The factory smokeless loads available now from RWS/RUAG and S&B are essentially "nitro for black" loads, loaded to blackpowder pressures. Once RWS offered a "High-speed" load too, the so-called Swiss load, 200gr pointed bullet at 2250fps, labeled "for use in Nitro-proofed guns only", but ceased to do so for liability reasons. Hunters usually don't read such warnings. And then there was the proprietary so-called "Funk load", 228gr at 2300fps, offered by Suhl gunmaker Chr. Funk for his own, high-pressure proofed (crown/E stamp)guns.
