Yeah, interesting! Especially since now it is Speer being concerned about pressures after some of the absolutely horrendous loads they published in #8!!!!!!!!!
Also interesting is how Hercules/Alliant published loads for over 30 years, PRESSURE TESTED MIND YOU(!), recommended the Federal 200 SPM primer in .357 Magnum with 2400 and didn't find any pressure issues! And now that Speer and ATK/Alliant are related by marriage it is suddenly an issue????? I don't think so.
Something to keep in mind when reading loading manuals, and that is,
"It ain't necessarily gospel just because it's in print!" Especially if printed in a Speer manual.
