Clark, I'm glad you're gathering catastrophic failure data and just wish that the "general public" could be trusted with your results.

Are you bucking to get enough "education, expertise and experience" to become a court expert or something?

Anyway, the more power (or do you mean velocity?) at the 9mm case failure point vs. the .40 has got to be the fundamental about pressure in a pipe. We think of total PSI as the measurement, but the same PSI in bigger pipe equals more gross pressure loading. I'd betcha that the "escape route" for 9mm gases is also smaller = less gross loading of the brass.
