    It probably could go faster, I just looked up some load data, 40 gns of 2209 was within book max and seemed like a nice number. I shot a ladder up to 40 and called it good - mainly for ease of loading and barrel life. Pedersons who made brass for it have an article which points out that some recommended loads for this cartridge are a bit hot.
