Curious if anyone is shooting or have tried the Proof 22 rim fire barrels and how they shoot?

Hi all,

I'll start (re) introducing myself, - as far as shooting goes - i started shooting competitively in 1980, and have been touching most disciplines that use rifled barrels. Norwegian, and won a couple of F-Class nationals, shot both PRS WCs, going to Cameo.
My main interest was always long range, and the longer the better.
I bought my first 338LM in 2009 and we had a sort of start to an ELR thing here in Norway, shot a few matches (nothing past 2500m), but it died, and PRS came along - but now we see matches coming up, and it looks fun, as it used to.

Since i bought an AIAXMC mostly for the heck of it a few years back (and used it, w. the 260Rem barrel in Bitche - i have an AI and a 338LM barrel - the typical 27" Palma profile AI 338 barrel. Shot it quite a bit at 1250, and and a little at 1600m.
I have pondered custom stuff, modern ELR cartridges and even 416Barrett, shot a couple, and yada... To expensive, too much fuss - and my old Barnard could hold its own out quite far.
The AI however is a bit too tactical, barrel is "thin", at 27" i get not enough speed, accuracy is fair w. Berger 300 (its everything short of "very good") it groups within a moa at 1000m or at least almost... But SD/ES issues, besides its light, etc - in short i do not find it optimal for ELR work, and it absolutely does not shoot brass/copper bullets.

So my gunsmith has these two blanks. Lilja 9" twist. 30 and 32" long. I plan to not use the magazine for this, but seat bullets just short of the donout area, and then also get some more case volume. I have thougt of an 338LM improved, but i doubt it - for ease of everything.
Main concern and reason for this post is twofold.

- What profile? What length? 32" MTU? Anyone done a stepped barrel, thinner in front of the handguard? Flutes? (yes for looks ) Speed, stiffness. balance? Someone must know where is the optimum?
- Barrel and bullets - will the Lilja shoot solids? Tell me about solids? Warners, Peregrines? We do have a supply issue her in Norway, and Bergers are not always to be had - today i shoot 285gr ELDMs. They are not bad, but i want solids, and we also face a lead ban. And Peregrines we have ready access to

Anyone has a thought on anything concerning an AIAX in 338LM for ELR? Everything is appreciated. And solids.

I purchased this chassis new in 2015 from Euro Optic.com before Remington released the Racs to the general public. Sorry no original box. It includes everything in the pictures. I built a Remington 5r 308 and never fired it. Has been in my gun safe since 2015. Chassis is in excellent unused condition. I will ship at buyers expense or you can pick up in East Texas. I recommend that it is shipped insured with signature required and a tracking number. I also have a nice Leupold scope https://www.ebay.com/itm/235893049493, harris bipod https://www.ebay.com/itm/235893029810, and an accu shot monopod https://www.ebay.com/itm/235893003351 for sale on Ebay if you are interested. $4000 for chassis, but will entertain offers. DM with questions or for more pictures.
Thank you and have a blessed day. SOLD

I purchased these to use with an Apex 10 press, but could never get the press' primer system working correctly, so sent the press back to Mark 7.

But I have these dies left over. They've been used, but for under 500 rounds.


Pricing:

Both the Pro Die Set and the Universal Hold Down: $225 Shipped.
Pro Die Set only - $195 Shipped.
Hold Down Only - $40 shipped.

Purchased these to use with an Apex 10 (which ended up going back to Mark 7, because it is a poorly-designed product). The swage feet are out of stock everywhere.

Pricing:

$40 shipped for Auto Centering Dies. (ONE SOLD, ONE REMAINING).
$65 shipped for Swage Feet (first one to call dibs gets to choose color).

$100 for one of each.

I have finished a 6mm ARC bolt action, and there's not a whole lot of data out. . Been fooling with the 6 arc in first a 18 inch and then a 22 in semi for the last year, so I have some baseline and experience with loading the cartridge. Did a shake down was with 10 rounds factory 108 eldm, and then a first ladder that started with Varget and the ( GAP ) Hornady 109 ELDM. Ran the ladder from 26 to 28, with depth at .020 of the lands. Liking what I am seeing, but worried I may be a bit over pressure. Hornady lists 28.1 to be max with the 108 eldm, I'm at 28. Sure seems the loads listed through Hornady seem to be much higher than other loading resources, such as Hodgdon. Ran it through GRT, and the program estimates 65 k using the 110 Atip ( modified in weight ) as the projectile. Brass looks perfect, but this is my first experience with the Nucleus receiver having no plunger ejector. Also, primers look slightly dimples in from pin strike. GRT estimates 26 inch barrel at 2822 fps and i was at ~2750, which would be about perfect.

Any one any experience with said combo or close, or could run this through Quickload if they have the time. Thanks in advance

Discovery Optics has quietly been making high featured optics in the price tier usually considered "budget". Discovery sent me a pre-release sample of their new ED-AR 1-8x24SFIR FFP LPVO. This is part of their ED line of optics, this utilize Japanese ED glass. This LPVO is an evolution on 1-6x24 ED-AR, adding illumination and a side-focus parallax adjustment knob. This feature is very rare in LPVOs. Moreover, this scope is able to focus from infinity to 5 yards.

The overall glass quality was bright, clear and sharp. While not quite the same league as the Vortex Razor HD it come much closer than most LPVOs under $500. At launch this scope is selling for a street price of $200 on Amazon and the Discovery Optics website which makes this optic cheaper than Swampfox, Primary Arms and many other budget optics! The retail version does not include rings or a mount.

Like other FFP's, the ED-AR also suffers from a thin reticle at 1x. Unfortunately the ED-AR's illuminator is typical of most LPVO's, not quite daylight bright, but useful in low light or CQB. I would suggest Discovery offer this optic with a much thicker 1x reticle configuration similar to the Sig TANGO MSR.

Over multiple range visits, the scope held zero. It has a lifetime warranty. With their new service office in California customer service shouldn't be a problem. If they can keep this unit at this price point the ED-AR has the potential to change the LPVO landscape.
