My Remingtom pump in 35 whelen has NO trouble handeling max loads. Even the old 59 grain load of RL15. This was putting me a bit over 2500 fps. Which I feel is an ideal range for the whelen. No problem with extraction. No signs of pressure.

I Think this it is a case of "Attorney CYA" on the part of the powder & bullet makers.
