I have never seen any factory ammunition that listed pressure. Until the powder manufacturers list reloading data it’s not a concern.

Thats the SAAMI spec drawing for the Buckhammer in that post.

Factory Ammo packaging doesn't list Max Pressure.

Factory drawing yes but why would they post specs for the cartridge that are not true? That is the standard pressure just like it would be for a .45 Colt or .38 Special cartridge etc. Of course they don't list pressure on the ammo box outside of maybe +P I have never seen pressure listed on the consumer cartridge box.

50,000 max psi could be true. .30-30 spec is up there at 42,000 max psi. Both Henry and Marlin .30-30 use a rear locking bolt. With another 8000 psi maybe a rear locking bolt design in the Buckhammer is achievable.
