[QUOTE="ak7an, post: 1382470, member: 103414"] Alex, thanks for the very understandable explanation. I definitely understand that each rifle barrel is a unique as the person shooting the rifle. My thoughts with using velocity as a measure of pressure is with the same rifle, same components, working towards a known safe velocity, (according to pressure test receivers), and seeing a velocity spike, which would lead me to believe a safe pressure level has been exceeded.. Peak pressure will definitely vary from a medium rate to a slow rate powder. Thats why I try to use the slowest burn rate powder that gives the best returns on velocity.. Once again Thanks for the explanation.. I got no more...:) Thanks Ed [/QUOTE]
