Boy, you are dead right on that, fiver. There is a video out there of a head on, 50% overlap hit between
a 59 Chevy and a 2009 Chevy, and you might think the "ole heavy iron, real steel" '59 would stand up, but the
reality is that it is deadly while you would walk away from the 2009.
Gotta think how that applies to bullets, maybe too hard is not good for forcing cone
impacts.
Not just peak pressure, but rate of rise, too. Unique will have the bullet moving
smartly by the time it hits the forcing cone. I wonder if the slower powders move
it against little resistance, then hit the forcing cone before pressure is really high enoug
to push it smoothly thru. Just a theory.
