shotgun shell ?

[Richard Flanders]

A bit hard to read the bottom table that Dave posted but the middle one indicates that in 2-3/4" chambers loads of 10,500psi are ok. The middle one looks like it suggests 3-3/4 - 4 dram loads. Seems someone recently posted that the traditional 3-3/4dram, 1-1/4oz loads of recent yesteryear(50's-70's)are in the 10,500psi range. I've acquired a lot of those stout old loads the past couple of years and have shot them in stout and not so stout Parkers and my Daly and I can tell you they boot you good in the lighter guns, which is part of the reason I just purchased the #2 framed SG VH12 off Gunbroker. I really don't want to crack a stock on the lighter guns. Strangely enough, the Parker I worry the least about is my 1883 hammer gun with it's nice stout bbls and stock. I think it would even handle the old paper Super-X 2-3/4" 1-1/2 oz magnum 2's I picked up this fall, but I think they'll get passed on to Destry for use in his big #3 framed gun instead. Am I reading these posted load tables correctly??
