"What they got" is suspect as they did not test their loads for pressure. They used the same flawed brass reading techniques that handloaders use.
I guess that would depend on your concept of "flawed".

Pressure tested data compared to Reading Brass Tea Leaves? I'll take Pressure data over Tea Leaves any day, especially when the two differ greatly.
That's fine, I'll keep reading my Tea Leaves the way I have been for over 40 years. I know that brass signs as not "accurate" in the sense that one gets a precise pressure value. But that does not matter very much.

What matters is you stay within the safe working range of pressure, for your gun, with the components you are using. Pressure info is nice to have, its another guideline, but it really matters little to me if a load is 38.8Kpsi or 42.5K CUP. What matters is that it is within the usual safety range of the gun.
