This document has a wealth of information in the appendices on calculating store loads. Maximum store loads experienced(in flight) includes the aerodynamic loads you are trying to measure, the inertia loads resulting from aircraft accelerations, and local loads like preloads on sway braces and hooks - depending on the bomb-rack/pylon selected.
