You were discussing what ‘pattern testing’ consisted of…. if, as you claim, it does not include regulation it must be confined to pattern size and ‘pattern quality’ since there does not appear to be anything else to test when ‘pattern testing’.
My reference to Jones was to point out that the ‘pattern quality’ part of ‘pattern testing’ would now in light of modern analysis appear to be a waste of time.
I further indicated that any pattern sheet or plate shot during a factory test firing would show both pattern size and point of impact.
Thus, if they expend two shells on a completed or near completed gun ‘testing for pattern’ as the ad copy would suggest they do, they have the status of the regulation of that barrel set staring them in the face.
