This has absolutely nothing to do with pressures Titanic Steel, or any other barrel steel, should be subjected to. Sherman Bell destroyed a set of Parker barrels at something like 31,000 psi.
I’m sure you will find that the 75,000 lbs you refer to is “shear strength” and not distortion or burst pressure.
A proof load for Parker fluid steel barels is well under 20,000 psi and should never be subjected to loads of even half of that.
Again, I keep all of my loads, even for my Titanic barrels, at less than 7,000 psi and they do everything I ask them to do.
