My Distressed Terminus Zeus Build is a GO !

[Lowlight]

Getting ready to start the 6 ARC build so I can play with the different bullet weights and speeds, I am gonna pair this build with a gas gun so I can look at the progression from gasser to bolt in the 6 arc space.

My Zeus build is on a Zermatt Matterhorn stock which is just crazy nice.

The barrels are being spun up by Bugholes as we speak for some Terminus PreFit Action

I have a 20" and 24" barrel coming so can I can experiment with the shorter barrels in the 6 arc space as they intended but also a longer barrel to get the speed, in the end it may require a 26" to get it right for comps, but I think with the factory bullets we have a potential to bridge the gap in cost to play, correctly.

With Hornady having a :

105gr at 2750, we know this is probably too slow, it repeats the Valkyrie numbers but with a 6mm so...

Then they have the 103 ELDX which is 2800, might be the right first try, the speed is correct.

Finally for factory loads i am lookin at, the 80gr Varmint load 3000fps, this might be the ticket considering the results we are seeing with the 100gr 65CM. The 100gr 65CM is bad on paper, great on steel, so at 3k, the 80gr load might be the ticket

Anyway, this is my start, more to come

I've been playing with a gas gun for this... but a bolt gun is going to be the way to go.

I'm also trying some PVA 6mm copper solids which are running at around 2900+ FPS... That's out of a 21in BBL on an Odin Works upper that is otherwise fitted out just like my bolt guns.

Really interested in seeing your results.

I have a PVA drop in for the ARC CDG in 6ARC showing up... so that'll also be a nice comparison.

I will be on the podcast today to talk to Paul Craddock about the Gas Gun side of these cartridges

 

[Niles Coyote]

You will like it! I enjoy mine even if it's to slow at 2720.

 

[Lowlight]

I know there is slow, but I also think you can get that magical 2800 out of it

Matterhorn is my next stock to purchase. Seems like a great blend between my McM A5 and MDT ACC.

 

[MidTNHunter06]

Awesome. Still deciding what I am going to do with my distressed Zeus. Already did a 20in arc with my standard Zeus last fall. Haven't played with it much yet. Got 2659fps with factory Hornady 108eldm and 2762fps with Druid Hill 90gr eldx. View attachment 8656500

The switch calibers of the zeus are next level ... so easy

I have two Zeus now, with 3 bolts, heaven

Nicer than your AI?

 

[Infidel4life11]

6arc is where it’s at!

 

[Lowlight]

Nicer than your AI?

It’s more flexibility, the AIs are AIs but the Terminus lets me go in other directions via chassis changes

While not my Zeus, I used this in Cameo, Terminus Apollo View attachment IMG_0655.jpeg

Saw a Matterhorn in person for the first time a few weekends ago. Was very impressed. Something about that dark gray and walnut blend. Seemed like less tool and more art. Was thinking of doing something similar but going with a 6 BR variant.

Interested to see what performance you get out of the 6 ARC in the bolt gun.

 

[Caba]

Nice rig. You're making it very hard not to go through with a Terminus QC build.

 

[GBMaryland]

Seriously thinking about doing that…. And I’ve got a shit ton of CDG actions.

 

[Guns&WhiteWater]

That’s going to be my next action (CDG). I got hands on one a few weeks ago for the first time and it was the smoothest running action I have ever cycled. I love my TL3 and 737, but wow.

 

[oldrifleman]

My latest build used a Zues QC as well as a CRB barrel, distressed Samson with a Bix’n Andy pro X 2 stage. All my other builds are 737Rs, but on a 22 Creedmoor I expect yearly barrel changes so I went QC.

Don't forget the 106gr Hornady TAP!

I have the 6 ARC but also have a 6BR barrel on my AI. Just a little more speed (2890) with the 105 hunter vlds.
