Game Load 2 1/2dr 1oz at 1165fps (H160 6)

| They are fairly stout. The 2.5 dram shells are about 9,500 psi, and the others go up from there, but I don't by how much. |

I don't know the exact pressures.
Most US ammo manufacturers develop their loads to operate recoil and gas operated semi autos, create consistent ballistics and are reasonably uneffected by temperature, there maybe more considerations but those three I am sure of. The lowest probable pressure will be 9,000 PSI range. |
