AmarilloMike,
Valid point. Would you argue minimum wall thickness after the first say 20" of barrel is almost irrelevant? Wouldn't the actual wall at 8" from breech being greater than say .040" be far more important?
Has anyone gone through the effort to figure out safe minimums at each point from the breech so that there is something more reliable than an overall minimum thickness number?
I beleive the .020" minimum wall thickness in the last 1/3rd of the barrel is about repair of dents. Maybe Joe Wood will pipe in here about Greener taking out his pocket knife and slitting the last half of barrel after shooting several loads thought it.
Best,
Mike
