I don't have any info on the T118, but I bought a few flats of Golden Medal Extra-lite paper T172 years ago and was curious about pressures, so I called them. The tech said "we like to keep them around 9500 psi." T172 is 1 1/8 oz. @ 1100 fps. I had hopeday to used them in my damascus guns but 9500 is too high. So, I shot about two flats into my steel barreled vintage double designed for that pressure.
I did work up a 6500 psi 1oz @ 1150 fps load in those hulls and have killed a few wild roosters with it as well as quail with my damascus guns, by loading them with either 7 1/2 or 5 shot.
