The one thing absolutely worthy of note here is that Thomas came to precisely the same conclusion as Burrard did. Thomas totally took what Burrard said out of context & applied it in a way not meant. Whether of maliciousness or ignorence I have no way of knowing. Burrard wrote of two different conditions, namely a "True 2 3/4 load" put up in a roll crimped 2 3/4" case & secondly a "True 2½" load" put up in a 2 3/4" fold crimp case. The first he de-nounced for use in a 2½" chambered gun, the 2nd he sanctioned. Thomas took his statements on the 1st & applied them to the 2nd & tried to make it appear he had Discovered some new facts which Burrard did not ubderstand.
After reading this plus his theory that a load using a faster powder would give you less "Felt" recoil because it hit you faster & you had not time to feel it, I mostly lost interest in GG (Garwood Garbage).
