When you do "Try this at home"

[Bill Murphy]

The proof test on any new to me Damascus gun is the fact that it has probably been fired hundreds of times with Super-X loads over the years. My Manson wall thickness gauge is test #2. I would like wall thickness in the mid thirties in the thinnest parts. Usually, the actual thickness is more than that.

Bill,
I certainly do agree with you on the 'Super-X' theory! It would be interesting to know how many 'Super-X', or equivilent, loads have been run through my composite barreled 10s.
