I'm looking to build a switch barrel on the Terminus Zeus Action. One of the barrels will be a 223 Rem. For those that have done this, did you have any feeding issues that needed to be resolved? Thanks!
 
I have been shooting 300blk and 350 legend through one my zeus qc, fed by a metal accurate mag with 223 insert from Area 419 without any major problems. If I'm working the bolt properly and not going slow they feed no problem. I have to tweak a mag to be able to load more than 1 350Ls.

With the plastic lined aics magazines mine is flawless, mdt brand. And they give extra room to load longer.
Usual shoot 77gn or 80gns.
BTW my proof comp prefit is a hammer. Better than most of my custom barrels.

Recently bought a rifle with terminus .223 setup. Picked up a plastic MDT mag and have ran 180 rounds through it (Norma box 77gr) and it runs like a champ. Haven’t had a single feeding issue. The Proof pre-fit is a hammer as well.

This is the only time I shot for groups with it.

My Zeus is in a KRG Whiskey 3 chassis. The MDT poly .223 mags feed roughly but without issue on standard OAL (2.26) as well as extended OAL (2.4 or so). My 10 round MDT metal body/poly interior magazine feeds 2.26 OAL rounds so smooth your not sure that a round went in. However, it has feeding issues with longer OAL rounds in the 2.4 range.
