How HOT are Your Loads -- Pressure Barrel Testing

Unless you have a pressure barrel, do you really know?

BTW, the one 9mm 96gr custom load was data given to me by another custom bullet maker. LAST TIME I trust his data! Shortly after I produced this video, I called him and told him the results. Solid copper projectiles can vary in hardness ratings, no doubt this coupled with the over zealous powder charge attributed to the 47,000+ psi result.

These pressure barrels are 4" and cost around $500.

Necroposting...

For the Berry's 147 bullet tested, can you share the load data? That 1142fps combined with the relatively low pressure somewhat contradicts pretty much everything I've found so far.
