2A1 Ishapore terrible accuracy + other problems

[Roger Payne]

Yes, I figured they would have been either in the possession of Warminster or Shrivenham, & that Peter would never in a million years have bought them himself. He wouldn't have been bothered enough to know the answer that badly!

Brian. Yes, I am not surprised re the failure with the heavy bullets. There was a decent safety margin built into these old girls for the ammunition they were intended to fire. The margin is lessened when using higher pressure ammunition, & more so when using it in bodies of an earlier & lighter design. Then add in the variables such as someone shooting hot reloads, shooting heavy projectiles, shooting in the rain, or getting an oily round in the chamber, & you're skating on thin ice.
