Re: New post

Dano,

I love your scientific methods. Depending on the size of the "beater"
and your biceps, you can closely approximate the amount of force
applied by a "presser". That amount of force being such that would
cause case failure. Or if a case buster preventer was being used,
that force would be sufficient to consolidate said composition greater
than 1.5 g/cc.

Density affects the burn rate of black powder. The higher the density
the lower the burn rate....

burn rate as measured in inches per second, or mass per second?

If it decreased the linear burn rate, but maintained higher mass burn
rate (which is possible since the density is greater), then the casing
pressure and thrust go up, as density goes up. If it decreased the
linear burn rate AND the mass burn rate, then these go down...

Do you know which it is?

In my detailed studies of the archaic ramming with a 4# beater on a
concrete floor, to the advent of the industrial revolutions pressing
with a bench vise and cheater bar.
There was a good leap in getting the "snort" in a rocket case.
So without using a lifeline I'm going with: B, mass per sec.= raw
power.
Or, if by putting in more it burns longer then: A, longer burn= less
chance of CATO.
All tests were done with non-sparking tooling and a case sleeve.
My brother gave me a 2 ton hydro jack and when I get the stand built
the tests will become ubiquitous.
I've shot 1# rammed, and semi pressed stingers, the "pressed" came off
the peg like a kick in the pants with a twerping snort.
