High pressure to reach my

I’ve been pumping for over a year. I do not use a gauge.

My pump is 2”x 8” dry
Hydro-max 7 wet

My question is, I do not know what HG I’m at, but to reach my non pump size of 7x 5.5 it feels like I’m at high pressure. As much as it’ll go in the pump, I do it.

I read a lot about 5in hg is safe. Are you guys hitting your non pump size at 5 ?

Thanks for any input
Steve

Post pump is 7.5x 6.2.
