My my You boys are mustard you need to try and ketchup.

Have noticed that you've changed this post considerably. I wasn't being a tad glib. Out of interest I ran the programme against both the UK Ballistic Research Laboratory measured and calculated figures and also the Sierra Infinity Suite for lead No 6 and it didn't match up. I don't mean spot on, but with just a reasonable discrepency. I then noticed that the No 6 on this programme was in fact No 5 so did it again to no avail.

I changed it From this which i felt was straying too far away from your trend to food accompaniments My thought were if i added MUSTARD it might help!  ... You two boys are not fooling me you throw ketchup on everything...

So now the Link i saw it i opened it and changed nothing on the opening data, then pull which threw up some numbers .

 And that is all i did i thought some might benefit from it so i posted the link in here.

 I have no intentions  of doing anymore with it . But as i only use the  KPY program so  i dont need it anyway , I am sorry i made a mistake i thought some might find it of use and did not realize it was so misleading. so i have promptly deleted the link in my original thread starter post.

So lets get back to condiments Soy Sauce Anyone! . .

Well I did not get to look at program before link was removed. Sad that a few folk put up negative comments with no proof/justification/test results of their own to back them up. One person did a comparison with a Lab result but gave no indication it was a like for like test or the variation between results other that to suggest it was large. A lot of key board experts, pity it could have been interesting topic.

Although I might be wrong, I get the impression that someone is not quite sure what the UK BRL was. It's obvious to me that if one is going to do some comparison checks and go to the trouble to make sure these are on a like for like basis, then it pays to make a note of the results. If, then, someone wanted further information other than a quick note that something may well be amiss, then all they would have had to do is politely ask. As this appears to be lacking then all the indications are that never mind interesting, the topic already bears all the indications that it would have been nothing else than a good old fashiobned PW slanging match.

My thoughts exactly and precisely why i posted a link to the calculator with  a brief note on using it but the notes are on the web page anyway. 

left it there,!  for people to use or not use as the case may be, my thoughts being that not all want or would consider buying KPY or other such programs , but this was there Free and with a full explanation and background to the program for all to see on the web page.

What we need here is a Apple sauce thread  to liven things up.

Irrespective of its accuracy or otherwise. Having a copy of KPY, then a quick check of its accuracy prior to posting would, as it happens, have saved any users over estimating their cartridge/shot size capability. However, having said that I know not what KPY would have said and am basing my results on the BRL and Sierra Infinity Suite.

KPY always sounds like some form of prophylactic jelly.
