Memorial Day is more than a long weekend.

Today and always we remember those who gave everything for this country.

Pretty cool look at the inside of one of these new @proofresearch PXT barrels, looking forward to testing 😎#proofresearch #pxt #accuracydevelopmentsolutions #accuracyiseverything

Been running the @proofresearch PXT for over a year now and can finally talk about it.

Short version: it delivered.

Ran it through the Gas Gun Division at the @gaprecision GAP Grind, @quantified.performance , and @thegasgunshow finale, came home with wins from all 3. The platform was a @sonsoflibertygw Broadsword with an 18” PXT in .223, @vortexoptics Razor 6-36, @ottercreeklabs Infinity w/ brake, running @hornadymfg 73 ELD-M in @shellshocktech and @hodgdonpowdercompany

What impressed me most was the range it was comfortable across. I’m talking 2750 all the way past 3100 fps depending on the load and it just kept printing small groups. It really showed its capability at the Grind on those Pro targets. Hammering first round impacts at sub MOA steel.

After a year of competition and training I can say this barrel earns the hype. Looking forward to pushing it further in upcoming matches and getting more PXT barrels into the rotation across different calibers.

PROOF PXT

What a time to be alive, where manufacturers are defying the norm.

I got my @proofresearch PXT barrel last week and decided to break it in at the @nrlhunter @defiancemachine Anti-Social.
I’ll do a full review on my YouTube channel sooner than later, but after talking to the team at PROOF and digging into the data they’ve collected, this technology is pretty dope.

Quick summary.
1. The bullet doesn’t slam into the rifling. Traditional barrels engage the projectile at roughly a 6° angle and spin it up to full twist rate inside the first quarter inch, but PXT softens that engagement by 95 to 98%, starting closer to 1:250 to 1:500 and progressively accelerating down the bore.
2. The rifling profile is different. PROOF reworked the land geometry into a smoother edged profile that reduces engraving force on the bullet by around 30%, which means less projectile deformation, less wear on the lands, and slower throat erosion.
3. What it means for the consumer. PROOF’s testing is showing 30 to 100% longer barrel life before accuracy falls off, plus 20 to 50% tighter groups across different ammunition and lot variations. For a competitor or hunter, that translates to more rounds on a barrel before truing it and more consistency when you can’t get the same lot of ammo twice.

Pretty excited to start collecting my own data on this thing and see how it holds up over real round counts. I’ll report back honestly, good or bad.

The 7 Backcountry is a commercially-avaiable cartridge with a chamber pressure of 80,000 PSI - it can obviously be hard on barrel life. So as we worked through validating PXT, we wanted to take one as far as we could. You're not going to believe what we show you in this video.

THE NEXT generation of barrel technology is here and some of it is already in the wild. Proof Research is helping lead the charge with their new PXT Rifling technology.

Over the last year, I’ve had multiple barrels in hand, testing them hard and continuing to push the bar higher. The evolution in performance, consistency, and overall capability is very real.

What’s interesting is that many of you have already had the opportunity to shoot these barrels without even realizing it and the response has consistently been the same. The difference is noticeable.

From belt-fed platforms (yes, we’ve done it) to the everyday shooter looking for every advantage possible, this technology has the potential to change the game for those who demand more from their equipment.

PXT has changed barrel technology forever. Longer life, greater accuracy, and easier to shoot. Plus, it's available now.

All love for the timeless 223 Wylde.

Smooth shooting, versatile, reliable, and just flat-out enjoyable to spend time behind.

A few carbon fiber 223 Wylde setups ready for their next chapter.

7 PRC shines because it strikes a balance.
Heavy-for-caliber bullets, strong downrange energy, and all around performance have made it one of the most versatile modern magnum cartridges out there.

Pair it with a PROOF carbon fiber pre-fit and you end up with a lightweight, capable setup built for everything from the range to demanding mountain hunts.
