Paul et all,
In a shotshell PEAK pressure is created in the chamber.
In a rifle peak pressure is created when the bullet is forced, essentially swagged, into the rifling.
When reviewing pressure curves notice that peak pressure of a shotshell occurs early in the curve as measured in time. Remember that the shot column is traveling rather slowly at peak pressure in comparison to muzzle velocity.
