So it's okay if someone corrects your misunderstanding?

I suspect if you are going to use your own reloads, and Elsie with good wood would hold up well to low pressure reloads.


Pressure (chamber) has nothing to do with how well old wood holds up to shooting. That is determined by recoil, which is not determined by shell pressure. Excessive chamber pressure stresses the action, affecting the barrel/action relationship.

As you said, if you wish to find that insulting that's your choice. No insult intended.
