Supposing you have a load with published, safe data. In this example a 180 gr cast for a .40 S&W. If you need to substitute a different profile ( but same weight ) bullet that may be longer, or need to seat deep to accomodate a certain gun , is it safe to assume that as long as the velocity is within the published range that the pressure is also? Assuming same powder , of course.
In other words, if I have a load that is 900 FPS according to the book, and verifies with a chrono, and I change bullets / seat deep, drop the powder charge to allow for it, and it is still 900 FPS, should the pressure be the same?
