RE: Barrel proofing, How?
eldeguello, I have also read that in the Dixie catalog and did not understand why they didn't give more info on determining the results. I've been looking around some on the web but havn't found anything definative.
I am still in the planning and design consideration stages so I haven't determined if I will buy a pre bored/rifled barrel or go for a roll-your-own kind of barrel. I do have a blacksmith friend and several machinists in the family so I think I could do it if I pool my resources. Just not sure how much I want to bite off yet.
Itwas not my intentfor this thread to get into a discussion about various barrel makers and their quality. I am more interested in the actual process of proofing and how to measure the results of that proofing.
I appreciate the comments and information provided so far and look forward to any more insights thatare out there.
Have a great day.
