Anyone know information about this cross?(455.4 Andrews x self). Wondering how much over or under on weight estimation?

Hey kyle this will be the first year of self's......Pappy's Fatback was a self...537 Hildebrand 2002... Georgia grown... grown in Ga. There was a contest on the seed so there are plenty who grew them!!! a site search might help here!

I may be mistaken, probably am, but I haven't seen a 455.4 Andrews x self as big as Mark's 816. Correct?

The 455.4 seifed seeds that are out there will all do the same in my opinion for a grower. You have to look at how the grower grew the 455.4 Bills and Brians 455.4 selfed crosses will probably do better than mine do to the fact that mine split.
Question by selfing a seed does that make the walls of the fruit thicker I don't know. If anyone has any ideas on the subject please comment,
