My belief in "Reloader Pressure Sign" measurements declined about the time I began Piezo pressure testing.

Most telling was after watching some rifles get "proofed" by the firing of two "proof" loads. The "Reloader" in me looked at the brass and thought the load was "approaching max".

The actual Piezo measurement on those "proof" cartridges was 80,000 psi.

I went home and pulled some of my handloads.

If you get more velocity, you get more pressure. TANSTAAFL applies
