    Nylon shock cord - breaking strength?

    Does anyone know or can refer me to the breaking strength of 1/8" and 3/32" nylon shock cord?

    A while back Oldgringo did some testing, he had some 1/8th I think...that he loaded with 50 pounds and the sheath braid broke, the core elastic strands were fine. If I remember what he told me correct.
