Nipple life test. First off, i have Platinum Lined Nipples for my SERIOUS Long Range Rigs. But i decided to do a Torture Test on these Treso/Ampco nipples that i have been using for several years, and Swear by.
What better test subject than this new .50 Cal, 1-24 Twist Rice Barrel, 610-615 Grain Bullets being pushed by 100 Grains of Swiss 2F Powder down 30-31“ inches of Bore
I have always said that these Treso/Ampco Nipples are the Best, most Durable i have ever used. I will be measuring with precision pin gauges after each Shooting session, I will update this thread With How many Shots, and Show Nipple flash Hole wear
At this point, This Nipple has 27 Shots through it Total. These Treso/Ampco Nipples start out with a Flash Hole size of .028, They are very small, Designed for Real Blackpowder. After my Shoot yesterday, I thoroughly Cleaned the Nipple with my Steam Cleaner and Measured Flash Hole Size, The .028 Pin Gauge just BARELY Fit through. In 27 Shots, This Nipple shows ZERO Wear
