45 Colt Carbine Pressure Level?
« on: July 23, 2007, 09:36:15 AM »
I was discussing this subject with a co-worker.
The standard SAAMI pressure for the standard 45 Colt is 14,000 PSI.
For Rugers and TCs the levels in some loading manuals is 21,000 PSI.
Would our 45 Colt Carbine be in this 21,000 PSI or not?

Forgive me if this has been asked before.

Thanks, MIke

Thanks Quick...
you are right us old fellas just sometimes can't remember...

Guys, Quick was being nice to me... It was I who just asked this question... The answer just didn't take the first time...

Hope I am not doing this at my job too... I would retire but they won't let me... maybe if I show them this, they will let me go.
