NukemJim, don't know how the powder is made. I do know that nitrocellulose or gun cotton, is simply nitric acid allowed to react with cotton, nitrating it. Nitrocellulose is a component in Hercules Bullseye pistol powder. That is not a liquid propellent though.
RBCD nor I, owe you nothing regarding "extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence". You want evidence? Contact the company and enter into a contactual agreement to develop a load for you. You want access to paperwork? Pay for it. You believe what you want, but the ammo is not available to the public and I guess that I should just reserve my comments to the ammo that is widely available from now on rather than try to let you guys in on some of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. I try to do that with www.shotshowreports.com as well, all I report is what I am told.
As far as velocity goes there is a Meteor .50 BMG at 9600 fps, the stuff they sell to the public is 6000 fps. That is on the site:

Meteor rifle and handgun ammo is not available to the public. What is so hard to believe about 400 extra fps over the Meteor? We have a gun here in Austin that they were getting over 14000 fps 5 years ago. It is a light gas accelerator. Go head and call BS on that too, I am sure with your degree in mechanical engineering you could get a job with them and you could show them what they are doing wrong. Just one question. How do you suppose someone will come up with a way to make a projectile for a rail gun and not have it fall apart when it is fired? It take development.
griz, no I am not sure. That is why I said, 'The case will hold something like 3.5 oz of the liquid'. I was not there and the guy that told me was not sure. I don't even know if he was talking fluid or weight when he was referring to ounces. Again, I only report what I hear.
