Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

Just picked up my SRSA1 today. I’ve been thinking about picking up a ES tactical barrel in 300prc. What’s the verdict these barrels?
I have two barrels from ES Tactical. The first is a 284 Winchester (Proof barrel) and the other is a 308 Winchester (K&P barrel). Both are tack drivers and turn around time was very reasonable; about 3 to 4 weeks.

Can’t speak to ES Tactical, but I definitely recommend 300 prc if you haven’t shot it. I only shoot factory ammo and have had great results with Hornady ELDM at a very reasonable price.
 
If anyone else is having lazy ejection from their gen 2 standard bolt I bought these on Amazon to try a while back. Still not quite as strong as I'd like but it does have a little more pep. They may fit other bolts as well. I'll see how it lasts.

Eta: can't get the link to work. Uxcell .5mmx3mmx20mm 304 stainless steel compression springs. $5 for 10

Can anyone confirm the trigger pull weight screw is M4-0.7 and 8mm long? Also, it's a flat tip, right? When I was looking for a replacement, I saw some that had a pointed tip. Mine backed out and I didn't notice until I was at a match

I hate to bump my own question, but...

I bought M4-0.7 set screws, but it's almost like it's not thick enough. If I push down while I'm trying to thread it in, it feels like it's slipping past the threads, so it might be M5 or not metric?

Edit: Disregard. I found it's an M5

I’m sure
Does anyone know a reliable source of proof reasearch steel barrel replacements for the SRS? All I've found so far is one place that does carbon fiber barrels.

My
I'm ordering a 300 PRC barrel from SAC shortly.
300 PRC is a proof barrel chambered by SAC and it’s awesome.

2 things:

1) Mark (SAC) said a lot of guys are having great luck w/ Varget and 73gr ELD-M in his 223 conversion. Anyone have some load data for that setup they care to share?

2) if anyone wants a 6.5 Creed covert barrel , I have one I need to sell in the PX to pay for said 223 conversion
 
I'm thinking about using some of my bonus money to pick up a Covert in 6.5 creedmoor and join the Desert Tech club. Does anyone around Northern Virginia or the surrounding area have one I can test drive? I'm happy to buy beer afterwards.
