| 0:00.0 | I'll be honest, the last topic I expected to do was this one. |
| 0:05.1 | 7 MMPRC versus 280 ACTL improved. |
| 0:08.7 | There are at least three other cartridges that, from a common ground perspective, share more comparable features with the 7m. |
| 0:16.4 | PRC than the 2-80-Aacley does. |

| 1:26.0 | First, let's take a minute and go to our upfront Q&A section. |
