Hi all, here's the article I spoke of in a previous thread. My son helped me get this uploaded ...thanks Jim! Anyway, very informative and breaks a lot of misconceptions on this subject. Sorry for the small print, hope you either can enlarge it or get a magnifying glass!
Best,
Greg

one of the guys at my 1st GC , had done some writing and investigative work for DGJ and with Mr Bell . He has always stated what this article confirms and we've (from the GC) always believed this to be true . no worries at lighter loads , and I've always kidded him about bringing his fave 20K double to the club and shooting some 3'' thru it . His reply was always "no worries !!) |

Well, there you have it. Quantitative results. I like what he says at the end about souped up ballistics. |

I sure appreciate the work Sherman Bell did on shotgun loads! In particular, things researched like the short chamber issue and also shooting damascus guns and loads for damascus! I believe he wrote thirteen articles for Double Gun Journal beginning about 1999 or 2000. Should be required reading for vintage gun owners and shooters. Thank you Sherman! |

Great article but I have to wonder that since it was all done about 12ga, would the results have been different/amplified as you go down in gauge size? |

I've posed that question on forums in the past. There's really no consensus on the answer but I've seen the 500psi increase thrown about enough to come to the conclusion that a lot of folks accept it as gospel for all gauges. Aside from a few low psi 12ga loads, I shoot ammo appropriate to the chamber of the gun in hand.
As well, I wonder about the legality of posting a scanned copy of the article in it's entirety on an open forum. It would be a shame for the OP or this site to run in to copyright issues. |
