[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 832349, member: 48043"] The easiest way to measure pressure is to get a strain gauge system. The one we were using the gauge was simply glued to the outside of the chamber and measurements were taken for steel thickness, etc.. You should get within a couple of thousand psi. of actual with one of these if you are careful. The only other way I know of is with pressure barrels with chambers side drilled to accept a pressure gauge. Not very portable; mainly for lab use. The biggest thing people forget about when seating out to the rifling is the bullet won't have a run at the rifling and may essentially "stall" as it hits the rifling, causing the pressure to go up to overcome the drag. This is more trouble with mono. type bullets but can happen with others too. I let 'em run a bit if I can. [/QUOTE]
