ya know the guys who claimed to invent cold fusion looked for a while like they had made the find of the century. Trouble is, no one could really duplicate those experiments.
I remember Clark posting about his overloads a few years ago on places like the High Road (or perhaps the Firing Line). If you could really get away with double loads in a .40 S&W, it seems like somebody would jump on the weapon & ammo system, for commercial gain.
If there is anyone who has tried to duplicate my experiments and got different results, I would like to hear about it.
It seems like I have spent much of my adult life designing products and the designing tests for them in a way that would be reproducible.
I have put a lot of effort into not having any out of control variables in the aging tests of capacitors, jet engine starters, and air craft batteries. I am an out of control variable NAZI. I really want reproducible tests. I can sit around in a lab making jokes and watching others work, but I am really making sure that no out of control variables creep into my tests.
I have got designs qualified and mass produced in fighter jets, commercial jets, private jets, hospitals, cell towers, helicopters, etc.
I have overloaded and recorded the data in; 19 Badger, .223, .243, 25acp, 25/35, 257 Roberts AI, 260 Rem, 7mmRemMag, 32acp, 32sw, 32S&WLong, 32-20, 7.62x25mm, 30-30, 7.62x39mm 7.62x54R, 8x57mm, .380, 9x19mm, 9x23mm, 357 Sig, 38 sp, 357 mag, 38sw, 40sw, 10mm, 10.4mm, 45acp, 45Colt, .410, and 45/70.
I can't think of anyone who has repeated any of my tests and got back to me, replicating my data or not.
I have written a lot of acceptance tests for products I have designed. Those tests were repeated many times by technicians and auto tests.
My wife was up until midnight last night writing software to try to calibrate out a half micro Volt error. This is nerd headquarters for fussing over details.
