Cup pressure of Golden Saber .38 spl +p ?

[JB357MAG]

Does anyone know what the cup pressure of the
Remington Golder Saber 125 grain .38 spl +p is?

Thanks

Jimmy

the CUP probably isn't published anywhere, because the industry as a whole stopped using CUP decades ago when piezo-electric pressure transducers became cheap and easy to use.

Why not email Remington?

I had similar questions about different powders & the ballisticians have been VERY helpful.

CUP pressure ratings have become obsolete and have also been determined to be far less accurate in terms of such. So even though there is a rough system of conversion of CUP to PSI available to those who look a bit deeper in their books or google it, it is less than reliable in terms of accurately determining the CUP equivilant to PSI. I own a lot of older reloading books that display pressure ratings in CUP format, however, since the transducer PSI ratings have become the primary reliable means of pressure rating a cartridge, few individulas are even interested in CUP redulated data. And those that do use that system of pressure rating are mostly shot shell loaders.

It's probably no more than 17,00 PSI believe it or not. They can go as high as 20,000 PSI but it's very rare any manufacturer goes anywhere near the top pressures. Sorry I can't give you those numbers in CUP.

Standard +P ammo is rated to have a Maximum Average Pressure of 19,900 PSI. Maximum Absolute pressure is 21,900 PSI. +P+ can run up to 25,000 PSI. Within limits for modern guns, even newer alloy models, but poison in pre war Smiths and pre-1926 Colt's.

Some ammo, like Buffalo Bore and out-of-business Blue Bunny Ammo, produce or produced 38 SPL ammo with pressures approaching 25,000 PSI.

Not for continuous use in small frame guns, but at $1+ per shot, that is not a problem.

Remmie GS? They use a slow burning powder to keep pressures down. Great ammo, but LOUD with a huge muzzle flash.
