berettaman Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi i have an older (pre-beretta take over)Lanber o/u and would like to know if it woukld be safe to put gamebore 24gram steel loads through it. They are in a platic wad shot cup but would still appreciate any advise or anybody elses experience with steel through the slightly older gun thanks in anticipation of your answers. berettaman :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveo26 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Maybe no ones prepared to tell you to use them because it could ruin your gun/your face..... Iv heard if its choked less than 1/2 and the gun is in good condition you should be ok. However id get Gunsmiths advice mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshiretaxidermy Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 As above and with nothing bigger than no4 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) 24g loads are clay loads so yes you should be ok as long as you go no tighter than 1/2 choke. Having said that, it looks by your signature that you've got a Urika2? They're steel proofed, so if you're still unsure at least you can fall back on that?

berettaman Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Just to explain i know i have the URIKA but theres a group of us do clays on a sunday and now and then we change guns one week we all use semi-autos next s/s and so on ,now i have bought the gamebore 24gram steel loads in bulk and needed to know if it would be ok to use them in the Lanber for clays oh and they are 7.5s work great in the Urika but quriosity gets the better of me,Although the Lanber is of the older model its more or less brand new not a scratch on it perfect bores and as tight as anew one,if i dont sell it soon i will be tempted to put the steel through it,hence my question :blink: BM Thanks for the replies recieved so far fellas :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
