Lightbulb First Time Bottle Fill and Hookup, help

OK,
I got my 10lb bottle filled and I hooked up the pressure gauge and line to the bottle. I found a leak and fixed it. But what bothered me was that the gauge would read 600lbs. Is that normal for a 10lb bottle full? I thought it would be around 900lbs. Anyway I closed the bottle and let the nitrous seep out of the lines and tried it again, still 600lb. I'm running a Nitrous Works Wet kit at 75shot, if that helps. Let me hear your 2 cents.

Thanks

the pressure goes up with heat so if it is cold out or if your bottle iis cold then yes 600 is probably right.

I agree when you first open the valve it will not read right off the back cause the bottle is cold unless you have a heater on it. It will raise as the temp get up there. Now if it leak alot from the get go then yes you wont have enough pressure to get you down the track.
