In this case I was mostly just playing.  I have some real parts I'd like
to inject with ABS, but I don't think I have enough machine for it.  I
have considered I might set the whole machine in one of the presses, and
push directly on the piston rod.  20 tons ought to do it doncha think.

According to John Taylor 20 tons is the chamber pressure of a .577 elephant rifle which can solve any problem it's applied to.
(Cordite's pressure increases in African heat.)
However that solution is said to kill at one end and maim at the other.

Ah, one of those older lower pressure rounds.  Lots of modern cartridges run around 50,000-55,000 PSI.

    With that much surface area on the base of the bullet you don't need a lot of pressure .

Oh, there is no question that those older big bores carried a lot of energy.  A Sharps 50 (and other rifles) killed a lot of Buffalo.
