question about the action
« on: October 14, 2005, 04:11:41 PM »
if all this is is m80 coverstock (bully if i'm thinkin straight), how do they expect it to hook that much? is the core really that much more aggressive? just wondering.

Lower RG core than the Big Bully and higher differential for more flare potential, I'd say that the Action will hook more even though they have the same cover. Faster revving and more flare is what I expect from this release.

Big Bully - 2.50 RG 0.044 DIFF

Action - 2.457 RG 0.050 DIFF

examples are for 15#

Also, there are three different strengths of the M80 shell.  Pretty sure Shawn told me that the first three Bullys had different levels of aggressiveness and that they could vary it, also can add pearl.
