Max pressure of 1000psi is my rule of thumb. They should be able to
handle more, but I like to have a good safety margin.
I've never burst one of these casings, when overpressured, it's usually
the nozzle end that lets go, in my experience.

Good news because I just purchased a large lot of various 38mm hardware.
Should be a great starting point. Some are not anodized. Was told it was
the last of hardware when production was discontinued.
What should I be modeling for max chamber pressure?
I don't want to discover this limit by trial and error for obvious
reasons.

I've used Gorilla casings quite a lot, and they have worked well for me.

I vaguely recall Jim Harris telling me that Mike Fisher (Binder Design)
made the hardware for him.

I've used both Ellis Mountain and Loki that are similar and workedout
ok.
Even machined a 38mm steel nozzle but now I mostly fly 3 and 4" that I
made myself.

Has anyone used Gorilla hardware for EX sugar motors? Looking at
purchasing some 38mm cases, and was thinking this would be a good
starting point, vs. machining my own.
