[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 261278, member: 10755"] Steve, The device I use does not record absolute pressure in the same way that a piezoelectric transducer does, it utilizes the 'pulse' generated by recoil to mathematically deduct an average pressure, it is a complicated mathematical equation/program that I only partially understand, that's all I know at this point. I agree that there is no wrong decision in whichever a person likes, but, to think that one is superior to the other because of HYPE and unfounded data is just wrong. I agree also that brass is the limiting factor to any cartridge, but the chamber has little to do with it, and rifles are far stronger than any brass made, so when the brass lets go, so does the rifle, some worse than others. Even I do not know where I am with absolute pressure using this device, that's why I still measure case head expansion before and after, soft brass will expand at lower pressure than harder brass, so the actual pressure is of little concern, as long as it is SAFE at the pressure level we are using. I experiment with a number of calibres, and I require an approximate pressure level to be safe, working with untested powders in certain cartridges can be very dangerous, so I use a buffer, as in my device, to be safe.
