Or perhaps #3 Don't put # 2 through a pressure gun and "pray like hell either the gun does not come apart or does not shoot loose real quick"
It is near impossible to read pressure signs (unless they are extremely high-dangerous) like it is possible to do when reloading centre fire ammo.
My suggestion to you is to stick with #1 EXACTLY as published down to the last component; small changes can have very large consequences.
I have probably reloaded 30-50000 shotshells and unless I know the pressures developed I DON'T DO IT!
Cheers and safe shooting

Thanks for the reply. I am using a published load, in fact slightly lighter than the published load so I'm confident about the pressure being fine. I've been reading up and it seems a 3mm cork filler will do the job so I'll give that a go. Thanks for the advice.
