Reloading and Velocity
Here is one for all the reloaders here. A "gentleman" at my club last week told me that he read an article from and "expert" that stated that each time you reload a hull you lose 20% of the velocity of that load. So I then asked him, so if I load the same hull 5 times then when I pull the trigger then the gun doesn't go bang? He said it has nothing to do with the firing of the shell. So I asked now then when I fire this shell that I reloaded 5 times then the shot load just falls out the end of the barrel? He said no but it will probably only go about ten yards. I then said to him, well then it seems that the shells that I have been shooting today with you shouldn't have been broken any of the clays that I shot at and broke? Apparently he did not have an answer for that one.
