load

A structural load or structural action is a force, deformation, or acceleration applied to structural elements. A load causes stress, deformation, and displacement in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements. Excess load may cause structural failure, so this should be considered and controlled during the design of a structure. Particular mechanical structures—such as aircraft, satellites, rockets, space stations, ships, and submarines—are subject to their own particular structural loads and actions. Engineers often evaluate structural loads based upon published regulations, contracts, or specifications. Accepted technical standards are used for acceptance testing and inspection.

    Reducing .45 Colt load

    The reloading manual I'm using shows 8.0 gr. of Unique as a starting point for .45 Colt, 200 gr. bullets. This seems a bit "snappy" to me so I've reduced the load to 7.6 gr. of said powder. Shoots well and no pressure problems. Pretty accurate out of two SAA Colt knock offs. Can you guys see...

    Non reloading shortcut to precision, tune any load by seating depth

    ...well kinda.... If your not a reloader, the caveat to this is you have to buy a press and a seating die but don't worry your still not reloading anything.... continue. So anyways I was watching another Eric Cortina video taking notes when he discussed a side topic about factory ammo...

    Reloaders: Do you load only in even batches? Or...

    The question is, do you load only in even lot batches? Or are you okay with odd lots? It's easy enough to wind up with mismatched amounts of cartridge brass, bullets, primers or powder. I like to stack mine away in boxes of 50. But I don't like to keep partial boxes of bullets that only...

    Percentage of charge weight to fireform AI brass?

    I realize this is a "longshot" question but... Lets say you run a pressure ladder test with new brass to fireform it and find pressure at 60grains of charge weight. Then you take that fireformed brass and do another pressure ladder would it pressure out the same? or would you maybe get...

    30-06 Heavy (200gr to 225gr) long range load dev.

    Good evening! I am just wondering if anyone has done any load development with the 30-06 using something like the 212gr ELD-X or a 225gr ELD-match? I found that my rifle will shoot those two particular bullets pretty well and I can get around 2600fps to 2650fps out of the 212gr. using staball...

    What Is Your Process For Finding The Most Accurate Target Load In A New To You Bolt Rifle?

    Question in title. Single feeding is fine if that leads to greatest accuracy. Please share equipment type if that makes a difference in accuracy development.

    I pretty much confirmed a solid load for The Swede today.....

    I'd loaded up three different powder rates between 41.5 and 44.5 of Win Sta-Ball 6.5. I'm using Hornady 129 Gr flat Base soft points. That was about month ago, and I wasn't' sure if it was actually a good load, or I just got lucky. The 44.5 got a couple pretty good groups. I loaded up a...
