# Batch 2017-batch-03 # 6 grains of 29mm using erythritol, intended to be a reloads for the longest GMA 29mm snap-ring case. Grain length 41mm with 1mm spacing per grain, so we'll make the casting tubes 42mm long. Delrin coring rods of 5/16" diameter. Formula for a batch size of 175g: * 65% KNO3, 113.75g, taken from the big bucket * 35% Erythritol, 61.25g The multi-cooker was preheated to about 250F with the lid on. Temp was increased during melting to 300F indicated. These grains were cast on 31 May 2017. Simulation says:
