The truth is I look super cool with the Zero, but with the exception of really tight tolerances and work flow, the press isn't as important as consistency in your step-by-step prep and process. The Zero probably offers a bit more consistency and certainly a streamlined flow but heck, the AI guys were loading their competition ammo on a Rock Chucker for years. I have a Co-Ax and luved it for depriming and priming, but not so much changing out dies and ensuring they remained zeroed, and the design does not lend itself to larger magnum dies. I have a T-7 and appreciated the turret design and the ability to lock down a die and have it zeroed time after time, but I got an itch for the Zero last year when they did the first special run and kept in contact with them so I could get in on this year's production. I feel I've upgraded all my "stuff" so I'll be sticking with the Zero and will be selling off the other presses. Same for the dies; after I get comfortable (or not) with the SAC dies, I'll reduce my inventory. My only concern is the SAC sizing dies and how they adjust. I can easily change the bump by using a different shell holder vs their solution using drop in shims. Anyways, I've completed all my upgrades with today's arrival to serve me until my expiration date. Will they make a difference on paper, maybe, maybe not as much, but it's what I wanted to do, so I did it my way! Lastly, I just watched the Netflix roast of Tom Brady, simply epic. I'm a Pats and Brady fan and it was hilarious, probably even better if I have a few drinks in me. |

PSA: it fits perfectly in a Kuiu rangefinder case.

As an update, I returned the barrels to CLE and they did refund my monies.

The pTAR still shoots. 10 rounds, 100 yards and a bit breezy. Will have to test again on a calm day. Pretty sure this should be spot on.

I like the concept of having a spare 7-35, GBPSE

It’s interesting how many people say they don’t shoot their 7-35 on the top end. I shoot at 35 almost all the time. It is really nice to shoot a mile and see where you hit on the steel.

Looking good D3. You are getting 2800, I wonder how fast it will end up...
My 18" has not sped up at all yet, but I think it's sub 500 round count. |
