. . . Swedish surpluss ammo was loaded to the old standards and the most common "M41 prik" have a normal presure of 3200bar
and Kragsafe . . .

By way of comparison, US readers may note that the CIP "Pmax" for the .30/40 Krag is 3250bar (47137psi) - measured by the transducer method and not to be confused with SAAMI copper-crusher standard (40000 CUP).
