Most 2-frame 12-gauge VH-/VHE-Grades that have been in use since the introduction of high velocity loads in 1922 have digested thousands of 1330 fps, 1 1/4 ounce, Super-X type loads. Many have probably digested their fair share of 1 1/2 ounce 12-gauge 2 3/4 inch magnums since their introduction in 1955, also.

We do know of a scarce few 1-frame 12-gauge guns that were marked on the barrels "For Standard Velocity Only". But, a decade later, Remington wasn't marking their 1/2-frame VHE-Grades "For Standard Velocity Only".
