Bolt thrust question #6664135 07/08/2012 12:03 PM
by JBLEDSOE
JBLEDSOE	. I keep hearing all these myths about bolt thrust on other forums until I am about to believe some of it. If chamber pressure is 60,000 PSI then that is 60K in all directions, so how can we increase/decrease the pressure on the bolt by changing the shape of the chamber? For example a straight walled case is said to apply less pressure to the bolt than a tapered wall case. Is there something here that I am missing? .

rcamuglia	Originally Posted by Mule Deer As 2525 pointed out to me earlier in this thread, engineer English doesn't always communicate exactly what the engineer is trying to say. I found some examples of that, and incorrectly assumed the sentences meant something other than Al intended to say. Once I looked at them that way, as an editor trying to turn technical writing in English (which I've done in the past), it was apparent the BS came from the writing, not Al's technical information. I appreciate that. I've always found his site informative and the technical information on it is so far over my head that it could actually BE BS and I wouldn't know better. I like the fact that he is a hunter/shooter with a vast engineering and technical background who ties them both together on his site. It's really a quite interesting site.
