I asked G&H to verify the chamber size of 2 5/8. They sent me 2 pictures that I have tried to attach here. I am not too good with computers but here goes.
thank you

also if you have some hulls that a 209 primer is to big for the primer hole these hulls use the no 57 primer which is smaller than a 209 primer....old remington paper and plastic hulls used the no 57 primer.....i still reload a few old hulls useing the 57 primer....charlie

Found this on a reloading forum and it works. Take a SPENT 209 primer and insert it into the 57 opening using your normal press and procedure. Take it out and a new 209 will now fit. I have a case of 16 ga. early Remington plastic cases, no shot collar and fiber wads that I have been reloading this way. Have also done Remington paper 28 ga.

Thanks for all the obsolete, impossible to find, load data! I just picked up a lee loader in 2 7/8” and 3.5” . I am trying to find the heaviest “safe” loads possible for my Damascus Charles daly 1873 SxS for turkey hunting. I ordered some BPI nickel plated #6’s and have some chilled #5’s. I have a few RST empty cases laying around. I bought 2 boxes of #5 RST 1 1/4oz which didn’t pattern as good as I would have liked. I also bought a box of #6 RST which I haven’t tried yet. I was given sone various plastic wads to try and have some cushion wads and cardboard shot cards coming. I have 700x, red dot, green dot, unique, FG, FFG, and FFFG powders. What is the max PSI for Damascus barrels? I thought it was around 6,000 and I see loads listed up to 10,000 on the 4 page load table. I would like to load the heaviest load possible. I see the heaviest listed is 1 5/8 oz. any load recipes for 10 gauge RST casing with a 1 5/8oz load? Cant wait! Has anyone ever tried duplex loads? I was thinking of half #5’s and #6’s .

Given your sarcasm for my effort some years ago in gathering all the historical data I could find for loading the short ten all I will say at this point is good luck.

Peter - the rest of us appreciate your efforts

as for the max pressure question - scientifically - I think its just a few PSI under where your barrels blow out - let us know

There was zero sarcasm meant by my post. I was honestly excited to see all the load data! As for PSI....I meant pressure. I see 6,000 to 10,000 pressures listed( I called it PSI). I was asking if all of these listed loads were safe for Damascus barrels. I cannot find any load books listing Damascus load pressures. From other readings I was under the impression that 6000 was the max load pressure in Damascus 10 gauge barrels. I’ve been reloading and casting for over 20 years but have never loaded shotgun shells.
