Low pressure 28 gauge

What do y’all consider low pressure in 28 gauge?

TIA

I think anything under 8k is light.

If you can get it much below 10k you really have to choose your components carefully. It's just not a low pressure gauge. My loads are between 10-11k and I've been shooting them out of a OO frame Parker for 40+ years.

Don't let that scare you off Arthur. Parker did develop the 28ga if I remember correctly and it's always been a high pressure load so go ahead and pull the trigger. You'll love the gauge.
