They still make actions other than Impact?…..Weird

I know, Why????

Take the elevation cap off and look inside, there's a barrel in there with a u shaped notch cut in it. Use a small screwdriver to rotate that barrel so the unshaped notch is pointed to about 2:00. Put the turret back on and without tightening the set screws rotate the turret down to zero, now tighten the set screws. You should be able to have travel into the second rev now.

Edited for clarity.

Pulled one with my old 700p

Not thick enough to the threads for me.

I’m telling you, 24 grains of Accurate 2015BR is magic behind Sierra 52/53/55 grain match bullets. Been using that combo for 35 years.

After measuring everything I kind of wish I went with the wylde chamber instead. There was some miscommunication between me and the person that pushed me towards the match chamber.

bingo

the guy at Northland shooting supply (James) talked me into that chamber also. Its way too long for me. I wanted a repeater and not a single shot and the mag length loads were another problem also.

I just started using a lot of h4350, although I have used it in the past. In the past 41.5 grains of h4350 with Hornady 140 ELD-M's from several years ago would give me around 2,720 FPS from a 24 inch accuracy international in 6.5 CM.

In a newer lot of h4350 that I recently loaded, the same 41.5 grains gave me well over 2,800 FPS.

I'm not sure if the newer lots are actually significantly hotter, but they seem to be for me. I dropped down to 40.5 grains with a 140 Hornady eld-m, it gave great accuracy and about 2,750 FPS with really good ES and SD.

I was hog hunting with thermal one night. Was scanning with the rifle and saw what looked like a man standing there. I immediately took the crosshairs off the target and yelled out. Target didn't move or answer. I continued to watch through the thermal scope and the "man" broke apart into 4 hogs that were standing one on top of the other on a hillside, two facing to the left and two facing to the right. Didn't get any of them, and was too freaked out to even shoot. Safety first.....

The Terminus comparison to the Prometheus is the Zeus. I'd take the prometheus over the other Terminus options, and I'd take the Zeus over the Kelbly atlas options. Between the Zeus and Prometheus, choose between the minor feature differences and/or whichever you can find in stock today and/or whichever is cheapest.

I've read some horror stories about excessively long lead times ordering from Terminus, and maybe those are one-off cases, but I'd only buy a Terminus from a dealer that had one in stock at that moment.

Yeah I lucked into my action as I was not going to wait an unknown amount of time for one. They are out there you just need to search.

Add Cross Machine Tool to your list.
I don't really know how much thicker they are than BCM, but they are very nice uppers & IMHO, are lightly thermal fit (as is SanTan), compared to BCM, which is very tightly thermal fit.

Sure could be. I have one in 6.5 Creedmoor, and I don't love the machining marks running down each one of the lands from stem to stern. Mine only shoots just ok, haven't seen a single inspiring group out of it. After using it up in positional practice and off-season one day matches, I do not plan on trying another.

You could try some of the old school cold bore methods. I think Mr. Gretan was using Neolube #2 on a patch after cleaning, I've heard of using Lock-Eez, things like that. Worth a shot if you think that's the only thing holding you back.

I picked this one up new, but second hand. It was cheap and I wanted to try one. So here I am.

The bore in mine looked surprisingly good. I could definitely tell I wasn't looking at a bart or lilja, but there was nothing that really jumped out at me.

It consistently shoots .5 moa with little to no load development. Which is better than their 1 moa guarantee. Found that part out after the fact. If it wasn't for the coldbore issue it would be in .3xx territory.

One other thing is this barrel is horribly slow. I do good to hit mid 2700's with a 90-95gr bullet before I get pressure. Barrel length is 22"

By contrast, the 21" proof I chambered for a friend with the same reamer, is 100-150 fps faster than I am shooting 105's.

TTT with another proce drop!
