Default Federal 7/8 Loads

Federal called back...
the nice man on the phone said sorry it took so long to get back to me, but he had to go to balistics to get that information.. so here it is..

The 7/8 #8 1200fps Loads, number TG12EL have between 7500-8000 "max" presure.

He said thats quite a bit "lower" than their "normal" loads that are around 10,500 pressures. I think hes probably talking about the 1 1/8oz loads.. around the same FPS..

So there ya have it.. its a bit higher than i was hoping for.. what do you guys think..?
I know for steel barrels they are ok, what about Damascus?
I think the 7500 is probably ok... not so sure about 8000..
