Sherman Bell makes the disclaimer that the miserable failure of the Remington proof loads to do more than ruin the breech lockup and wood of some very decrepit damascus examples doesn't speak to the probability that we won't be able to blow one with our puny 7/8oz. loads at 5-6-7000psi. Sounds like something we'll all establish to our own satisfaction--or not. Some of us can't help being encouraged by statistically invalid experiments. Some of us still believe everything we read on an ancient shell box. I should know as I've belonged to both camps.
