    Hammer bullets coexist with Cup/Lead Core bullet loads

    Any chance this comes down to match grade vs factory barrels or rifling type?

    Identify a marking on my Barrel ??

    1st character looks like a GA Precision symbol. They used to have a t shirt with all of their symbols on it. The numbers may be the receiver serial number the barrel was chambered for.

    Curious about butt pads.

    Has anyone tried the one that the Backfire TV guy makes? It’s called the Backstop. Interesting concept. The pad is tuned to your rifle type, weight and cartridge.

    Case cleaning

    Using ultrasonic, I’ve found that seating if very rough unless you treat the necks in some way. Annealing makes the necks worse in my experience. I don’t like the idea of adding something (like graphite) to the inside of the necks. Best solution I’ve found is to run a +size caliber brush chucked...

    Scope Mounting Question

    If it’s bore cleaner, are you using a bore guide? I can’t imagine how that much cleaner could wick up through the screw holes.

    Terminus Zeus: Cone Breech?

    Thanks for the reply. After I posted, I noticed the flat section on the Zeus vs the complete cone on the B. I was thinking the same about doing a modified cone. Not sure if it's worth it extra step though.

    Terminus Zeus: Cone Breech?

    I just received my Zeus action and have a question about the tenon print. The print shows a flat breech even though the bolt face is cone shaped. In contrast, the tenon print for a Bat B shows a cone breech for similarly shaped bolt face. Any reason no to cut a cone breech to match the cone...

    Swapping scopes back and forth????

    I remove and replace scopes about a dozen time a year. I have never had to rezero. I use high quality scopes, Badger rings, torque the bases to 65 inlbs and I always leave the rings on the scopes.
