Thanks for the input. Do you know the pressures
1900 era smokeless loads produced.
Black powder loads ran 3100psi to around
6000psi for a 3.75 dram load depending
On amount of shot (according to Lyman
Black powder reloading manual).
I understand that using 2.75 in 2.5"
Chamber increases psi 200-300. But then
What would I do with my antique roll crimper?
I'll probably start with bp it seems that
That it will be easier, safer and cheaper. Plus
I kind of like the smoke!
Last year I took a 10 gauge Elsie to south
Dakota for pheasants. Used brass shells
123 grains of Goex and 1.5 ounces magnum
6 shot. Had a ball, and even got some birds.
