I used that in a standard BT-70 instead of BT-70H, needed just a little hand sanding for the shoulder.

Then, when you're ready for 2.6", Sandman makes a perfect secant-ogive in basswood. I haven't yet asked him for a 4".

eRockets now has a BT-4 scale cone too! <Edit> I see BarGeezer has posted the MX version - take out the MMT, and makes a nice minimum diameter for Apogee 10mm motors.

That's pretty funny. I just found a bunch of old 10mm tubes, cones and tail cones yesterday. I remember buying them, then Apogee announcing that they were discontinuing the motors.
