Default Psi question

Hello guys! i have a question on psi.... Ok i had my bottle filled about a 7-8 days ago(first time) pressure started at about 950 or 900 used it a couple times.. found out 2 nights ago that my bottle was leakin through the gauge and the little blockout fiting on the other side.. so it was leaking ever since i got the bottle filled(not much but when soap and water added u can see quite a few bubbles) so i got the problem fixed and the bottle pressure was about 600 psi, the bottle wieghs in at about 12 pounds.

I installed my heater tonight and got it to heat up like crazy it got super hot and the pressure got up to like 750.. u guys think it didnt climb to 950-1000 due to the bottle being almost empty? btw its a 10lb bottle.
thx
Bubba

A 10lb. bottle weighs about 14.5lbs empty and 24.5 when full. However I usually fill them until the weigh 25.5-26.0lbs. I think it's time to refill the bottle and get a more accurate scale.
