Keep one thing in mind here. All proofing , in reality, is just a snapshot in time. It tells you that a set of barrels held up under a certain overload for ONE firing. It DOES NOT in anyway guarantee that these same barrels won't fail on the next shot or 100 shots or 1000 shots later. IMO; The secret to good sound barrels in skill in manufacture and good quality control. This applies whether these were forged by hand or made mechanically.
