Please excuse if this info is available elsewhere but would be very interested
to know the pressures of this load. That would be the factory load pressure. Thanks |

Thank You UDF, most appreciate your come back.I just recently obtained a very nice English 16 SLE and also was offered a case of Fiocchi Game loads.
The gun has recently been 2 3/4" nitroproofed so should handle them fine.
I have been reloading my own low pressure ammo for a long time so am well aware of pressure issues in vintage doubles. Cheers |

| Hi Mike, By issues I was referring to the fact that the earlier vintage doubles,particularly English, were built to handle chamber pressures in the 7000-8000 range and the ammo of that era was loaded to these levels.The modern ammo now available can range from 7,000- 11,000 and we don't want to subject the guns to those higher pressures. Loosening actions,cracking stocks etc. |
