I know I've shot some heavy loads up to the max rated for the gun through mine, and if that qualifies me for the M club, so be it.

Thanks Bruce, I did indeed see that post the other day.
As you know I am a big fan of those beautiful old Damascus barrels.
Though I hate to see a blown-out barrel on any gun. I must admit I’m
thankful this was not pictures of a blown Damascus barrel.
No doubt, would have been fuel for the unwarranted fire.
