I saw something in Rusty's cool diagraham above that I would like some clarification on.
In the middle at the top, it says

Aluminum Powder Tank
Full Service Charges
(3) 110 lb bags per tank
Up to 2 tanks may be
required (660 lbs)
for a full service shot

Was a full service shot 3 or 6 110 lb bags? What was the load using the reduced 55 lb bags. Why did you need reduced charge powder bags if you sould just cut back on the full charge bags? OR could you load various combinations of both bags to get different velocities?

Also, was the powder required for a full service shot the same for both shells? The AP is 800 lbs heavier - did it take more powder?
