Sounds like you cooked the SSR. If it came on and was working for a while it is probably wired right. You just need to keep the SSR cooler

Everything else being roughly equal slicker is slower. The HBN and Molly guys have dealt with this for years. Modern powder needs pressure to make pressure and PC'ed boolits are just outrunning the...
