Notes: Free Recoil is mathematical equation calculated by using the rifle weight, bullet weight, muzzle velocity and charge weight.
When using volume to meter each charge, it is important to regularly check the charge weight on a scale throughout the process.
No substitutions are allowed in components, nor in charge weights of shot and powder.
Many .38 Special loads use the same powders, in similar charge weights, but because the case is so much larger, those charges only fill the case about half full.
The explosive charge weight is 55 grams and the total weight of the mine is 300 grams.
Slight variations in charge weight in the same case led to the mistaken belief these were different rounds, when in fact they were not.
Unlike later cartridges like the .44-40 Winchester and .45-70, where the first number indicated caliber and the second the charge weight, the .56-56 refers solely to the case.
Reference is made to the Sellier-Bellot scale that consists of a series of 10 detonators, from n. 1 to n. 10, each of which corresponds to an increasing charge weight.
From this he produced range tables for elevations up to 10 degrees for each type with a standard propelling charge weight.
This process isolates the desired protein based on its density, electric charge, molecular weight and chemical affinity.
