No way to know w/o a strain gauge and pressure equipment. At best that part is a semi-educated guess mathematically based on the powder companies published data and what my chrono was telling me. If you need me to show you any of the math behind it I can show an example. Just remember this pressure result is only a guess/estimate, not an actual measured result. Many factors contribute to pressure. But as our very own John Barsness has taught us, the chrono can tell you a lot and there is NO free lunch.

Does that help?
