Dr. Drew:

Since I am a "hard science" guy as well, I'll have to completely agree with you. But... in this particular case, my goal wasn't to advance "the stage of science", it was to advance my level of comfort with using this gun. After all the "data interpretation" from that mess on the barrel flats, to measuring it for myself, and then to finally...shooting a few 1 1/8-ounce shells through it, I'll have satisfied that need.

In the world I've lived & worked in, that's called "due diligence".
