SAAMI conformal piezo spec is 62,000 psi MAP (Maximum Ave pressure) etc etc...

I'm confused.
I'm sitting here looking at the actual SAAMI manual and it clearly lists MAP/223Rem as:
52,000 CUP (page 14)
55,000 psi (page 19)
nowhere is 62,000 anything listed.
American Rifleman notes just recently:

SAAMI hasn’t set pressure limits for it.
> This is why all handloading data published conforms to SAAMI .223 Rem

Am I misreading (or missing) something?
