John,

From what I have read and heard from others is that there is no reliable method of conversion. I understand that PSI is measured as peak pressure and LUP (Lead Unit of Pressure) is sort of cumulative because a small lead slug is actually crushed to make the reading.

Carl.

PSI is about 1000 higher than LUP for shotgun pressure range. I loved the PB but it got to expensive. Maybe you weren't loading enough to generate enough pressure for a clean burn. Any of you guys who live close to Bald Mountain come on up to my home range - Lapeer County Sportsmans Club. We have a 5-Stand, Sporting Clays, and Duck Towers [at this time of year]. Think you'll find us cheaper, more friendly, and more fun. We're open Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Give me a call at home if you're thinking of coming; there's not always someone at the club to answer the phone. I run the shotgun venue, so we can set up what ever you want. We also have wobble trap, skeet, and trap. Call me at 810-724-5582. Paul

Long story Charlie. I was 10hrs enroute to go the 480 miles. Started out in ferocious headwinds, low clouds/fog and drizzle and 33deg but never iced up; not sure why. It had to be close. After 100miles on the deck up a river canyon it opened up and from there on it was just headwinds up to 45mph. I made it home in time to visit a dying friend one last time; he died 3.5hrs later so it was worth the difficult flite.
