Powder PSI

I am wondering about PSI(pounds per square inch) on reloads regarding the powder. We see so many reloading charts about type of powder, grain of bullet, primers, crimp, etc. But when a bullet is seated while reloading and compresses the powder is there a measurement on the PSI pressure on the actual powder. And is it different in different loads? Is the actual PSI calculable or is it just "load by the chart".
