Thread: Pressure / barrel speeds?

Remember it's winter and pressures can rise as the weather gets warmer. This will vary depending on the powder.
I would stay away from any signs of maximum pressure at the moment. Maybe back off a full grain instead of half.

Hey Gibo,

Did you change any batches of the components or the brands themselves?
Remember the difference between hot air and cold air? Hot air is less dense so it should be faster.
