I recently bought a grade 3 Flues made in 1912 and had a question about shell pressures. It has Krupp barrels, but the barrel walls at the chambers seems fairly thin. I don't have a wall thickness gauge, but there's not much meat on those bones. With 28" barrels it weighs 6 lbs. even. It doesn't look like there has been any honing done on the bores or chambers. It action is very tight. I have some Gamebore 2 1/2" 16 shells, but I'm hesitating using any in in this one. Does anyone have an opinion on suitable pressures for the Ithacas?
