Steel Shot question

[Dan_Mercian 27]

Good afternoon everyone!

 

I mentioned to a friend I wouldnt mind bagging a goose for christmas, He's made some phonecalls (dads an ex game keeper) and he's got it sorted.

 

So Ive just got back from the gunshop where I bought some Gamebore 32g steel no3's, Upon opening the box im faced with a note "for use in a weapon steel shot proved to 1370 bar" "steel shot barrels will be marked with the steel shot proof symbol a fleur de lys"

 

Now ive got the 1370 bar bit printed on my barrels (a lanber) but I cant see a fleur de lys.

 

Do I need to go out a buy a new gun? I was planning on getting a semi auto soon anyways

Well mate i have shot alot of steel shot i used to buy federal cartidges they are costly though about a £1 each and i used to fire them out of a cheapy 3inch magnum barrel without any probs but best to make sure though brilliant cartridge (federal) stops foxes dead in their steps but a lot bigger kick though .

no, the fleur de lys is only a steel shot proof symbol, the higher 1370 BAR proof is the magnum steel shot proof if you have that then you may fire the higher pressured magnum loads, (just make sure they are the right length!
