Is Heavy Shot Ok In My Aya Sbs

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

Thinking of joining a wildfowling club..so need cartridge ideas to put through my Spanish sxs 12 bore, got to be non toxic.

Tungsten matrix or heavy shot will be fine mate,and will do the job admirably, expensive but so what? How many shots do you take on an average wildfowling trip?

Yes and no. You can't fire it through Damascus barrels. If you look at the BASC mag it tell you the difference between standard steel and high performance steel. Standard steel shot can be fired through any gun bar Damascus and high performance steel can ONLY be fired through steel proved guns. All steel cartridge boxes should be stamped either standard or high performance. Hope this helps....

Standard steel is not much good on the foreshore mate, it does not have the clout of the high speed stuff,it is ok for flightponds ect, tungsten or heavy shot, in your none steel proofed gun, I am looking forward to trying some of the new Eley lightning steel, that should hit hard @ over 1600fps.

I have been told by someone who ran the lightning steel over a chronograph that they are closer to 1450 fps. Even at that they will be more than effective.
