Here is what I have in mind. A 12 ga reload using Remington hull, Rem 209P primer, PurplePC wad, 16.7 grains of Clays, 1 oz shot. This load produces 1125 FPS @ 6100 psi. (Data from Hodgdon Manual, 2002) The gun that this will be used in is a Wm Lee (circa 1890) SLNE with nitro proofed barrels. For very ocasional use, mostly at vintage events and skeet.

I plan on evenutally using a similar PSI load in my 16's as found in the data from that I received from the 16 ga reloader's organization.

I have a case of Westley Richards, Classic Game Load 2 1/2" (65mm) Shells. After using a couple of boxes, I feel uncomfortable using them in this gun because there is no pressure data (that I could find)

I would appreciate any and all feedback.

PS: I went back over my DGJ's and found Sherman Bell's article.
