[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1403527, member: 4191"] Don't ask why. I'll post a picture of Lake City case head later. Need less to say, it's pretty dramatic. Must be pushing 80,000 - 90,000 psi? I loaded the wrong powder in the wrong cartridge. I was intending to produce a reduced MV load using H4895 for fox pelt hunting. MV= 2,100fps was the goal. Instead, I charged the case with [I][B]20 grains Alliant 2400[/B][/I]. :eek: :mad: So much for the reduced load!!! Better MV than Hodgdon's SuperPerformance powder I'm certain... Do they make a MegaPerformance powder? Or "mother of all performance" powder??? Curious what Pressure I produced in my 16" AR15 barrel? And what Muzzle Velocity? My LabRadar wasn't able to record the velocity, so it might have exceeded it's upper limit ability. Like in the speed of light? I'm headed back out now, to see if the bullet reached the target at 125yds. [B]Live[/B] and [B]learn[/B]. Live being the more immediately important. But learn is a close second. [/QUOTE]
