[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 569207, member: 25383"] there was also a project involving the 8" guns on a heavy cruiser that used a projo that was probably a third longer than a standard round (maybe longer), and a powder charge that looked like it was close to 50% larger. They claimed 35 miles with it! I do know that one of those cruisers parked itself right outside Hia Phong Harbor and shot the place to pieces. The shape of the projo was very much like a typical VLD of today, but the driving bands were made very differently if you look at the round very closely. There were two distinct driving bands that were not brass, and were actually part of the round itself. gary [/QUOTE]
