Tony,
The pressure is much lower in RST's then standard off the shelve shells, I think (someone will chime in here) RST's are around 7000 psi and most factory shells are around 10,000 psi. Can you shoot regular shells in a good condition (that a smith has checked out) V grade, yes but the gun is at least 70 yrs old and probably more, so why put the strain on the wood and metal. Just my thoughts on it. Also besides RST, Polywad (Vintagers) and New Era both make low pressure shells. The other nice thing is your shoulder will thank you also. Eric
