Does this look like an endcap strike?

Does this look like an end cap strike, and would it effect accuracy?

Hard to get a good picture, but I noticed a small divot at 12 O'clock on the end cap.
I cleaned it up with a scraper and some q tips to removed carbon and it appears it is a divot.
Not sure if those are cracks or scratches from the scraper, but I think cracks since they are only near the anomaly.

Any opinions or insite is appriciated.
Thanks

Teslong Bore scope

Thinking about getting a Teslong. Primary reason is to inspect chamber to make sure a carbon ring is not forming. Any other real benefit? Don't want to go down the rabbit hole of seeing things that were always there but I did not know about and thus did not bother me.

Also, a lot of models, which one will do the job w/o overspending.

Need inputs: scope problem analysis

Gentlemen,

I am considering kicking off a study of sorts to try to get to the bottom of the various scope issues that seem to be popping up. What I am interested in is not catastrophic failures, but rather reports of scopes not holding zero or not tracking or reports of weird distortion, image quality problems, etc.

The idea would be to accumulate some number of them here and then take them to a facility where I have access to all sorts of interesting hardware.
That would mean that those with problems will be willing to send me their misbehaving scope with the mount and as detailed of a description of what they are seeing as possible. It may take me 2-3 months to turn it around, so you would be out of a scope for that amount of time. I do not plan to open scopes up, so the warranty would not be affected.

I set up a poll on my website, trying to determine if there is enough interest in doing this:

SOLD Leupold Mark 5HD competition speed dial and competition windage dial.

I sold my Mark 5HD so I do t need these. Leupold speed dial some slight discoloration on the white lines from marking my turret and a small mark. DI precision competition windage dial with Weibad logo. $80 for both. If you haven’t seen this windage dial, I consider it a must have on the Mark 5

How tight do you shoulder your rifle?

Today messing around with some bolt action 223s and 6.5 CM between 500 and 625 yards i found that the consistent accuracy i had at 320 disappeared. Strelock worked sometimes. Id get in the ball park most times. It seems the differential was shoulder pressure.

Shooting a lot of spring airguns I'm used to hold sensitive rifles. I imagine this is similar, that the amount of pressure isn't as important as the consistency.
Am I wrong?

Best ballistic calculator currently?

I have StrelokPro but since its ban looking to switch to whatever is the best go to now. My StrelokPro still works but I assume at some point it wont

What’s the “go to” easiest to use currently?

I downloaded the hornady app but seeing what else I should consider. Not shooting prs so a paired system with a kestrel isn’t really needed. Something similar to StrelokPro is what I’m after

Currently I use

Leica 2800
StrelokPro
Kestrel 3500

Powerful new sedative being mixed into blackmarket fentanyl, opioids


Another day in Biden's paradise. I wonder if this is what has the local junkie population asleep standing up on the sidewalks 'round here.

I saw one the other day, standing up, completely folded over at the waist, arms dangling to the ground, phone in hand, just knocked out. Cardboard sign says "need money for food" 🙄
