How precise do you need to be? There are several other variables to consider depending on your desired level of accuracy.

Just don't go over to the dark side.

If you're screwing with 7000psi, I'd use a factor of safety of at least 2 or so (build it to 14,000 psi in order to hold 7000 psi).

7000psi is nothing to toy with.

A 50 ton sandstone block oughta do it.

 

[Toastedlightly]

well, you also have to account for atmospheric pressure (which is ~14.7 psi)

 

[FoBoT]

amateurs should NOT mess with that high pressure of systems, very dangerous they are

I don't think a 10lb hole is considered bulk.
