The trick when it comes to 516 gr 70 seems to be getting the most boyancy with the biggest sphere, while still hitting 1000m. I now know a 1.25" sphere at 60" will hit 1000m, however is essentually boyant without putting anything in it requireing quite a bit of foam. My next question is would a 72" sphere at 1.25" reach 1000m within ABS requirements? Acording to my math it should be close, but my math is really primitive. If not looks like 60" at 1.25" is what it will have to be. </div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Scott Waters</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:9px;color:#575757">Sent from my U.S. Cellular® Smartphone</div></div><div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: "Sean T.

These are the final values when the solver arrives at a<br>solution, differing only by the discrete nature of the iterative process<br>(adding either 0.0001 m of shell thickness or 0.1 m of working depth on<br>each iteration, depending on the selected mode).
