Been a little chatter on another forum about Knight BP's and it has sparked an interest...
The Power Stem... Has anyone shot this BP?
I am really wondering about 'blow-back'...
Here is what i might be talking about... One of the reasons that the new BP works so well in the Vision is that it has a 11/64ths flash channel a little bigger than the normal 1/8 or 8/64th. It appears that this larger and slighly longer flash channel swallows up the blow back more effectively than the small cavity - this extra bit gives the bullet a chance to get out of the barrel which then completely reduces blow back to zero.
Just a few minutes ago - I was looking for the correct bit size to ream the flash channel in a FPJ BP. I have a Power Stem BP laying here on the counter - when I dropped the bit in the flash channel it swallowed most of the length of the bit. It would make a lot bigger blowback chamber - so it might result in a lot less blowback...
I know the Power Stem works well with T7 even increases velocity significantly. I think Toby declared it a non-worker for BH, but it really has peaked my couriosity.
So again anybody with experiance outthere with the Power Stem?

If my memory is correct way back when it was first released Dave told me it was designed to get more velocity out of 777 and reduce certain types of fouling. I can see why with that long a flame channel it would not be expected to work well with BH. Lee
