Not sure of your formula of the goings on in the barrel, but your thoughts on chamber pressure are spot on. If its 44,000 psi inside the 450 nitro, then its that pressure per square inch of inner surface area.
Yes, I agree, except when the case head separates on firing.
When that happens, chamber pressure is acting on the entire area of the case head, not just the inner area.
