Go here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...UOZEFU/preview and see what pressures were. Even back around 1900 they were a lot higher than we'd image. I'd have to think your old gun was shot with shells that had pressures much higher than you'd ever reload. That link is from one thread over that Drew House posted.
