<br>I can claim an enhanced performance of 25% more velocity with 25% less pressure. That's because of the "space age" breakthrough. It was inspired by watching the launching of space shots from Cape Kennedy ( formerly Canaveral ) *( And also because I don't publish data so no-one can dispute my claim )!

<br>The load is a special blend or troika, trident, triumvirate. It has a "kick start" element, or an acceleration element, a sustained burn ( solid propellant ) aspect and an "afterburner". The 3 powders are "layered" and a primer is placed 1/3 of the way down in the case. Sorry I can't be more specific but lets just say it's a takeoff from Colonel Saunders KFC: Only fresh ( never frozen ) cases and a special, secret blend of 13 herbs and spices that make it "Finger Lickin Good".

<br>Sorry to be so circumscript but we must maintain our proprietary secrets so we employ the "Mushroom" tactic: " Keep them in the dark and feed them horse manure".
