What is the 'most common' delay for 5" shells?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am about to experiment with some 5" shells, and I would like to know approximately what timing I should start with.

How long do you normally make the delay for shells that size?

 

Are there any tables on this subject?

I time them at 4 seconds, I don't think there is any real standard as it's really a matter of taste. 3.5-4.5 seconds is a good starting point.

To make it simpler, i have everything set for 4sec. up to 6". 5sec. on 6"

Shorten them up from what you think.. If it goes off a little quick it's still a nice shell. If it turns over they become droopy or way too high. If you are not breaking the crap out of them with booster they will look much nicer a little closer to you anyway.

 

Just my two cents.

 

I'd give them 3 or so secs.

Well you have got a + or - sec. at apex anyway.
