Original Wolfhound:
I can't tell you the number of times I've been talking to him on the phone and he tells me "got another email asking if my CVA/Traditions is safe with 100 gr charges. How many times can I say I don't know? I've never heard of a CVA/Traditions blowing with that charge though."
This is precisely what I am talking about.So you are telling me thatRandy doesn't know whether loads which range from 8,000 to 14,000 psi (2f BP)up to 460 grain projectiles are safe in a Spanish barrel? Come now. Doesn't know because each and everybarrel is tested only 10,000 psi? What wasmy NEF barrel tested to? What was my T/C hawken barrel tested to? It would surprise me if either barrel was tested at all.
They could have. That's what Randy expected them to do.
Wolfhound, I know Randy expected them to. I just don't think they owe himanything. Regarding Randy'ssupport for standards, I support that whole heartedly. I just think the governing body to set those standards should be headed by someone other than Randy. Frankly, I don't think he is qualified and I think he's too involved with "relationships" to do it right.
Happy Hunting, Phil
