he fellas,
Iwas able to get a hold of a spring tester and now matter how hard you try to make a series formula work for springs
in parallel it just wont work,
so that was my problem the whole time,
my set up had a actual .45 main and a .545kg/mm shorty,
I started testing in mm increments and by...
hey guys thanks for the response's.
still not quite sure how to work the math,
every example I have found on net says
"as long as the spring rates are the same..."
Cowski
were you able to open pic?
the reason I ask is I totally get what your saying when spings are in series and one goes to...
HAHA!
Try that DF?
these new 24"touch screen asus....
Im still figuring them out,

Alright guys,
thanks' for your patients
I just signed up last nite and I did have a lot of pumpkin pie and whip cream,
try that DF,
I previewed it and clicked on it and it showed pic of springs in the "opposing series"...
I wanted to upload a pic, but ran into issues.
not quite a solid works drawing, but should get the job done.
what does the Desert Fox say? (ding ding ding gading a ding, sorry I couldn't resist)

I've got a 450mm long spring with a rate of .50kg/mm (call this one the main spring)
and I have a 70mm long spring with a rate of .60kg/mm (call this one shorty)
1)main spring has a 12mm rod that goes thru the center of spring,
2) at North and south end of rod are flat fixed plates for springs...
