Calvin,

I load smokeless with 700X or 4756, SP-10 Wads, Circle Fly 16 gauge fiber as filler wad, and depending on the height of the shot column compared to the length of the shell sometimes I do use apply pressure on the crimp to seat the shot column a little bit deaper. This will of course raise pressures slightly but when loading for 6000 PSI if it is bumped up to 7000 PSI it is still plenty safe for guns with thick Damascus barrels in good condition.

Respectfully,
Mark

Stunning gun Mark! Regarding Jents question, I don't recall seeing any letters engraved in the inlays either, but I'll check the few that I have, also, is the precious metal inlay on your grade 2 silver or gold? I do not recall at which grade the inlay changed from one to the other.
Thanks,
John
