Good point Kensal. I hand load my 1 1/4 oz. loads to 1200 fps. I don't use any of the factory shells that produce over 13,000 fps. My loads kick mildly and the pressures are under 7,500 psi. The Harrison and Hussey patterns beautifully with them. I wouldn't shoot any of the factory 1 1/4 oz. loads in my Hussey or any other gun. The gun was proofed at the factory for 1 1/4 oz. loads obviously built for an American. I believe that I am doing the gun no damage with my hand loads. But you have a great point. Thanks for your response.
