Tony - Many of today's "Low Brass" shells (think promotional loads from Wally World) have surprisingly hight pressures. In order to minimize costs, the companies use small amounts of hot ,fast-burning powder that generates higher pressures. Agree that you should use purpose-built low pressure shells like RST

According to Winchester the X-tra Lite 2 3/4 dr.eq. shells with 1 oz. of shot are 8,500 psi, and I have used many similar commercial loads from Remington and Rio in both fluid and damascus barreled guns. You don't have to use RSTs. There are lots of less expensive, readily available alternatives.

Rio and Kemen 2 3/4 x 1 oz ammo runs about 7200 psi and B&P 2000 1 oz is 6600 psi
