Loading low pressure shells

[Jim Partlow]

Looking for info on reloading 2.5" 12 gauge low
Pressure shells in Federal paper shells. Also like to use
WAA12L or WAA12. Have plenty of all three.
Two questions: Seems like using black powder provides
More versatility in payload and velocity while maintaining
Low pressures, true or not true? Does loading a listed 2.75"
Load into a 2.5" shell with roll crimp change pressure?
Guns I'm loading for: 1900's vintage Levefer and
Ithaca crass. Both are damascus.
I do have a good amount of experience reloading
Short shells, black powder as well as loading for modern
shotguns. Just looking for as much info as I can find. I also
Load 2.5" 16's for two Parkers and one Baker.
