Drew,

I am certainly no expert on British Proof Law but...

Perhaps a pitted barrel must be reamed to remove all pitting so that a visual inspection may ensure that all pitting is removed, i.e. no never-ending pits that some worry about.

With the Grand Canyon of pitting removed if the barrels withstand the proof loads then it should be safe to shoot with the loads it was made to shoot (as indicated on the watertable).

Just my logic,
Mark
