Hello! I’m curious about how much pressure pure lead roundballs loaded with black powder (and substitutes) generate. I was searching for information on this subject but I didn’t find anything of value. Is there any data, like this chart of modern calibers http://www.leverguns.com/articles/saami_pressures.htm available regarding roundballs and black powder?
For example, what’s the maximum generated pressure of a .44 cal roundball loaded with 25-30 grains of black powder? What about smoothbore pistols vs rifled revolvers?
