I want to express my appreciation to the contributors to this thread. It has been very interesting and educational. It's kinda like sitting in on a R&D meeting.
Also in reference to creating hypervelocity projectiles, what speed do you consider hypervelocity? My understanding is that we are near the limits of velocities with modern smokeless propellents around 4000 fps for bullets due to the fact that they have a maximum expansion rate in the 5000 fps range.
