RE: barrel crown
I wonder if poster Cataway told T/C that sabots shot fine but Powerbelts didn't??
Being Powerbelts is owned by bullet & ML rival BPI/CVA -- plus Powerbeltbeing it's the #1 selling ML bullet in the world, well I can understand T/Cs stance on this. They refuse to fix somethingover a single bullet-style complaint -- that being a rival bullet.
I would bet all of T/C's testings on Cataway's rifle were with T/C-packaged bullets. Had Cataway offered proof that T/C Bullets shoot poorly in his T/C inline, I think T/C Inc. would of repaired or replaced his barrel.
Just my opinion -- without knowing the facts.
