Proof steel Competition Contour prefits

Been mostly out of shooting the last few years for work, starting to get back into it....

Proof's website shows their steel prefit barrels are Competition Contour, which at 26" length have a muzzle thread shoulder of 1.013" and a weight of 7lb 5oz.

Can anybody confirm the Dana 44 specifications of this barrel being larger/heavier than a Bartlein MTU?

Thanks

Question about potential throat issue on brand new Accuracy International replacement barrel, pic's attached

I just received a replacement barrel for my Accuracy International AT-X from a reputable vendor. I have not shot the new barrel yet, or even installed it.

The original barrel is well over 3,000 rounds, while it is still shooting acceptably well, I realize I'm on borrowed time as I shoot a lot.

I hate to be "that guy" with a borescope, but I was looking at the leade/throat area, and it has some marks where the rifling begins that concern me. I'm attaching a photo below, there are virtually identical marks on all 5 groves. I don't recall these marks on the original barrel. I also have a newer Proof Research Barrel that does not have any marks like these.

I really don't care as long as the barrel hammers, but the factory barrel set a pretty high bar, it has historically shot in the .2 - .4 MOA range with handloads for 5 rounds at 100 yards.

Are these marks in the rifling a cause for concern? Do you think I should contact the vendor? Should I just shoot this thing? What would you do?

It's an $1,100 barrel using a Bartlein blank, I just don't want to be disappointed with its performance and be stuck with it if there's an issue.

Video of bullets at distance

Does anyone have a source on viewing LR bullets at distance just before they hit the target? I searched all over youtube with no luck, plenty of videos with bullets leaving the barrel, shooting watermelons etc. But nothing from profile (side) view on LR bullets at distance - say 500/1000 yards.

What i'm looking for is:
1. The angle of the projectile
2. Specifically what stuff like polymer tips look like and if the factory claims are true.
3. Would love to see it on FLIR to pick up the heat signature as well.

Anyone have a resource like this? As i said, i searched all of YT and unless i'm not using the right terms... no can findo.

SAC And 419 Dies

I’ve been experimenting with different styles of dies for a while out of curiosity and have worked my way to these two. I’ve yet to buy them and wanted some input from here before I do.

Is one of these dies better than the other, and is either of them worth the squeeze?

I’m leaning towards the SAC because of how modular it is. One die would cover two cartridges I load for regularly. Plus the suggestion that it will not have the potential donut that I’m subject to get from my Redding Competition bushing die.

22 dasher build.

About to order a reamer for 22 dasher in the next day or two. Talking with Manson, they offer a reamer with .210" freebore, which seems a little on the long side to me. It's a custom order so I can technically order whatever I want with the same lead time. Currently 60-90 days.

Alpha offers two reamers, .115" freebore, and .169"

Bullets used for this build will likely be the 88gr eld-m, or the berger 85.5.

For those shooting or chambering 22 dashers, what's the preffered freebore ?
