I get the feeling in some of the posts now there is a bizzare level of increasing stress?
Yeah! Even more so in some of the other forums.
Glad you guys shook hands.
Back to something someone said earlier in this thread about the shape of the .375 H&H case and length of cordite strands....
I don't load with Cordite, obviously, but I Googled it earlier today, and it seems to me the idea isn't without merit.
Cordite was extruded, and so it could be cut to any length. But in order to get enough into the case to get the velocity they wanted, they could either go with a long, skinny case - with long strands - or a short, fat one, with a greater number of shorter strands.
But I don't know what the thinking was at the time about the burn rate and pressures of fewer long strands, versus more, but shorter strands.
Getting a headache, now. I think we need a chemist.
