Therefore the reading would be pretty much useless. Whether you use the copper crusher method, or the strain gauge method, the sensor needs to be placed where it will see the maximum pressure produced in the barrel, to provide the information required to produce safe loads.

You Best Think that one over again. The pressure at the muzzle is the actual pressure driving the bullet. To see any dangerous chamber pressures one must observe the primer, Case head and stiffness of the bolt. This is the Time to back off, in powder, and conversation before you bring the phases of the moon into this conversation.
