Several years ago when the mighty 500 came into existence I have read where the pressure spec was close to 60,000psi, then shorty afterward, about the same time they started manufacturing the 500 with rifle primers they lowered the spec to just above 50,000psi.
Well now I have read where they raised the SAAMI spec to around 60,000psi again for the 500 S&W Magnum. Has anyone else heard/read this?
