colig08 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi, I've got a browning B525. When I went to a gun shop to get some cartridges for the first time I explained to the assistant that I was going to be shooting ducks and possibly geese. He recommended that I didn't go for steel shot any bigger than a 5 as the barrels would get damaged which is fine for ducks but for geese the recommended shot size seems to be BB/1/3. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this gun and a larger shot size? Not long left in the season but would be keen to know for the future. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmcg Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I use a Browning 525 for all my shooting and put steel 1's through it for geese from a 3" cart no probs, if it's stamped for steel then the shot size shouldn't matter. I choke mine 1/4 1/4 for steel.....and for everything else now I think about it! Edited January 22, 2015 by bigmcg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
