Im looking to work up a good load to shoot regularly in a nice little Ithaca Flues 20 bore I recently came into. Ive read that turn of the century standard loads of 2 1/2 drams resulted in equivalent chamber pressures of 9000 psi for bulk and 11,000 psi for dense smokeless powder.
Looking at Hodgdons reloading tables show that the loads listed for 7/8 ounce payloads all range between the 9000 and 11000 psi range or higher and I cannot fing any load data for a 3/4 ounce load.
Not wanting to abuse this sweet little Flues, does anyone have any suggestions or documented pet loads they would be willing to share?
