Shotshell Pressure Question?
Any idea as to what the pressure level would be on these Federal 12’s?

My guess from the speed and Dram equ. lite to moderate depending the gun your using. I would save them neet box are they paper?

Wow! That box isn't even scuffed. It appears as if it was just removed from the original case. Too bad the original cartridges are missing. As I am sure others will tell you, 'low brass' does not always equate to 'low pressure'. Most folks here load their own. I, and many others, do not load shotshells, but purchase RSTs or Polywad Vintagers. The latter two are loaded to lower pressures to save wear and tear and keep older guns 'on face'. Cheers!

This may be a stretch, but.....I am puzzled by the reference to velocity. Only in the past 10(?) years or so have I seen velocities on shotshell boxes. Plus, the cartridge illustrated on the box matches the contents. Also, the shooter is dressed in a fashion that, to me, pre-dates plastic shells. Is that Federal box some sort of a 'retro' product designed to coincide with an anniversary of some sorts?

The boxes I got, I picked right out of one of the open cases in the store. |
Interesting! I have lotsa reference material for Winchester and Remington products, but nothing for Federal.

These were sort of an anniversary edition "Red Sweater" box, similar to what Winchester did with the Super X box. Original box is on top. Those are modern shells, might want to use caution in a Damascus gun!

Cool! Thanks, Robert. I 'Googled' for awhile, but came up empty-handed.

So what makes the pressure high? Is it the drams of powder "and or" the brand of smokeless powder? This pressure thing is very confusing to me to say the least. They were using smokeless powder back in the day before my Damascus barreled gun ever left the Parker factory. |
