.45-60 Musing: Throat Length, Pressure Curves, and Powder Selection
Oh, and a bit of further reading for those who like complex math. Because it turns out that the Lagrange gradient assumptions are sometimes wrong!
This link is read first, then it leads to this link which in turn leads to lots of math. It’s what’s behind the Powley computer that Stranger suggested in last week’s post. And more! The ultimate bottom line remains the same though - get a strain gauge and test in the real world, because all the models come up a bit short.
One fish is like unto this many other fish, and that’s engraved in steel - here’s a bit on strain gauge math, poisson’s ratios, and that a gun is a semi-closed end vessel.

Ya know, About a hundred years ago a goofy lookin guy with electric lookin hair came up with a theory and in no time some other guys made a damn A bomb with his theory.I hope your theory just endangers maybe a few bears in the hood.
