Huvius,

Sure the Chapuis uses modern steel. But those rifles are reported victims of OSR, modern steel notwithstanding.

If you are saying that successful undamaged completion of the "test" by the Chapuis would not dis-prove OSR, I agree. I just don't think there's much likelihood the Chapuis will survive undamaged. And if I am correct, Barnes will have a big crow pie to wolf down. Maybe that would prompt them to do proper R&D to avoid OSR from their product.

The test really wouldn't cost them much (in dollars). As confident as they seem to be, I would think they would jump to the occasion.
