Remington Express Long Range

[Ricko]

Hi can I use these cartridges:

 

Remington Express Long Range, marked on the cartridge "MAX 1050 BAR"

 

in a .410 that is proofed at 90MPa (900 BAR)

 

Cheers

Looks like you have answered your own question there

Europeans have two standards for shotshell chamber pressures. Low pressure, 740 bar, and high pressure, 1050 bar. Short shotshells, 2 3/8-2 3/4" are low pressure shells that will top out at a hair under 11,000 psi....long shells, those magnums you have, are certified to not exceed that higher pressure around 15,000 psi. The "max 1050 bar" means that particular shell is a long shell that won't exceed a safe pressure that the gun is rated for.

 

That "max 1050 bar" only means it won't exceed the high safe pressure limit....it doesn't mean it *is* that high safe pressure limit. In reality, a 3 1/2" "magnum" shell *could* quite commonly be only approx 12,000 psi.

 

 

thats what i found on a google site

BUT

its not like a hydraulic hose , you are putting these pressures near your head .

 

safest bet is to pass on those shells.

Hmmm, I wasn't sure, they were given to me with a .410 that I bought recently, best to be cautious I have a box of Lyalvale that I know are fine for this gun.
