CUP/PSI that caplock revolvers and conversion cylinders are rated for.

We should have a sticky about the approximate CUPs/PSI that caplock revolvers, their main components (barrel cylinder, frame, etc..) and the conversion cylinders are rated for.

Both here and the Handloading subforum, so shooters reloading with smokeless powder can know exactly how to tailor their loads and work around a solid number.

Lets see if anyone here knows the exact pressure specs for the above mentioned. Perhaps someone like Alchimista or Mike Cumpston who have the tools to do a scientific analysis and insider information.

Remember, PSIs cannot be reliably converted to CUPs and vice versa.
 
I totally agree. There are of course those that will still push it to the limit but having some good parameters available would be great. Forewarned is forearmed.
