Shotshell Pressure Question?

[Opening Day]

Mike, I shoot alot of New Era ammo, matter of fact I think I have about five or six flats that need to be shot..... Nice low pressure ammo and if you need something custom load Brian will do it for you. Great company

Brad Bachelder is listed as a New Era retailer. I have tried Polywad Vintagers and like them. I noticed that RST seems to be the cartridge of choice with most of the forum members. Is there something about Polywad that I don't know?

Is there an actual hard number used as a standard breaking point for high and low pressure determination?

[Ed Blake]

"High" and "Low" pressure designations are relative terms in regards to vintage shotguns. I use a rule of thumb of anything over 8,500 psi is considered high, and if you think your gun can't handle 8,500 psi (for one reason or another) the gun should not be shot. Period. Go read Sherman Bell's series in the DGJ.

Mark, I have shot Poly-Wad shells for year's before RST came out. Jay Menefee run's a great company,is very free with info and deserves at least some of our business. But I must confess that when I have to buy shell's and not shoot my reloads RST is my shell of choice.
