Excel file sent, don't have it saved as pdf file.
Will it work on an older 34 bit machine (Windows XP).That is what runs my EXCEL.

The files were originated in XP w/ office 2010 IIRC if that helps to answer your question.
I stopped chasing technology in the early 2000's and now depend on my son to figure it out.
I have become my father :lol:

Checked the file and it says "excel 97-2003" in the properties tab

This is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.

A couple quick questions:
1.) Would you be willing to send me a copy of the excel file?
2.) Would you like me to convert the file to .pdf and return it to you? I would be happy to do that.
If you are willing, my email address is"scuba diver dad at g mail dot com" (remove all spaces and change as would be normal for an email address)

Thanks for all the work putting this together! Just built an 8.5" Pistol AR and am researching where to begin with subs. Sent you a PM.

This looks like the info that I need for a 9" gas gun. I am a nubee at AR and 300 Blk. Can anyone tell me what FTF and BHO mean in certifiable's notes in his tests? Thanks.

FTF can be confusing, but context generally sorts it out. Failure to Feed, or Fire. So in this case it would be feed. Load was too light to cycle the action.

BHO is Bolt Hold Open. Load had full function. It possible that a load will cycle but not lock the bolt open on an empty magazine. Generally you can make small adjustments to get it to work.

Cert’s data is a wonderful gift to the community.
300 Blackout, not just for sub-sonics.

Thank you Swissy for sending me a butt load of these troublesome projectiles. After expending several hundred during testing I have settled on 11.1gr Accuarate LT-30 as the best all around performing :roll: load. Now to dust off the 16" carbine gassed gun and see what happens.

Thanks for posting this data. I'm just starting to work with coated lead and this helps. I have some N110 and N120 I'm going to try. Thanks again!
