Shoulder / Military Press proportion to Bench Press

I was talking to a friend today (my old lifting buddy that now lives
in another county), and he sort of made me feel like I'm not doing
heavy enough weight on shoulder presses in proportion to my other
upper body exercises. So I'm curious, is there some sort of guideline
about what the proportions should be?
Currently, on my chest day I do an 8/6/4 pyramid on the bench, at
305/325/345 (meaning, I do 345lbs for 4 reps). On my shoulder day, I
do 3 sets of 10 pull ups, followed by an 8/6/4 pyramid of shoulder
presses (using an Olympic bar) at 125/135/145.
I follow that with bent over rows and shrugs, but that's not really
relevant to the question.
Is shoulder pressing 145x4 drastically out of proportion to a bench of
345x4?
