I think you (or Cheditte or whoever) mean FPS not psi.

BTW I've had good luck with the Herter's 16 bore 1 oz. loads in 8s and 6s going 1165 fps in 16 bore 2 3/4 proofed doubles French and English. Seat of the shoulder seems they kick less than their Federal or Remington counterparts. Is it the straight walled hull?

Many "Economy" or "Dove and Quail Loads" kick far more than their payload and dram-equivalent skeet loads. Also I've found some use metric primers in SAAMI hulls. A good way to take your double gun off the face unless it's a Darne.
