    Was there any pressure signs at 26.4grns?

    Is their any case capacity remaining?

    Another 0.2grns might make a slight difference.

    Also the figures quoted by Belmont are book maximum ..... Not real world maximum.

    The only alternative is to try different powders ..... W748 or H322 or H335 For instance.

    Cheers

    Arguing with an Engineer is like Wrestling a Pig in Mud.

    After awhile you realise the Pig loves it.
