Thread: Relationship Between Case Capacity and Muzzle Velocity

i remember a kiwi rifle builder was running a very short barrelled ( not exactly sure on length but less than 12 inches ) .308 with 125grn. bullets at what i thought BS velocity . . sorry about the vague memory but it was a long time ago.
Anyhoo, i dropped him a line asking how he was getting these fantastic speeds . . he wouldnt tell me the powder or any other details except it totally destroying the case in 1 firing, the pressure must have been massive. Which just goes to show that some people will run on the dangerious side of insanity trying to get higher than normal perfomance.
