Steel seemed to work for him. Things have come a long way since the Roster tests. The Americans are more successful with steel performance lately as they are achieving higher velocities from greater pressures - e.g 1500 fps. We are still restricted to lead type pressures and therefore lower velocities. There is talk of CIP regs changing to allow for similar in Britain and Europe. Maybe it will happen…?? Not sure I would want to use many 1500 fps cart’s however - through a fixed breach gun anyway. Gas operated (soft shooting) semis are quite the norm in America, so I’m sure that helps…?! P.S I know that some UK cartridge companies claim that sort of velocity for some lead cart’s - but in reality they are no where near.
