The book load 4ager keeps referring to, is another guess. And yes, it is a guess in this case, as the very important COAL was changed. And who knows about the manufacturer of the case and primer...
But, with the variables that were thrown in by Brian and possibly by T/C's fondness for freebore, both resources are just that - guesses.
But it's really interesting that neither party to the suit introduced lab results for those loads, in a T/C Encore chamber...
Since the gun was intact after the incident, it really wouldn't have been too difficult to work up a load to see at what point you duplicate the failure. (Assuming the action came open, which is the scenario that makes the most sense to me).
