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.
