Are you implying that I can not trust what is listed as a pressure reading for cartridges in my load books? That they are outright lies and we can safely go further than max?
You can generally trust that they are safe. But there is some disagreement about what "max" means. SAAMI keeps changing the standards, and there is a competing standard in Europe called "CIP" that has quite a bit higher maximum pressures.

There are some older manuals that used dubious testing methods that have very hot loads that may actually not be safe.
