Sadly my little single barrel damascus 28 bore is only black powder proof. I use the Magtech brass cases and black powder and find that the best way to go. Just a bit more cleaning required but a safer option unless yours in nitro proof. Lagopus.....

Thanks to all who replied to my post especially Drew House, KY Jon and Ithaca 1. I missed the above recipe for 2 3/4” shell.
I will definitely send in the loads to be tested first. Just to make sure.

I appreciate all of your advice and information!
