Not quite... but if you are going with lower FW maximums then what I got with my kit then I can see whats happened. Let me explain. With a 5.5 ratio, 13 gram SW (# 10 curve for hammer 1) 42 gram BW and your standard 9 gram WBW you get an "acceptable FW" of 38.5 grams. The maximum FW's table I have gives a max of 41.3 for hammer number 1. Maybe whats changed is your view on how much FW should be acceptable as a maximum ?? > > DCS >
