found this vid on timed reports, timed report casings and the casings prepared with primed chinese time fuse ready to go

Far nicer to use paper tubes than plastic, admittedly they take up less space though.

Out of respect I won't say his name, but surprisingly, a page in the depths of this forum is the only place where I've seen his name published.

At least, I'm pretty sure it's his name!

On passfire they call him 'TR'.

I have recently treated my self to a press,so i will shortly be ready to press some 1lb rockets and i thought i would clarify the correct pressure to press them at.

The literature with my tooling (walter)says to press at 2866lbs,so am i right in thinking thats this is about 1.5 tons on the gauge?

1.3 metric tons. One lb is .454 kilos. ;)

Force per unit area - is the 2866 pounds the ram force, or the required pressure on the comp? For a 3/4 inch ram, you would be looking at a ram force of about 2866*0.44 or about 1266 pounds to get 2866 psi on the comp. If you give it a ram force of 2866 pounds you'll get 6500 psi on the comp.

That is exactly the quoted figures,6500psi or 2866 pounds.
