New proof PXT Gain twist barrels

[naked wombats]

More barrel life would be awesome.
Also saw potentially slower recoil impulse.

I'm giving trying one out more thought than I probably should be.

Is interesting. Also interesting to see what Frank Green had to say. That guy knows a thing or two about barrels

New PROOF Research PXT barrels

Nice to see some refinements. Appears this is similar to what Seekins is doing with the SIC barrels...?

Thanks for that link Justin...informative

If it has the tech they claim and the results are verified this will be the way forward. If it’s even half the benefit they claim these will be good. If the DoW is going to keep pushing high pressure rounds this should become the new normal. Time will tell but I don’t mind being an early adopter if anyone wants to gift a 6cm tikka prefit in 20” thanks

and (TBF) does happen to work for one of Proof's larger competitors.

Isn't this essentially what Seekins Precision announced just recently especially as it relates to high pressure cartridges?

Not saying its old news just that its exciting to see this tech come to fruition so fast. I think Seekins said they were making their tech open source so that barrel mfgs would adopt it.

Put me in the skeptical camp. Be cool if it’s true but im not eager to be an early adapter.

I would like to try out a 20" .750 taperless contour 6cm pxt.

$1200 for a carbon fiber pxt barrel doesn't interest me.

How does the bullet respond to the shift in engraving? A fired bullet has a distinct engraving. Going from 10 to 7 twist isn't a huge change....but 0 to 8 is going to mean the engraving has to scrub the whole thing.

Listen to the Hornady podcast on it. They get more in the weeds on rifling engraving and how it affects the bullet.

I’m not sold on it 100% either, but if proof developed this tech for the DOW and is willing to put their name behind it, i think there has to be something to it.
