The SAAMI limits for 44 Special are held ridiculously low (Yes,... I know why they are held low).
For years I have advocated for a sanctioned 44 Special +P rating.
A slightly warm 44 Special load will do about 95% of what a 44 caliber round is called upon to do. When loaded to take advantage of the strength of a modern 44 Special revolver, the 44 Special is an extremely capable cartridge. That generally means exceeding the SAAMI limits by a little.
Unfortunately, there's no such thing as 44 Special +P (but there should be IMO).
