New Cartridge Developments and Implications for Dismounted Infantry Soldiers
bwaites Wrote:Generally, when 3 witnesses, particularly 3 unrelated witnesses, give similar testimony, the court will rule in their favor. So far as I know, Dr. Roberts, Johan Loubser, and Mr. Silver from Remington have no contractual or other connections. When they say there is no significant difference in pressures between the two chambers, I would tend to believe them.
I accept what they said as being true, insofar as it went. I don't feel like going back and rereading the two or three threads on the subject so as to link to verifying posts, but here is what I recall:
  • Silvers said that to his knowledge, SPCII ammo had not been tested in the manner he described Loubser doing. That is, firing in a SAAMI chamber, then reaming the chamber to SPCII and firing again. Silvers agreed that testing SPCII ammo in this manner is something that really should be done in order to establish what differences there are in velocity and pressure.


  • Roberts carefully avoided saying anything about what type of load(s) had been used in the pressure tests to which he alluded.

Indeed.
