What exactly is involved in "proofing"??? I've read of firing two shots with cartridges of increased amounts of powder; but does it just involve the barrel, held in a special firing fixture; or does it require the entire pistol held in a Ransom-Rest like device??? Does each & every barrel require "proofing", or just a representative sampling???
