Yeah, one could jack velocity up in an effort to ameliorate the problem. But hellish high pressures would be encountered before you did much good, I fear.

I said it before and I'll say it again, for me the 3000fps I get with 87 Speers is plenty ok. It's the load that made the .250-3000's reputation, its accurate, not stressful on the gun, brass, or shooter, and kills stuff dead. If I need more moxie than that it's time to reach for heavier artillery. 'Tain't a whitetail living or dead that could tell the difference between getting hit with an 87 or a 100 grain bullet.
