AEA AEA 357 Challenger side lever VS Texan 308

Today my eyes were opened up so to speak when sighting in the AEA 357 rated at 340 fpe, at least mine is with 214gr but, at 150gr-3200psi this is max psi any more you start to lose fps,956 and 304 fpe. When you match that against my Texan .308 with 150gr 3300 psi 965fps = 310 fpe and max fpe 362.94 @ 3400 psi and adjust power wheel. both have heavy hammer springs. Still needs tweaking, was running out of day light. 5 shots from 100 yards 2 of them are from sighting in , 3 from what I have to tighten up. I was reloading with single shot tray.
