Hey guys,

I couldn't shoot today, but I bought some Hornady SST's in 250 and 300 gr., also found some 300 gr. shockwaves. Upon cleaning my barrel I noticed the front ram-rod bracket was kind of cock eyed. It wasn't resting flush with the barrel. I was able to move it with finger pressure. After unscrewing both brackets I noticed they both are contoured to fit tight under the barrel. The front one has a ring of metal raised around the screw hole. IfI were to grind it flush, their wouldn't be enough material to hold the bracket by the head of the screw. I don't think this is supposed to be this way!Is it possible that this could be causing some of my accuracy problems from vibration? Also do you guys shoot with your ram-rods in place under the barrel? Thanks, DREW
