I seem to remember that Tom Roster in an article once said that there was no correlation between lower feet per second loads and low chamber pressure in modern loads. I agree whole heartedly that RST is the only manufacturer that really caters to the vintage shooter who definitively needs low PSI loads.

Exactly right on the fps and pressure correlation. Just look at reload data and you will see it is all over the map.
