hugh, thanks so much for your efforts...your review of proofing practices and your answers 1-6 are most helpful...
answers 3&4, suggests any gun in proof, with commercially available ammo, is never considered to be an antique, regardless of age?
and regarding Testing, it sounds like psi of test loads is a variable thing? what are psi ranges of test loads for various gauges?
concerned that english made guns, recently finding their way here, may not have barrel walls thick enough, to be safe for our higher pressure ammo...but then, i guess the same old, old ed 90-30 rule still applies?
but, certainly no high pressure loads in twist steel barreled guns...
