Not quite, but I have exceeded it. From one of my previous range reports:

4-17-16:
-460 S&W, 200 gr. FTX, H110, Winchester WLR, Starline brass
51.0 gr. Ave vel: 2642, s.d.: 36
51.5 gr. Ave vel: 2656, s.d.: 27
52.0 gr. Ave vel: 2599, s.d.: 51
52.5 gr. Ave vel: 2598, s.d.: 44

The max load listed by Hornady is 52.7 grains, but oddly enough I stopped gaining velocity at 51.5 grains. The Hornady factory ammo averaged 2500 exactly. This was all with my 14" barreled model.
