I wish I could be sure of the cap voltage. In any case, losses will bring it down to some degree. Your theory seems reasonable to me.

The bang size for my TT-42 may possibly be as high as 5.2J,
rather than 4J. I wish I could be sure of the cap voltage.
In any case, losses will bring it down to some degree. Your
theory seems reasonable to me.
