just a hypothetical on chamber pressures... but 9mm loads are often around 35,000 PSI, heck, getting hard to find a 9mm load under the SAAMI max for standard pressure... 357 magnum is around 35,000 PSI...
so given these cartridges are close in outter diameter, if both rounds are placed into similar chambers, with similar thicknesses, shouldnt the 9mm cause about as much damage to the chamber as a 357 magnum would as both are causing roughly the same amount of PSI?
now lets take a larger caliber... lets say 44 magnum... lets say this is placed into a chamber, whos wall thicknesses are the same as the wall thicknesses for the 357 magnum, at roughly the same PSI, would it also be true that the 44 mag wouldnt do any more damage to the chamber than the 357 magnum?
i often hear people say 9mm is nothing more than a longer 380... my response tends to be "no, its more like a shortened 357 automag" would you agree with this statement?
this thread isnt for some kind of project, or idea.. just to gain further knowledge on how chamber pressures and chamber thicknesses relate to eachother for the safe firing of the cartridges
