out of proof means that the barrel dimensions have been altered,
in many if not most cases - honing to bore to clean it up, altering chambers or forcing cones I think would also count. also, but more rarely, by restriking.
if metal has been removed to any significant amount, the tubes would be out of proof
and in countries with proof houses - by law must be retested.
