[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1220879, member: 96226"] A point of clarification: Chamber pressure won't increase but the pressure differential between inside the bore and outside it will be higher. That's mostly immaterial but an interesting point as it means the pressure vessel will undergo increased stress in containing the high pressure. In the parts of the troposphere that humans inhabit the difference is so small as to be negligible for everyday purposes but it's an interesting point nonetheless. [/QUOTE]
