I called them yesterday and got that info. I strongly suspect the 180 gr load is within SAAMI spec or ~ 59 - 60k PSI as is most 30-06 load data. I've also noticed through the years that Speer data, for the cartridges I've loaded for, tends to run lighter/slower than most other load data providers. Maybe their jacket material causes more pressure? Thanks.
