“Maximal Average (Service) Pressure” for 850 BAR shells is about 10,700 PSI. The Ely loads are probably less (but Ely is unlikely to tell you ) but the RSTs are about 6000 psi.
As Frank suggested, I would not use the gun with any load until the barrels have been evaluated by someone with the expertise, equipment, and interest to do so.
