Hello, I'm new to 16ga forum, because guess what? I just bought an antique 16ga Ithaka Flues SxS. And I have a couple of questions. By the serial number I gather that the gun was manufactured in 1917. In 1917 shot shells were paper with a fiber wad. I plan to hand load lead and ITX for dove, teal and grouse. Do I need to load paper with a fiber wad or can I load modern plastic hulls with a plastic gas seal like the z16 from BP. The barrels are choked full and modified. BP has a number of recipes for lead and ITX that include chamber pressure. I understand chamber pressure is an issue, so what would a reasonable chamber pressure be? Or what pressure should I stay below.

I sent a message to RWG inquiring about the low pressure load data. Also posted on the General Forum.
