Any idea what the pressue is like on new Herters Target loads?

[Harold Pickens]

I don't know the cost, but don't think it is too much.
The pressures generated are not directly proportional to the weight of the load.
Recoil can be calculated knowing the weight of the gun, payload weight, and speed of payload.
Pressure depends on the burn rate of powder used, the hull itself, and wad used--I don't think their is any mathematical formula to calculate pressure, and it must be measured directly. At least that is what I believe to be true, not a physicist or engineer, however.

I noticed on precision site that they will not test factory loads. I don’t understand why that would be.. I’d be very happy to pay thier $25 fee to test 5 shells..

When you send Tom your reloads to test, you detail for him what powder, primer, hull, size shot and wad you used, plus grains and payload. With factory loads Tom doesn't know all the detailed components used and factory loads can vary from time to time. With factory loads the fps may average the same but if components vary, the pressures can change. As long as pressures fall within the standards, manufacturers don't care.
