Not in terms of any arbitrary cleaning procedures. Barrels generally will speed up over the first 100-150 rounds though, but that’s all barrels. (Approximately 100fps)
Get you some Thorro clean down that barrel after all shooting, my proof barrel went up 75-80 after 150 rounds and a good cleaning groups tightened up slightly
ELD Match has honestly been shit for the last few years now. My last lot of 147’s had an ES of 75 and SD of 28. I can buy S&B for half the cost and get twice as good ES/SD’s.
Thank you for the video. Enjoyed your wind anylysis. Interesting. I’ve been thinking about a proof for my Cross. We appreciate your expertise and hard work producing your vids.
I over came the same problem with a bag rider buy purchasing a piece of aluminum channel 3/4 x 1/2 at Home Depot. I epoxied it to the bag rider very carefully to keep straight , problem solved. I have the same rear bag . Added nothing for weight and I made it slightly longer . That’s for what you share with us
Hello! I’m looking at getting a new rifle for hunting and plinking! In 6.5cm I was looking at the bergara wilderness carbon hmr, Springfield waypoint, sig cross, or building one?
Ive heard mixed reviews about carbon barrels. Ive been thinking of getting a straight jacket armory proof barrel for my Cross but im concerned it wont be as consistent as a steel barrel. I want it to be both a hunting rifle and a fun gun. I'd be curious to see how your groups stay consistent over the course of 10 or 20 rounds, and how it responds to being shot while decently warm.
Actually that range, targets, tposts, etc. all belong to a friend of mine. I didn't look real close at how he attached them. My guess is some kind of cowboy ingenuity, and a little luck.
The SD and ES for the 140gr. ELD Match is about what I got a few months ago out of my Bartlein barrel and using the Garmin chrono. It was the 2nd group ever out of the new barrel but I got an SD of 13.9 and ES of 42.
Are high SDs and ES's maybe because it is a fresh barrel?
Yes. This 👆
yes it could be that. I'll test again after the barrel breaks in.

Thank you sir.
Did you have to do a barrel break in for the barrel? Just ordered a proof for my 308 fix.

@@PrecisionRifleNetwork ok good I’ve done them before on a few rifles and it always felt like a waste anyway.

cool, thanks.

I don't like the 147s either. Don't have good luck at 1000 with them
Yeah I've been hearing mixed reviews lately. Unfortunate, because they used to be excellent.

Dam out correct! Should be Thanks for all you share
Thanks for the comment and for watching.

I have been happy with my Cross. I recommend them.
sorry for the delay. I can highly recommend the Sig Cross and I have had good luck with Bergara as well.
I can't remember in the original video, what was the factory barrel group sizes? This Proof can do .5moa obviously.
I didn’t shoot any groups in the first video, but the factory barrel was usually 3/4” - 1” groups at 100Y.
The horizontal stringing on the Express looks like trigger press dude, no offense....

Nice work sir! I am thinking of doing the same on my 308 Cross Trax. I didn’t realize how easy it is to swap barrels. Thx
No problem 👍

I hear you. On that note, no barrel performs well when overheated.
Nice shooting, those Proof carbonfiber wrapped barrels are fast🔥🔥🔥
Thanks. Yeah no complaints here.

How did you hang your targets on those T-Posts? Did you fashion those yourself, or is there a place where those can be bought?

@@PrecisionRifleNetwork Ha! They look solid! Thank you for getting back to me on it.
Great video, thank you.
You bet!
How much corn did you bag?
LOL atleast 4 or 5 stalks.
I have that same spotting scope, what phone mount are you using??
Here you go. It's not perfect, but it's one of the easier adapters I've found. www.apexellens.com/product/f002-universal-smartphone-adapter/

I expect better than that, don’t you?
Absolutely. I've heard from multiple people that Hornady's ammo has been a bit less consistent since covid
@@Blanch1792 same
I had the same results with there 223 and there 6.5 prc ammo but just the Match ammo some of there other like the ELD-X I got good results from.
Nicely done Sir.
Thank you kindly
