UC,

Great review. Looking forward to hearing how she shoots.

About your ramrod. Check to see if it is extendable. I just discovered the one in my Apex is. The jag end on mine is extends by twisting counter clockwise . . . I think.

Also, I am kind of thinking that the stainless Genesis and the stainless Apex barrelsare similar. First, the QLA in the Apex is a little bigger than the groove diameter. Seems to be of constant diameter though until its final rise into the rifling. Is the Genesis QLA of similar design? And BTW, thanks for the slugging info. (Also, damcl was asking the proper procedure for slugging)

One other thing. Are the lands of your Genesis narrower than the grooves?
