This was done with several different powders and this was the most conservative curve that could be found. If you look on the bottom right of the window, you will see that once the bullet has made it 16.8mm, the chamber pressures reach a staggering 49,180psi. Almost double the recommended max. People have reported older shotguns exploding (bessiedog) for only using steel in a leag rated gun. I believe that this old relic of a 38-55 would have become a mushroom cloud at the bench long before it got to 2100fps.
Please anyone else that has a 38-55 here is the proof that you cannot obtain those velocites and you will likely be killed. Do not try to duplicate the fiction you have read previously in this thread and please stay within the confines of your loading manual.

Instead of spewing your crud, why don't you look at what pressures a Model 94 can be operated at? HINT: Maybe check out some of the other rounds the rilfe is chambered in, and check out the pressures they run at.
Peep out a few reloading manuals while you are at it.
Again, we discussed this before...
