Actually I fooled with ggdt using estimated mix pressures to get the velocity figures I had recorded (I had chronied when I took the video) and then used the muzzle energy figure given by ggdt. I've always had problems using with evbc for some reason.
Thanks for the comments though.

Alright entries are now closed. I'll try to send out PMs to people to help me narrow down the results tonight or tomorrow afternoon depending on how long my homework takes. Then there should be a poll setup early next week so members can vote. The poll will probably be open for a week from whenever it starts.

12 PMs have been sent to potential judges. Don't be offended if you weren't sent a PM, I didn't exactly spend a lot of time on the list, it was just people that came to mind.When enough ballots are in I will post a new thread for the poll.

What you're seeing should be a little strip of writing up the side saying "smiley central.com" that is for some reason a seperate image from the smiley itself.
