To state it again, if you are going faster than the books say you can, you have excess pressure. I realize the books say 3k is there... with a 24" barrel... running up against the edge constantly with no available pressure signs or verifiers is not a good plan.
My father always ran stuff as hot as he could, believing in seeing "the signs" as good enough. Sticky bolts and cracked lugs were not uncommon... and for absolutely no gain.
I disagree, having had pressure tests run on some of my loads There are lots of variables out there.
I"ll just leave it at that.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
