What is the problem with compression formed hulls?
Thanks
Nothing, when used properly. I would rather reload them than most others. But, when you're trying to build a low pressure load it is just easier to begin with another type, like the ribbed hulls with a fiber base wad, or even paper hulls. Given all the same other components, a compression formed hull will almost always deliver higher pressures.
Knowing his penchant for them, I suggested otherwise but, alas and alack, he did not listen. He may have had a hot enough load to blow up the Boswell even if they had not been in AAs, we'll never know, but they certainly did not help the pressure situation any.
I'm NOT saying you can't build a great low pressure load with compression formed hulls. I sent some to Tom Armbrust this spring loaded in Gold STSs that went 1180 fps at 5100 psi.
