Shot shells pressure.. how important..

[charlie cleveland]

i shoot thefactory field loads in 7/8 to 11/4 in the 20 ga 16 ga and the 12..for a lot of years in my old doubles with never a issue except one..i bought some bargain loads from a friend about 300 of them for 15 dollars all were low brass shells they were not over 6 years old..i was dove hunting with them one of those shells kicked like both barrels went off at same time but did not it broke my stock on a 94 remington at the wrist...i fiunished shooting up the same shells in a old stevens double with no problems..these were factory loads all i know is maybe that shell set on a dasboard of a truck in direct sunlight or was dropped in water and changed the powder load some way..i guess what i m trying to say if you shoot enough sooner or later you will have a problem with a gun and a load of some kind...in my shooting thru the yearsi bulged a 20 ga single gun barrel..blowed the side out of a barrel on a 28 ga rem..automatic and broke the stock on the 94 rem... those have been my mishaps a shooting and hunting...i reload and i shoot factory loads from lite to as much lead and powder as the factorywill pack in there loads but im like every one else i choose the gun with which load im gonna shoot it it..and some of my old guns will dijest anything made with no problems.. charlie
