[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1708822, member: 101755"] Being a bolt gun, I'm not too sure I would worry about it much...bolt guns can handle a lot more pressure than the AR platform. As I understand it most load data is safe to use in the AR platform...pressures near 55,000...where a bolt gun can take 60,000. Most AR platform shooters should never see any signs of pressure! I equate chamber pressure with published load data's pressure at X grains of powder. If I see in a loading manual 2789fps has a chamber pressure of 55,000...I only load to that velocity, knowing my pressure will be fairly close to the 55,000 threshold set for the AR platform. IIRC...the Gold Dot has a raised ring near the base which could raise your pressure some ! [/QUOTE]
