there's barrels and there's wood
there's pressure and there's recoil
IMHO
pressure affects the barrels and recoil affect the wood (and the shooter in the extreme)
i use a bismuth load from the Hodgdon site -modest pressure at 7200 PSI -
but pushes an ounce and a quarter at 1350- I have not done the math - but not a soft load
i'm not worried about the damascus barrels with it but I stick with the guns with better heavier wood - like 3 frames
RSTs go light in both aspects -
as I say - just my opinion - but I think we confuse the two when we get chatting about "light" loads
