If they saw less than a 30 FPS and 1500 PSI difference, in a SPCII chamber, than stepping up the load to anything short of a magnum load isn't going to bring that back to the results the SPCII adherents are claiming.If you mean what the handloaders are claiming, I agree that 200 fps increase while maintaining 55,000 psi isn't possible.
However, the 20-30 fps difference observed by Loubser doesn't correlate to the 80-100 fps gain listed for the SSA Tactical loads, and the 150 fps increase shown for Wilson Combat ammo. That can't be dismissed as inflated marketing numbers because it's too easy to verify by anyone with a chronograph.
