So Art,

Lets get real specific here.

What exactly are the pressure signs you would use for a pistol round of low pressure ie (for example): the 45 acp and of high pressure ie: the 10mm or 40S&W to determine what is overpressured?

I am not trying to be a pain, but this is a serious topic that "seems" to be glossed over here. I personally like to use pressure ring data, but that is darn hard to measure accurately with the mildly expansive 45 vs. the much more expansive 10mm.
