It wasn't higher pressures in the Estate shells that broke them, even tho' their pressures probably were in the 9-10K range. It was the combination of velocity and payload, generating too much recoil for the old wood, or poorly inletted old wood. I can load shells that will generate the same recoil as that Estate shell, without high pressures, and wreck one old gun after another with them. JMEO
