[QUOTE="Alaska2006, post: 1407746, member: 92741"] I'm doing some barrel break in on this one. Super impressed with the Proof barrel, this is my first Proof carbon fiber and it sure cleans up nice. shot 1 and cleaned up in 3 patches down the pipe. shot 2 and same story, shot 4 same thing 3 patches and it was clean and free of copper. shot 6 and first patch had very few small flakes,chips, second patch was clean except for the RL33 carbon. Chased a couple more patches down the pipe to get all the carbon, zero copper (green) showing. so after a total of 13 rounds down the pipe at 3,021 fps across the lab radar I'm fairly pleased with the quality of the Proof barrel. There were no signs of pressure but were fairly mild loads of 85.2 grain pushing the Berger 195s. I didnt really plan on running much hotter than this, in fact 3,021 with an ES of 11 kind of surprised me for this new build right off the lathe and some break in loads I put zero care and love into. I'm at 5,600 ft above sea level here so I'm sure the thin air is helping some on the MV. [/QUOTE]
