Hi All,
I have a damascus barrelled 2 1/2 inch hammer gun 1905 westley richards that has sebsequently been nitro proofed to three tons (uk Tons) say 6500 psi.

I have searched for weeks and bought various books to find loads that are under 3 tons and so far no go.

I would much appreciate any help to find such load recipes.

In australia we cant buy low pressure loads at all, and most bought in from th uk for the edwardian vintagers club are way above three tons

have ordered a ponsness from ballistic products but even they have nothing that low pressure.
checked all the powder manufacurers and have found some low pressure 2 3/4 loads.. does anybody know if they can just be loaded into a 2 1/2 inch with smaller wads.
thanks george
