Holy **** you guys get sidetracked in a hurry-
1) Testing procedure we've established so far (subject to additions):
101 round cycle test with the mags that are shipping with the gun.
-17 cycles of the 3 round mag, 10 of the 5 round.
10 round 100 yard accuracy test with details on the round used.
We use a Silver Mountain G3 system, and we save the strings with the rifle serial number/load
The pics I posted a while back were from the first test barreled action. I was actually at .9" until bonering the 9th round. Shot 10 landed back in the .9" group. That was a 108 yards, and our new shoot room will be 115 yards from the current target backstop.
We proof test all guns, measure cocking piece travel during safety engagement, firing pin protrusion, set/measure trigger weight, coating mil thickness measured... ect. The design has been tested to and exceeds SAAMI/ANSI Z299.5 Abusive Mishandling Standards. We've done test firing at sub zero temps, and one test rifle ate 5 boxes of proof rounds with no measurable distortion when I broke it down. I've done intentional case head blowouts to ensure the action handles gas properly and protects the shooter. Some day, in my free time, I'm going to intentionally squib a barrel and try to blow an action up while filming with our high speed camera. If it still doesn't blow, I'll load some some rounds up with flash powder and just detonate it.
2) I'll try come up with an abbreviated summary. It may take me a bit to skim it down.

p.s. Black, dark roast coffee for me.
Sorry to leave you hanging, and I'll ASSume I understand the questions.This is great news. Always nice to have new options, if done right
Instead of asking a ton of questions...
1) What's the test procedure involve?
2) Can someone provide a design summary on function, robustness, and safety?
