[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2801158, member: 15054"] Larry i have tested pressures to seat bullets and got some really great information and i too do not get consistent results with federal cases. I used something like this to test bullet seating pressures and pullet pull pressures were also tested. I gotta test things you know. Here is the tester type I used to check pressures (valve spring pressure tester)..You could make one from a drum wheel cylinder and a gauge twisted into it. [url]http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PRO-66835?seid=srese2[/url] Most of my testing resulted in 40-120 psi so if you plan on testing i would say 150 psi gauge would be max for the .308 diameter stuff. Even with .005 interference fit I never got more than 120...yes .005" I was messing around to see what would happen. [/QUOTE]
