That was a good one! I kept waiting for them to explain how that process would’nt effect burn rate! And then when I read about the groups (and teh “flyer” I thought Man what a Joke—I was right!

10 stories that could be April Fools pranks but aren’t (
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17580629)

I would have put this with the Zombies one, as one of the true stories listed was:
“Russian leader Vladimir Putin has given the go-ahead for guns that turn victims into “zombies” by targeting their central nervous system.

I have actually obtained better results using laser interferometry. I have a narrow pulse laser that emits in the green portion of the visible spectrum. I focus this through the central pore of each kernel. Based upon the number of concentric rings emitted from the opposite end, I can group the kernels accordingly.

Hummm, an April fools joke….I should have known, because nobody mentioned the doubling of the burning rate or reducing the load. I didn’t mind the bolt passing through my cheek bone, but getting a bill for two cows and a John Deere didn’t make me happy….not to mention my barrel that passed through the chrono at 5620 fps.

Took a minute. Then I checked the date of the post. I love this every year. Keep it up guys! Now I just need to find a micro drill and more time than brains.

7000 grains to a pound, .025 to .035 averaged = .030. .030 x 33.3 rounded =1.
233,100.00 Kernals t the pound. If 44.2 grains is what your are loading, that would equal 1,471.86 kernals per load. Also suming you uniformed a kernal every 10 seconds. It would take you 245.31 minutes to uniform the powder for one shot. 4 plus hours per cartridge. Sounds like the cost of shooting will go up exponentially.
Great April fools gag Paul and others.
p.s. My varget doesent look like your processed grains even under 40 power magnification.

Hey….somebody highjacked my idea. I started this ten years ago, and just finished drilling enough for a ten shot group. Guess what?…now 44.7 of 4350 is enough to fill up two cases…”scratches head”.
