what does "under" mean, is that like a "MAX" tolerance callout?
Isnt there a source for this info?
 
🤷‍♂️

This is from Wikipedia:

However, the cartridges are loaded to different pressure levels (55,000 psi vs 62,000 psi), with the 5.56 NATO being greater.[5] The .223 Wylde chamber allows the use of both pressure levels safely, while also increasing accuracy potential across the range of potential bullet selections
 
yeah, I read that, I read it differently but suppose thats as close as I will get to an official PSI.
