[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2756673, member: 26077"] Read P.O Ackleys books on developing the AI series of cartridges and load testing for them. The lack of pressure gear, he couldn't afford the copper crush technology that was the standard of his time, means they blew up a significant number of guns. AI gets higher velocity partly due to case design but mostly due to running higher pressures. The good old days weren't all that good unless you were big enough to afford to build test rail rifles with chambers drilled for pellets, and go through a crush unit for every shot fired. I have to say that I get tired of reading seat of your pants beats top notch testing. I built Wildcats 40 years ago by trial and error. If I had access to the tech we have today, it would have been a whole lot easier. I have no desire to go back to the days of pulling the trigger with a sting, just in case. [/QUOTE]
