375,416,458 WSM cartridges
Australian Stalker cartridges. Spoke with them the other day,they claim pressures not exceeding around 46000 PSI for all of them. Load lengths 2.90" max.

375: 270gn@2600,300gn@2475,350gn@2300.
416: 350gn@2300,400gn@2150.
458: 400gn@2200,500gn@1980
Stated that charge of for .375/350gnWoodleigh is 70gns/W760.

I am not convinced pressures are that low?

BE it old news or new,

does a maximum 46000psi for any of them seem like a realistic claim? Considering that most medium bore short mags operate around 60Kpsi or above.

Agreed...it's hard to believe anyone would stop at 46,000 PSI
