me which has guaranteed I sell the Gen I only to him.

Unless one pays close attention to barrel and powder temperature in doing ballistic calculations, a Prometheus is arguably a complete waste of money. From Denton Bramwell:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
5. If you’re not worried about a 3 degree F change in powder temperature, don’t worry about a tenth of a grain of powder more or less, in rifle cartridges similar to this one. Both produce about the same change in pressure and muzzle velocity.</div></div>

However, the U.S. economy is in a recession, and I'm highly in favor of other people spending money to no effect, which will help.

Besides, I think the Prometheus is a neat gadget as well as a status symbol. You don't buy a Rolex to know the time - they don't keep very good time - you buy a Rolex to demonstrate to the world that you have enough money to buy a Rolex. So, drive on, brothers!

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

Why does it say not legal for any commercial use on the front of it?

 

[sobrbiker883]

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

Probably because it isn't licensed by the state's dept of weights and measures, and is not taxed thereof.......

Making perfect ammunition eliminates a lot of deduction when trying to determine a failed shot. The Prometheus has no wandering zeros or powder throw issues associated with other systems. It makes SD and ES lower than any other powder thrower.

If the ammo is perfect and the weapon/optic is sound; the booger hook can always be blamed, focused and corrected. So now, I keep working on my hook.........

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

There is no such thing as "perfect ammunition."

The number three shooter at the Sniper's Hide Fall Bash concluded yesterday afternoon was shooting commercial ammunition using a borrowed rifle.

It's more about the Indian than the arrow.

Re: Gen 1 Prometheus retirement party

Right, and with the Prometheus, I just have to focus on me and nothing else.

I wish I would have known beforehand that being able to load a charge to the KERNEL of powder, completely eliminating powder charge variables, was a complete waste of my money………….Damn It…………..What was I thinking? Who cares that I’m doing this at 6 rounds per minute. Fuck…I’m an idiot.
