FWIW, My EXPERIENCE, ruining a series of shotguns piling up waterfowl with 3" loads, has been contrary to the article.
Handloads with Blue dot, and later, STEEL, when pushed hard, either pounded the actions until things were bottoming out (gas semi's), Pounded the stock head apart, various pumps and SxS's, or loosened the gun until it felt like it was breaking in half when fired (some entry level American SxS's).
And these would be something like 11K psi, maybe 12 (edited after load checking), without me pounding away for an entire season of competitive shooting.
I "think" there might be some optimism in the claims of Dr. Wilson with regards to his favorite load.
