Found another DuPont ballistic table
Clearly the c. 1920's published pressures as significantly higher than the c. 1900 pressures. Some can be explained by different powders, and it may be that by 1920 the DuPont Brandywine Experimental Station testing was more accurate

Numbers require
adding 10 - 14% for modern piezo transducer pressures.
12 gauge 1 1/8 oz. in 2 3/4” Winchester Leader hull
3 Dram = 7,616 psi.....Max. 9,565 psi
3 1/4 Dr. = 7,840 psi
16 gauge 1 oz. in 2 7/8” hull
2 1/2 Dram = 7,683 psi.....Max. 8,176 psi
2 3/4 Dr. = 8,243 psi
3 Dr. = 9,363 psi
20 gauge 7/8 oz. in 2 7/8” hull
2 1/4 Dram = 10,550 psi.....Max. 11,715 psi
2 1/2 Dr. = 12,208 psi.....Max. 13,285 psi
2 3/4 Dr. = 12,902 psi.....
Max. 14,022 psi + 10-14% - WOW!
