Volume 10 Issue 4 Finding Out for Myself. part 2 page 21. Incredible reading, insane testing before she blew. Sherman recommends reading part 1 in Volume 10 issue 2 before reading part 2 page 9.

I believe retired now, but he used to do ballistic testing. I sent him a bunch of loads a few years back for pressure testing in an effort to find a bargain alternative to RST and the like. It was eye-openning to see the variance within loads in the SAME BOX by some manufacturers. NDG
