PSI question

[iamthewalrus]

does anyone know about how much psi a normal 10/22LR rifle round generates when its fired??

I'm not sure but i don't think you can measure that in pounds per square inch. You have to be able to hold a static presure, (maintain a constent presure). I allways here about muzzel volicity, but i don't know how to measure that eather.

i dont recall the exact amount, but its probably between high thousands to mid ten thousands range

A 223 round is said to have peak pressur eof 3500psi,got this of mithbusters so cant really be a reliable sorce...But nitrocellulose(the explosive in bulletshells)has an explosive rate of 3200fps,so if some 1 can do some math or something maybe,just maybe they can figure it out.

My new shot gun will give the projectile a kenetic enegy two times bigger then a 9mm pistol

Is this a commercial shotgun?or one you made(pneumatic,combustion)?and how do you figure these things out?What math equations are used(im not very good with math).

post some pics of your shotgun ,i really love shotguns (their some of my favourites)

Well, I looked it up - a few minutes with google - and it seems that (depending apon how hot the load is) peak pressures vary from 25,000 psi to 30,000 psi

i read in a gun magazine that the max pressure for a .308 round is 45,000 psi.
