Dr. FrankCan anyone direct me to a source?
I am looking for tables, charts or lists of chamber pressures for handgun ammunition.

Ol` JoeDownload the Vihtavuori reloaders guide. The last one I had and their manuals have the SAAMI and CIP pressure rateings for all cartridges covered listed.
http://www.vihtavuori-lapua.com/The French handloading tables for Vectan powders show the CIP max pressure ratings in bars and psi. They also show, for some of the loads they suggest, the actual chamber pressures their suggested loads produce. Better than any other manual in that respect. Here is a link:

I believe the Alliant reloader's guide also shows pressures for their handgun powders....

I've got a Hodgdon Manual in my hands at the moment and it has "Pressures" for handgun ammo. Some in CUP and some in psi. You can check their Web Site and see it.
Check out
www.reloadbench.com Not sure if they have exactly what you are looking for but the site does have a lot of good info.
