Most of my reloads are in the 5000 psi range. I have shot a round of sporting clays with factory Winchester AA XtraLite 1 oz loads @ about 8400 psi through an 1881 lifter Parker with Twist barrels. I am low on on IMR 7625 powder and have been loading AA hulls with WST and 1 oz of shot @ 7400 psi through my Twist and Damascus Parkers. After Sherman Bell blew up my VH, I felt much as you do about these guns being able to handle anything. However, out of deference to the old wood, steel and me, I try to keep the pressures and recoil to a minimum.
