I was thinking the same thing...his tests proved nothing.


There are so many variations in shotgun barrels, especially older ones I don't believe you could ever get enough similar to each other in construction and condition to have a Statisticly valid test - you probably could on later Barrels but that is not the area of interest.

Bell provided antecdotal evidence which is better than none, IMO.

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
