Reloading - propellant TEMPERATURE...

Post by AJMD429 »

Interesting on the M777 Howitzer - they have to adjust aim based on the temperature of the propellant - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQXVhUObsIw.

Essentially they are reloading on-site kind of like the guys using paper-wrapped black powder charges for breech-loaders. They even clean the bore after each shot.

I'd be real nervous setting the timer on those timer-fuse rounds though...!
