This is an interesting cartridge. It would be great to see the stuff that Bill A. did. Do you know if any of it was published? He loved the 20 inch barrel.
Secondary peaks are detected by piezo, and current wisdom is that it's a late powder burn when the powder is too slow. I mentioned it as a variable, but it was just to make the complexity of port location look like climbing K2. I certainly agree that it's moot.
The muzzle energy is what's making me want to move the tube location. It would support a longer tube, and I don't think 2 inches is enough, though I'm sure it's safe. A tube that's too short is a waste of gas. I'd think the 260 and Creedmoor would move the action out of sheer terror.
Oh well, the Twins lost and the dog just farted. I'll restart the search tomorrow. Thanks for the info everyone.
