Maybe if you were eating the ammo, the labels would be the same . . .

That would be a nice touch. Is there enough room on the box to show all of the info mentioned above, plus the length of the barrel that yields these specs? And if it was a test barrel, indicate if the barrel was vented, if they are revolver rounds?

How about............... wait for it................ Gasp! Pressure in psi or cup printed on the box of ammo?

Next, what if new firearms contained info in the user manual about maximum pressure in psi or cup for two scenarios: Frequent firing many rounds over a long period of years, and max pressure if the firearm will be used seldom, such as discharge only in self defense?

Gosh, if this were happening, there would not be so many firearms enthusiasts walking around with a cloud of question marks swirling around their heads.
