Reloading and short chambers

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

Shane,

Send me a PM with your email and I'll send Sherman Bell's 10 Ga loading data. Mr Bell did the "Finding Out For Myself" research in DGJ that a lot of us rely on.

The ITM available from your supplier would be perfect for your Thomas Bland. If you use a load recipe for lead add 2000 PSI to it for the harder non-toxic and you should be fine in that nitro proofed gun. There are many 6000-7000 PSI lead loads that with any extra pressure from ITM a nitro proofed gun would be fine with. But, if you notice any flatness of the primer the pressure is getting up there...

I'm missing something. All other things being equal, why would harder non-tox shot generate higher pressures?
