Unkel:
You are giving piss poor advice to a new reloader. I've loaded thousands of metallic cartridges and about a hundred thousand shotshells and they are not the same thing. There are more variables in a shotgun shell than a metallic cartridge and pressure differences can be cause by different primers, different wads and different hulls.
The difference can be a couple thousand PSI just moving from primer to primer. Combined with the wrong wad in the wrong shell, you can go off the scale real fast. Sure, they will all go bang and you might be within the pressure parameters but why fool around with such things when the loading manuals will give you all the options you want within reasonable pressure ranges.
Incidentally, high pressure shotgun loads do not react like high pressure rifle or pistol loads. It's a different game entirely.
