You want to have your average...
load be up around 57 ish if you can manage that and assuming that your your variability is kind of small in the 500 to 750 psi range of course we can't measure that you have to be able to measure velocity and hope hopefully they correlate and in most cartridge cases they do correlate pretty well
So different bullet weight and construction, copper jacket, lead cord versus monolithic copper bullets, that affects the peak pressure.
No surprise there.
And the other thing that you need to worry about is you'd really like to have the powder completely burned out while the bullet's in bore to extract maximum velocity out of that powder.
And powder burnout affects muzzle flat.
Burned out's good, not burned out.
Adds to the flash.
Okay.
So are there any questions here?
Okay.
We will move on.
What factors increase peak chamber pressure?
Okay.
Increased powder charge.
No surprise there.
Use of identical charge weight of powder within an increased relative quickness.
Again, no surprise.
Increased mass of the projectile.
Again, that bullet...
