Butch, I hope you are not feeling like I've derailed your thread. I kinda suspect you were thinking more along the lines of chambering reamers when you posted your question, but once the pressure aspect was brought into play I just had to ask my own question. Maybe it should have its own thread, but to be honest I hate to think of how many pissing contests will start if I do post a new thread. We're kinda flying under the radar here, I think.
cool


Although I provide a link to the 1994 version of the TM, the data sheet's the same in the 1967 version. Knowing how much we've learned since 1967, and having loaded it with actual Mil surplus powder (not the commercial equivalent), and comparing it with commercial load data, I'm pretty skeptical of the 52k PSI number.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
