was looking over some data in books. bear with me, since I'm new to reloading and hoping I can get some better understanding of this. It seems to be fairly common for max loads to be listed, and sometimes they also include the pressure at that load. often times, the pressure is way below the max for that cartridge.
that being said - I get for lead bullets, like for .357 - the max load will be based on an appropriate velocity to get good functioning, so - it is nowhere near max pressure for the cartridge.
are there other scenarios where a max load would be below max pressure? unless I'm remembering wrong - think I was looking at some that were for jacketed, that were also well below max pressure, just curious what the limiting factor there might be - to have that be a max load.
