Re: My Holland .500/.465 blew a barrel

Armbar:
"Struck-off" means drawfiling the barrels to remove surface imperfections and old finish.
Alan:
I THINK I see your point, but I'm not sure. No, to my knowledge, the ribs have never been removed from those barrels.
In reply to:
"Too many eggs going into one basket there for my liking.
When a barrel bursts, it does so because the pressure exceeds what the barrel steel can contain.
The question is, was the steel too weak and the pressure ok, or was the steel ok and the pressure excessive."
I believe I answered that in the last paragraph of my previous post.
