I'm looking for the actual CIP specs for the 7.62 NATO. I have been to SAAMI's web site and have their info, but I could use a link to the actual CIP data as well.

I am in a heated discussion with a few fellow handloaders that insist that the 7.62 NATO has a MAP of 50,000 psi. I am trying to convince them that the NATO round is 50,000 CUP not psi and I'm loosing ground without the official CIP specs.

Anyone know where I can find this info?

Thanks.
