I've always wondered, whenever I read about 5,000 psi loads, whether some folks have determined that if low pressure is good, then even lower pressure must be better. Anyone have any basis, from vintage double literature, for keeping pressure that low? I sometimes think it must be people who were winners in a limbo contest: How low can you go? As noted above, one issue with very low pressure loads can be performance in cold weather. A lot of the old reloading manuals would carry notations such as "not a good cold weather load" on some low pressure recipes.
