DESTRUCTIVE LOAD PRESSURE DATA!!!

THESE LOADS EXCEED SAAMI SPECS. THEY ARE INTENDED TO RESULT IN
CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FIREARM AND/OR THE RELOADED COMPONENTS AS
A MEANS TOWARD COMPILING LOAD PRESSURE DATA. [/B]

Tonight I shot 8.7 gr AA#5 124 gr FMJ FP Hornady, 1.169" 9mm [48,000 cup].

I also shot 8.4 gr Power Pistol 124 gr FMJ FP Hornady, 1.169" 9mm [51,000 psi].
