I've had good results with my first one, a Christensen Arms barrel in 300 ultra. I've shot the heck out of it. So when it came time recently for a new barrel I decided to try the Proof Research. I had this one chambered in 300 RUM as well but this one has a 1 in 9.4'' twist. I'll be pleased if it shoots as good as the first one.

I've heard from a very opinionated gun smith that they weren't lasting long and were burning out quickly, but the claim seems unsubstantiated so far.

Just got back from shooting a 6.5 GAP 4S w. 26" Proof Sendero 1:8" that I did load development for last year. Owner bought a new scooe, so I mounted it up and went and sighted it in. Pushing a 140 HVLD @ 3150 into .2s.
This is the 200 yard group it shot during site in.
