Bill, we have already agreed that this culture of law-suites in which we live is fair reason not to pursure proofing personally; but you keep side-stepping the question. My question/s involved determining the technological advantages offered by their state operated proof-house as opposed to what a knowledgeable individual with the right micrometers and legitimate proof loads can do in his back yard. My gosh, the last thing I wish to see is Dr. Bill being sued over a proofing issue; but you can rest assured I stand by my previous statement that I presently have as much faith in your ability to proof a set of barrels as I do the Brits.
