[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1620110, member: 24284"] I take it both barrels are 338LM? If so, all that's needed is the "GO" gage and a "NO-GO". You'll need a barrel vise and action wrench to remove/install the Proof barrel. This is NOT something I would do. I'd leave that Proof barrel alone after it has been installed. You've paid "good" money to have LRI chamber and fit that Proof Reasearch barrel. If I thought I needed both a 'plinker' and a 'hunter' I'd set-up 2 rifles. Here I am, thinking that the Proof barrel will be carbon wrapped. Be aware that brass probably won't be interchangeable from barrel to barrel, swap to swap. There are no "free rides". Maybe you don't expect as much as I do, when it comes to brass/accuracy/convenience when reloading those cases. [/QUOTE]
