The pressure I'm sure of was part of the .44 Mag loading here.



In the development of the .357 Mag, in the early 1930s, S&W recorded 42,000 psi using #80 powder (according to a 1969 G&A article by Elmer) and a 358429.

I'll have to look around and see if I have any other pressure figures from Elmer.
