[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2487793, member: 1951"] This post says a lot with a little. Basically, you can chamber a crap barrel and sometimes it will shoot, sometimes it will crap out at low charge weights. Trouble is, even if they replace the barrel, what about time chambering, time figuring it out, customer frustration, customer losing confidence in gunsmith….Is Proof paying for that? They are cut rifled barrels, from premium blanks, they control the heat treat and they have opportunity to measure each one. Really, they have no excuse. …dang, not even a Sherman…. I struggle with this statement a lot. I want velocity, but mostly I want velocity margin. I want my velocity target to be hit with even lower range loads. For example, I had Berger 180 eh’s going 3050fps in 300 Sherman. I didn’t like the performance on game or target. Switched to 178 ELD-X’s. Bullet shape is limiting me to 2950fps. 3000fps is the goal, but the Hornady bullets pressure up quick. If I were running ol’ iron sides, the 30-06, what would I see…2650fps. I can be happy at 2950, even if not a record! Honestly, that says it all. Is that really blame the buyer without evidence or experience? Just asking. I own 2 Shermans. I’m sure I don’t hit some peoples‘ velocity claims, but I get solid performance from good loads made through standardized loading technique that can be used with or without a manual. Quickload helps. Thanks. I vote with my $$. So far, I own 2 Shermans and 0 Proofs. [/QUOTE]
