It is noted that both recoil & pressure are factors to watch in loading for older guns. As Dave noted in his earlier post "The metal parts respond to pressure. The wood parts and shooter respond to recoil." While it is true that pressure is not in the formula for recoil it is equally true that one can find low recoil loads which have higher pressures than some heavy, high recoil loads. it would not be advisable to use either in a lightly constructed older gun having a minimum wall thickness over the chamber.
