Justin Reagan Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Actually a couple of them in a row. Pretty tough, but smooth. At first, I thought that maybe it was mis-labeled HRS or easy CRS, but afterwards, I bent a 7" x 1/4" square with relative ease. Tried a red and a 5/16" fbbc afterwards, but only slightly kinked the red and did nothing to the fbbc. Maybe I got "hard batches" (at least that's what I like to think!).... Justin Quote

dimmers Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Well done! I believe the new batch of bastards from fbbc calibrated to 450, so they are very tough! Quote

Tim71 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Nice work! You're definately one your way to the bastard and red. Eric, calibrated at newer red at 460 lbs a while back and the newer bastards live up to every lb of that 450 lb rating. They're tough but you can get it. Great job on a tough piece of steel.

gazza Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Justin congrats on the PRs and the fact that you kinked a tough RED after those PR bends shows you are not far off keep plugging away matey and those REDS and Bastards will be fearing you.
