I did say there was less total surface area deformed on large pellets as a simple consequence of size.

"Also, haven't you ever noticed that it takes more pounds pushing on the lesser square inches of a smaller bore to end up with the same velocity? "

A nothing less than astounding statement. Does the formula F=MxA ring a bell?

And a final note to all you squashy people, a hint: Newton's Third Law of Motion....

Me neither wonko, I can't believe it.

When did I ever write 'industry'. If you want, I can read it to you, I was hoping you might be able. I revisited it because you revisited it, nothing more stated or implied.

As to your f=ma. Again, you're off track. So what if you can recite a generic formula. How does it calculate deformation of the pellets? I'm with cpa, I encourage you to continue.
