[QUOTE="Rhovee, post: 1639207, member: 101820"] Man if you are going to say you wouldn't want to learn some things from BR guys i don'y know what else to say. I recently spent a 3 day weekend in MT with the BR crowd and everyone there was beyond helpful. Who do you think brought about the ladder for load development? Why is suddenly the 6 Dasher the top winning PRS rifle? Almost all the BR guys in MT have hunting rifles, and they helped me tune both mine to shoot 3" at 1k on PAPER. They laughed at half the garbage i asked about for load development that i have read online. They try things, not read about them. My 24" proof carbon 7SAUM did shoot 3" at 1k after tuning. Almost all the guys mentioned that they would rather have a steel barrel than a carbon. I have both for my SAUM and can change when wanted. Heavy steel sendero fluted 28" or 24" carbon proof. Looks, Larger break, are about the only real benefits. Keep in mind that once you get your stock inletted for a proof, you will need to always shoot one or a equal steel size barrel.
