PSI vs. FPS is more than a "clerical" error. PIS(S) and UPS would be clerical or typographical . It is a substantial error. There are numerous loads that bump up to SAAMI maximum pressures that fall below 1200 fps. As for chamber lengthening .25" over 2.5" can be enough to blow chambers in some guns shooting modern loads with pressures not consistent with the gun's mfg. For instance, some Fox guns, especially 16 ga. Lengthening a double's chambers by a reputable smith who is capable of measuring wall thickness is one thing, but not all smiths are created the same. But see Sherman Bell's study of shooting 2.75" ammo out of short chambers. Pressures didn't increase substantially, but more than likely they weren't maximum SAAMI. Gil

gls,what is the point of your continuing to drone on here about psi vs fps...

the practice of safely opening chambers is long established and needs no defense...

My purpose of "droning" on is to prevent someone from blinding themselves with a burst chamber after listening to your torching advice...

nonsense...

You asked, I answered. I said I disagreed with part of your advice and said why. You called my opinions and observations untrue. Hard to see how my opinions and observations are untrue. I mentioned the facts of your biases and past comments. You were left sputtering, deflecting and trying to exit with egg on your face.

Someone has been a dick here and it hasn't been me.

BTW, you've also been a dick to GLS in this thread when he rightly pointed out a mistake you made. You should have said "Thanks Gil for pointing out my obvious error".

i'd prefer we get back to helping provide worthwhile advice to the OP.


My apologies Doug for this senseless diversion.

agreed, senseless...
