I'm having difficulty visualizing a 16 that's safe to shoot with anything, but in which you need to use sub-7K psi loads. You go too low in pressure and you start having problems with reliable performance if it gets very cold.


He's in Alabama, Larry, Alabama. Same latitude as me roughly. No problems with loads as low as 5100 psi, even with IMR 7625, here, winter or not. Doesn't get "very" cold down here.
