[QUOTE="MallardAddict, post: 2487697, member: 3830"] Odd how that only applies to certain people or topics here. Only one side of this story is out yet the dog pile is in full force…… Safe to assume Proof has pressure testing software and very likely knows the pressures that some of the posted Shermans loads run and may have just opted not to get involved. I’ve had no less then 12 proof barreled rifles and currently have 5 and the only proofs that didn’t make normally posted speeds for me where 2 Shermans (6.5, .30SM) that were built by nationally known smiths. Also had a 7 SS on a steel barrel (Bartlein) and it too fell short of the velocities posted here by almost 200fps before pressuring up (pressure trace was used by second smith). Before anyone asks me to name the smith, I will only say it was built by a smith who posts here. I won’t name him as I don’t think his work was the issue. Only thing we know for sure is that Proof hasn’t commented here so it’s all guesses. [/QUOTE]
