Does anyone know what the SAAMI pressures are for the different .22lr offerings?
I've seen it mentioned that some older High Standard pistols should only be used with standard velocity ammo.
I believe one of the staff or members mentioned once they knew of a case where an old (Steven's Crack Shot maybe?) developed a cracked frame from using .22 high velocity.

The only reference I can find for SAAMI on the .22lr just says the limit is 24,000 psi.
