Jeff:

I will try to be explicit.

The 16g shells you currently have on hand are current SAAMI standard pressure, if they are American. Your Flues WAS NOT designed to shoot shells of such pressures and velocities. It may actually take the pressure, but the high velocity increases the " bending moment" at the breech face and may cause frame cracking.
