How else do they test these rifles for strength -- how else do they show proof to a judge/jury when they are about to be sued for something?
Who is they? Randy and Toby? If that is who you are talking about, then I say they defend themselves by saying that they stringentlyobeyed the guidelines of rifle manufacturer and powder manufacturer alike.
I would hate to have to defend myself for publicly announcing that rifles are sound well into "prohibited" loads.
No I'm not suddenly "sucking-up" to Randy. But until/if he arrives here to defend himself -- Toby included, then I will defend the folks who are paid to make sure that safety/testing measures should not be confused with your range/hunting experiences.
Paid by who? Knight, White, NEF, T/C, Savage? Do you mean to tell me that these companies don't have in house professionals which do all of their testing under a laboratory setting? They have to ask Randy to put on full body protection and see how far their rifles can be pushed? I'm sorry, but I just think that is ludicrous. Maybe Randy takes it on himself to do this. But I have my doubts that the companies that "pay him", are actually paying him to be a test pilot. It seems much more plausible to me, that Randy is "paid" to promote the products and help with sales.
Happy Hunting, Phil
