Re: Not the best results help

I have measured the chamber length a 2.409 and the max COAL I was useing was 2.350 so with 0.059 distance from the lands I did not reduce the load yet. I would like to retest as it supports the volocity I would like to achive (4000 range) If this load does not prove acurate I will reduce.
