...assume that the pressures were aso more consistent can i not?
Honestly not. There are only two ways to determine pressure/consistency:

1. Directly: Pressure/strain gauge (or copper-crusher port) installed on the receiver

2. Indirectly: Chronograph measuring/comparing the actual resultant bullet muzzle velocities against each other and as-predicted by manuals/internal ballistics programs

Short of primers falling out and ejector slot imprints..., any sound, soot markings, primer-flattening, web-diameter measurements, etc, etc are all inconsistent black art (the improper application of which brought us low-numbered Springfields)
