[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1628098, member: 105322"] Seems to me that the best way to test one against the other, (in a way meaningful to actual use) would be to do side by side charge weight progression in small 0.2 or 0.1 grain increments (OCW style,but without the other implications being measured). Every barrel I've ever tested showed a definite sine wave pattern that could vary dramatically in it's vertical and lateral movement depending on barrel profile. I just looked at a couple of OCW tests on another site where the Proof barrel was used. Neither moved around nearly as much as a steel barrel of the same weight. Maybe even less than one of the same profile. [/QUOTE]
