BTW, Charlie Sisk knows more than he lets on. So I've been told.
I dont know who told you that, but I wouldn’t put much stock in it. I have been looking at him in the mirror for a long time now, and he aint that smart.  But I have learned not to tell everything I know....several things I have tested, the results dont go with mainstream thinking, so its best legally, financially, and mentally to keep my mouth shut. I hope you decide at some point to spill the beans, Charlie! Something I've been saying for a while: there is a small body of stuff I KNOW and a huge body of stuff I believe, and a vast gulf between the two. When someone presents observations and conclusions, it can be tricky to evaluate the statement. I won't argue with objective observations, but conclusions are often suspect. Evidence is not always proof and human beings are funny critters.

Great thread...my little contribution-
I once mistakenly used pistol primers for handloads, When I discovered this anomaly prior to shooting, I went forward anyways...I just geared up and tried it.
I found about 30% just misfired, and the balance pierced the primer- but discharged
These were fairly stout .270 wcf loads.
I purchased a shrink wrapped package of CCI large rifle primers , it had a pistol primers within it
Oops, but oh well ...and now I can pass this info along.
Don't bother to try this yourself.
Happy New Year , folks

I dug into the primer thing a while back and found some threads (I think over on bench rest central where several guys had cut and measured cups.
One thing that I have wondered since is:
Is there a difference between brass cups and silver cups (are they nickel brass?)

The "silver cups" are nickel-plated.

Angus You maybe right. About a year ago I started making rhubarb wine. Seems every batch turns out different, even when I do the exact same things. BUT IT ALWAYS TASTES GOOD ! Mr. Sisk, A Happy New Year to you sir. I just wanted to let you know that my grandfather also made rhubarb wine. And pear wine, and strawberry wine, and dandelion wine. Your mention of rhubarb wine brought back great memories of my time with him and put a smile on my face. I thank you for that! Best wishes, Marty

The "silver cups" are nickel-plated. Thanks John. So no discernable difference in strength, malleability, plasticity, etc as there would be if it was an Ni-alloy.

Angus
I hadn’t given that formula any thought so I cant say. But after doing a lot of testing, to me, foot pounds of energy from a bullet is a might near useless number.......aaaahhhhhh....that statement will rub some hair the wrong way, but thats what my testing has shown. Your mileage may vary.
Charlie FPE is a useless number IMHO But are the numbers that go into calculating FPE useless?
