Larry,
I enjoy reading your posts and the knowledge which you share.
Toward this thread, I found Rocketman's explaination of the pressure curve produced in a shotgun barrel to be in the standard parlance of gun writing. The use of the term peak or maximum may be an unnecessary adjective but is certainly neither wrong nor confusing to most. I use such terms in reports so that my message is not taken out of context by others. "The pressure developed was X psi at 6" from the breach with a certain load". One might ask, "Was that the peak (maximum) pressure?" Using the term peak or maximum clarifies the message.
If someone as knowledgable as Rocketman takes the time to share his knowledge with us, then perhaps we should appreciate him for that.
Respectfully,
Mark
