I've wondered about that when I compare the Hodgdon number for the 25 WSSM to the 25-06 Rem. With a 117 gr bullet from a 24" bbl the WSSM has almost identical velocity to the 25-06 using 10% less powder (4831) But pressures are 15% higher. I assume it's because of the compressed load in the 25WSSM.
