That's what I was afraid of. If they are actually producing 2 3/4 and 3inch loads that are 12,000 PSI that's over the SAAMI max of 11,500. Anyway, there's no way I'm putting them in my old doubles. Options are getting fewer and fewer.

I am shooting their Legacy loads through my guns because they are loaded to lower pressures as I understand it.
9700 is still too high for 120-year-old guns, IMO. Sub-8000psi is better and there is a manufacturer who specializes in 6000-7000psi loads just for the old guns, but they have supply-chain issues and it's hard to get what you need when you need it. sub-10,000 is probably ok for WWII and younger guns though, so I'm glad to see Boss is addressing that market!

KC I hear ya. I only shoot it in limited amounts through my 1944 and 1905 LC Smith guns. I shoot RST lead through them as their primary shells. I won't shoot the Boss through my old London gun. I am more concerned with the headstock than I am the frame and barrels. I really need RST to get back in the game with their paper hulls. They also need to figure out a better shipping solution. They charge way too much for shipping compared to what Boss does.

Salt creek shows low pressure loads.
That's a company I hadn't heard of. Thank you!
