watch it there youngin, you're talking about barrels blowing up when you dont know any info on it, only what randy wakeman says. And noone, not even TC will tell you what they test their barrels at. BPI/cva have come a long way since those cva apollo's. I've shot a few hundred magnum loads out of my bpi and still doing it. i own 6 BPI products and one cva thats over 20 years old.
