[QUOTE="TxPhred, post: 2100265, member: 56833"] I am just a shooter and have learned much in this forum, soooo, I would humbly add a part “b” to Rich’s question, will a pressure gauge system read / display the same result if you had the same round chambered in a standard / minimum dimension action vs one that is overbuilt? For an example, (overbuilt= and yes, this is ridiculous) if you built a 4” diameter action and barrel with a vault style bolt you screwed in to load the round and pressure tested against any Remington clone, assume chambers and the round are all equal, would the pressure reading be the same? The gauges used are “strain” gauges measure “ stretch of the metal at the max stretch during combustion? If this is the case, then the resulting measurement would be mostly relevant to that chamber/action combination? I am not saying that the measurement is without value, and may be a good starting point, and might or should help the shooter in their caliber decision, but is this the most relevant number? If I choose to build a very light weight rifle, and choose less than minimum dimensions for my build, then pressure readings on a heavier build would not / should not be considered for my build? Thank u all again for your knowledge. [/QUOTE]
