sorry tamara...i though that was correct. if 50 year old shotguns can take modern loads like champs then what is the problem. high brass does not mean higher pressure.

sorry for being "wrong" everyone, if your worried about it and high pressures then don't buy high brass. Me and my old and new shotguns shoot it just fine. As far as young goes, that is correct...I am indeed young, but inexperienced, not so much. Since you have an issue with what I have stated, thats cool, but your not right all the time because you are a mod. If my old guns work fin with high brass loads, then i am guessing most will.
