All of us on this forum seek to be knowledgeable and safe with our Doubleguns we ask questions, we get barrel walls measured, we adhere to advice of what you that have the knowledge recommend. Thank you all for that. For every one of us that follows this advice there must be dozens who are in total ignorance of any guidelines for shooting safe loads in old guns.
I seldom see displays or testimonies of blown apart barrels excepting an occasional one with what appear to have had obstructions. Perhaps I have just missed them in my short time being involved with them. How many of you can testify to an occurance of blown up barrels? I am not attempting to downplay being safe. It took me a long time to be convinced it was OK to shoot Damascus (had them inspected and wall thickness measured)and I adhere to all advice given here.
But again what about the many that don't know any better.
Just curious Thank you.
