Hi.

finally completed my load development with my Carl Gustaf semin custom rifle
it shoots the 130 hornady SP in about 3/4" with new win brass and 1/2" with neck sized brass.
average velocity is 3140 fps

can someone with quickload run the numbers for me?
i’d like to see what it guess the pressure is at.

so here goes
winchester brass 69gr h20 capacity (fireformed and neck sized)
60 gr H4831SC
cci200 primer
3.285” oal (0.020” from rifling)
23" barrel

edit: temperature 20°F

let me know if other info is needed

thanks

thanks Dr Mike
i was expecting a velocity closer to what i’m experiencing.

when i look at the 3139 fps velocity line, it reads 64000 psi
can i expect that this is about what the pressure is in my rifle, since it is the velocity i get?
 
All else being equal, there will be a rough correlation between velocity and maximum chamber pressure. If you are getting ~3140 fps, it is likely that Pmax is ~64K psi.
