TJ91 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 is the above gun proofed for steel shot? also, can bismuth and tungsten be used in any gun that isnt proofed for steel shot, like my old s/s?? the s/s matches the pressure proof on the bismuth cartridge box and is the correct chamber length, i would like to use it for ducks as i well practised with it..?

mpk Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) I have a 1400 (semi auto) that is not proofed for steel shot and i think the 1300 is the pump version of the one i have , Dont know about the pressures etc but i definetly know that bismuth is realy expensive, You will be better off buying a gun that is steel proof . I bought a supernova pump today brand new and got it for £575. If you work out how much you will spend on bismuth compared to steel it does'nt seem to irrational :unsure: Edited June 25, 2010 by mpk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ91 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 thanks. I have thought about that but a family member passed away a few months back and i have been left a good stack of 2 3/4inch bismuth shells which will keep me going at the ducks through the coming season and probably most of next! I would like to stick with my gun for this season (if the bismuth doesnt damage the barrels) and get a new semi auto beginning of next year.

I can see your point if you got them you may as well use them , Im sure someone on here could answer your question but if not maybe your local gun shop?
