All joking aside, I will confess that I did use the tire test on one of my Remingtons but I measured the barrels with a micrometer at intervals before and after the tire proof test. She proofed OK. I hope that makes me at least a "scientific" redneck Yank to you Brits. grin I still shoot it, only with way lower pressure loads than I used with the tire proof. By the way, what do you Brits use in your proof houses to hold the gun instead of a tire?
