The issue with manuals is not PRESSURE, it's the supposed intended use.
In other words most manuals ASSUME when the shooter is using lead they are using dead soft swaged bullets at minimum velocity for bullseye shooting.
There are too many variables for manuals to suggest mid range loads using 240/250 gr hard cast SWC loads.
A mid range 1000 fps 240/250 SWC load is a great range day and general purpose load that no factory offers and no manual wants to do the research to publish.
