I stand corrected - thank you Edgar. I had a gut feeling you would come on and do that. So thank you for ‘simplifying’ it all for us.
Your background in metals production, forging, etc. and your training and experience in metalurgy qualifies you to do so... so again Thank You. I used the wrong term. You used the right term and backed it up with data.
I guess my response to Mr. Rivers was meant to direct him away from any assumptions he may have been making about 75,000 lbs having anything to do with reasonable (sane) loads we should be using in these old guns.
