Longy0710 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I have been invited on a duck flight tomorrow and need some advice, obviously I will be using steel shot (lylevale express steel 32grm 4's) and need to know if they will be ok through my current gun, renato gamba over under. I can't find a fleur de lys mark on the barrels but I believe these cartridges are not HP steel. Help please!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 If the shells are HP they should have 1050 bar printed on them with HP as well. If they do not have this then they are standard steel. Cool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longy0710 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 yea seems straight forward and I am right in thinking I can use standard steel through a gun without the fleur de lys mark?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes BASC has the best guide but what chokes are in the gun? Half or less is recommended iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProGunJohn Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Are they HP steel? Does the gun have Fleur de llys proof marks? http://www.hullcartridge.co.uk/solwaysteelmag.htm Well it's definitely chambered right at 3". I can't find the symbol anywhere tho, unless i have to strip it and it would be on the bottom of the barrel for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Normally with the other proof marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
