Almost any barrel could be stressed past its limit , I don't think any smith in the business could say or would say it's completely safe unless they did the work , even then clients make mistakes loading , leaving patches in barrel , bore laser , etc . Only you can determine if it's safe , work up loads , check pressures using proven data and continue to max safe pressures .
Gun ballet , barrel manuf specify the amounts of individual elements , shilens 416 MAY NOT be the same composition as ER SHAWS or anyone else's .
If you don't feel comfortable start over , it's a small price for piece of mind . I use 41v50 cm vanadium on large cases .
