[QUOTE="Clark, post: 953991, member: 6600"] I have been designing things my whole life, but only charged the big bucks for over stressing my designs in missiles, cell phone towers, jet fighters, attack helicopters, and defibrillators. Go carts, mini bikes, and guns are on my own nickel. The handgun cartridges I have overloaded in work ups just to see what happens: 25acp 32acp 32 S&W 32 S&W Long 32-20 7.62x25mm 30 Mauser 380 [9x17] 9mm [9x19] 9x23mm 257 Sig 38 S&W 38 Special 357 mag 40 S&W 10mm 10.4mm 18) 45acp The rifle cartridges I have overloaded to see what happens: 19 Badger 223 243 6mmBR 25-20 25-35 257RAI 257RAIR 260 270 7mmRM 30-30 308 30-06 7.62x39 7.62x54R 8v57 45 Colt 45acp 20) 410 Some things I have have noticed about trying to blow up guns: Assume all information in a load book is wrong. Ackley and De Haas knew what they were talking about. Nothing blows up as calculated, because of the difference between static and dynamic loads. That is if I calculated a muzzle must be .006" thick for 20kpsi, you will never get it to blow up with a 20kpsi gunshot. It happens too fast. Things need more time to break at the predicted threshold of yield. [/QUOTE]
