andy_s Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 i've been shooting pigeons with my 12g lanber for a while now, not sure what model it is but it's from 1995 so i'm told. i've been using 30g or 32g no. 6 cartridges but wandered what the biggest cartridges i could use in this gun are. on the barrels it says 1200bar so does this mean i can use any cartridges so long as the pressure doesn't exceed 1200bar. i doubt i'll ever use any big cartridges in it but was just interested in potentially what i could use. andy_s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 What's the chamber length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 70mm (2 3/4") so obviously no longer than that but would it be ok to fire 36g no. 4 or even 42g no. 4 etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libs Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 There's no reason why not, but you may well feel it Some 70mm guns are limited to 36gr I belive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted August 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 that's what i thought. like i said i doubt i'll ever need or want to fire such big cartridges but just wondered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a box of 36g SG's and slip a couple into the end of my cartridge belt, just in case I see a fox. One box should last me a long time.
