OUCH!

Russian reloading manual:
"Start from the data printed on the powder can and then increase and decrease the powder and shot charges until you arrive at the desired pattern and velocity".
I'm not kidding. It's a quote.

Now I am sure Wonko was kissed by a beautiful woman because I met her. She was a redhead too.

First indictions of excessive pressure are swollen knuckles, bleeding from the eyes and ears and total loss of hearing. These are often accompanied by the sound of people fleeing from the shrapnel. STAY WITH THE RECIPES...I found out the hard way, blowing up a beautiful Colt shooting master by mixing 2 kinds of powder..Bullseye and sumpin else..

Man....I sure wouldn't ever switch either Primers nor Hulls or even wads..they can shake things up too... from a powder makers recipe...especially not both in the same load...& even more especially if I was stuffing in an extra 3 grains over the maximum published load!!!
Messing with this shit is dangerous!!!
Did you mess with your rifle loads too?
I am just trying to say be careful Gene..

I don't think hard recoil has anything to do with pressure in the barrel, that is a matter of velocity/shot weight
Some recipes give alot lower psi for the same fps/pellet weight, assuming ALL components are the ones listed

Carrot Top in drag.

And now you have revealed yourself to be not only a moron but an azzhole devoid of the most rudimentary socialization
