Those test strengths were found on a site called Paulus(sp*) or something like that... I think the dates on those lines were 2012 so maybe all or some of the formulations of the lines are different now? The disclaimer on the site is that users who wanted to know what their line was actually breaking at could send in good faith a certain length of their line and the person who ran the site would test them on a machine. Seems legit based on all the work put into the amount of testing done.

The reason I am considering Fireline once again is the fact that it is heat fused, so there is a chemical bond which holds the fibers together. In my mind I see when comparing a braid to the the fireline, the braid fails in increments (8 strands) and the fireline fails in a smooth transition (one fused glob of 8 strands)
