Could be, but also could because of the increase of frivolous law suits and paranoia from the manufactures. That is real interesting with the Norma Ammo. The guy justified it as maybe being old from sitting attic. I don't buy that, I think that is what it was loaded to begin with.
I have a 200 grain WFNGC that I load in the 10mm using longshot powder and my chrony reads it at 1225 FPS. I am selective on what guns I shoot it out of though. It is a P16-40 with a 10mm bbl that is my hunting pistol that always goes with me regardless of the rifle I choose for the hunt. And surprisingly, even with such a hot load, I shoot it better than other less recoiling loads and guns.
