How is performance effected when a shaped charge misses the scallop?
Our research suggests that charge performance is downgraded by 3-5% when a charge misses the scallop. For example: a deep penertrating charge shooting 25″ through the scallop will loose 0.75″ to 1.25″ of penetration with minimal change in entrance hole. Big hole charges exhibit exaggerated alteration under these conditions. Our testing of big hole charges shot in scalloped carriers versus non-scalloped carriers showed a penetration downgrade of upto 50% and dramatic decrease in entrance hole.
