On H or I reloads, there is some differences in the nozzles.
H268 has a larger hole dia. than a H210.
Any thing bad going to happen If the H268 nozzle is used in
a H210?

Boy, I would *not* risk it. So you know, the H268 has a different, special aft closure — the H268 nozzle won’t physically fit in a regular 29mm closure.
That said, you could (theoretically) use the H268 closure and nozzle underneath an H210 — but there is no way I’d do it. There may also be different fiber washers, liners, etc. between the reloads that would conspire to make this a bad choice. This is also not a “certified” load any more.

After building many motors from 38mm to 6″ diameter and understanding those Motors and how they perform, what you are doing is taking a “specific” sized nozzle that has been run and tested to give pressure for a given propellant. The 2 motors have different convergences and divergences as well as most importantly different nozzle throat sizes. By switching them you could end up with an instant BOOM!!! and the other a worthless no thrust generating fizzle. That is some of the biggest issues.
Enough said. As I thought.

We are Good to Go with our scheduled and approved launch on Saturday April 5th and Sunday April 6th, from the North Site, subject to change – Mostly cloudy and High Winds predicted. Range and waiver should be active by 9AM on Saturday. The Pawnee National Grassland remains fragile and dry, so extra precautions are in order. Please stay on the authorized roads and please don’t park more than 100’ off the road at the flight line.
