[QUOTE="X-man, post: 804693, member: 8416"] 80,000psi sounds crazy I know, but how would you know that? I can tell you what I know from first hand testing with both an Oehler 43 and a RSI pressure trace. Extractor marks start to appear at 68-75,000psi with domestic brass. Lapua brass can be much higher. I have no idea how much pressure it takes to blow a primer (I have never blown one) and my pressure testing equipment only reads to 80,000psi. The only way to know you are reasonably safe (without pressure testing equipment) is to make sure you do not exceed the maximum listed velocity for your powder/bullet. [/QUOTE]
