Muzzle velocity and chamber pressures (note plural) are related, but the relationship is not linear. Trying to guess chamber pressures based on muzzle velocity is an unproductive effort.

Hi,

Respectfully, did you read my quote above? Velocity was tested from a 4 inch barrel, not a 10 inch one.

Yes, I agree that muzzle velocity and chamber pressure are related. With a Luger, chamber pressure should not be the real issue, breach block slam should be, however.

Again, use this ammo at your own risk in a Luger!
