2312.20formula? speed vs. chamber pressureCSC32::HADDOCKPas Fini!Wed Apr 30 1997 00:4714
    
    Well my chronograph got here.  A Chrony Beta ($89 from Nachez).  Does
    anyone have any information on any formula that would give a fair
    approximation of chamber pressure from bullet speed?  I do realize
    that there are many variables: caliber, bullet weight, barrel length,
    brass volume, powder type, etc., but I'd think someone would have
    figured this out by now.   It would probably still be only an 
    approximation since things like the bullet drag on a given barrel
    would still vary.  I also suspect that the pressure increase is some
    sort of curve, since at some time I'd suspect that it would take a 
    lot more pressure to push a little more speed, but I'd think a person 
    should be able to get within a reasonable ballpark.

Ahhh Gi'day...

    Nope, not even worth working on, I would think. I think some people did
    some work on pressure from chamber dimensions, but actually chamber
    pressure has little direct linear relationship with velocity unless
    about 200 other things are taken to hold constant.
