ok i can understand that, it makes sense. i guess i should have been thinking in that direction of gas cutting, hence the need for gas checks.
i didnt really want or need to push the 240's to 2000fps, i just wanted to know if they would lead at what speed and if that was related to thier hardness measure. the powder im using for this work up is HP-38. #17 on the burn rate chart ( if that matters any more the general revelancy )
but i think i got enough of this under my belt to work up these cast bullets, anyhow.
thanks, im sure i'll have more questions later.
