fendrover90 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I had one for five years put well over 15000 carts through it and used it for a bit of fowling aswell till I wanted bigger loads but it will handle anything in 3" you throw at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I use a Urika 1 and it's fine. I just keep below half choke. I would have thought the Urika 2 would have chokes marked for steel proof though - see here: Every Beretta choke tube has information engraved on the tube to identifying the manufacturer (PB), the constriction (F, IM, M, IC, CYL), the approval for steel shot use (SP) and the choke type (Optima-Choke, Optima-Choke Plus, Optima-Choke HP) Are they not marked with 'SP'?

mpk Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I had a urika 2 for 2-3 years and used it prodomenetly for fowling with heavy 3" steel loads (through no tighter than 1/2). They are technically not "steel proof" and my chokes also had nothing written on them concerning steel however, the thing was bomb proof and I never had any issues firing hp steel through mine. Obviously I don't advise you do it but I did and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
